Foggy Skydome + Sun – Shader

An article by mgear    3 Comments

SkyDome mesh with special shader: Foggy Sun With Gradient Sky (sun direction based on directional light)
Currently its bit too bright/foggy.. (this shader converted to unity from NVidia dx11 resources)

Features v1.0
– Adjustable sky texture (not used in the webplayer, just colors. See image #2 for custom sky texture)
– Adjustable dark & light colors
– Sun direction can be animated by rotating directional light
– 1 Skydome mesh with 1 shader (no unity fog enabled)

Ideas:
– Adjust colors (darker night or different night texture?)
– Animated clouds? (or use the previous animated sky clouds system?)
– Use better skydome mesh? (now its using default unity sphere..)
