[Nillere]

Well, as the title says, tis' thread be about skies in sc2. I've seen pictures showing them, though I do have some problems finding them in my own editor, and wondered if anybody know how to work with them?

Thanks in advance,

Not all texture sets have a sky.

Not all texture sets have a sky.

The wiki lists the skyboxes; you can see clearly which texture sets have a skybox.

Or you could just bother looking at the background in the editor or looking up the textureset data.

For future reference for anyone playing with skyboxes, sometimes they don't show up in the editor (as the background will just appear black) and to remedy that hold down CTRL and move the mousewheel down to make it appear.

Thats due to clipping range so as to keep the editor responsive. Holding control and scrolling lets you adjust that. Be warned that complex maps viewed from a far with long clipping range will perform badly in the editor and might cause performance problems with other programs running.
