LWRP Skybox Component doesn't work?

Hey, new to the LWRP. It would appear that the Skybox Component does not function with the LWRP. Is that true or am I doing something wrong. The skybox does work in the light settings though.
This does not:

 

That hasn't been the way to apply a skybox for a long time, at least 4 years now since Unity 5.x days
What you are looking for is under the in the lighting settings. You can apply your skybox material there.

Window -> Rendering -> Lighting Settings

 

Using a Skybox component is still very useful because it allows you to have a different skybox per camera. There are many VFX reasons to do this.

This is *NOT* simply a matter of "this is the old way so don't do it anymore". The documentation itself is clear that this is a feature which allows having different skybox settings for different cameras, even though the documentation is aware of "the new way" of using lighting settings to set a single, global skybox for all cameras. (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Skybox.html)

@CDF did you submit a bug report about this? Not having this in LWRP is breaking some of our interior vs exterior vehicle rendering right now.

 

You are talking about the builtin render pipeline and he is asking about LWRP which is now URP. The only way to assign a skybox with LWRP/URP is what's shown above. It's a different render pipeline than the standard/builtin and it doesn't work the same way as it.

 

No, I am talking about lwrp as you can see in my post. (Yes, that is now being renamed urp.)

 

No I haven't submitted a bug report. For my purposes, setting the skybox in the light settings was the solution

 

Hi @Andre_Mcgrail , can you please confirm that the skybox component works with 6 sided skybox, mine is not working in LWRP
webgl?. It works if set it in lighting setting but I need to use more cameras and need to change on runtime. Unity version is 2019.2.21f

 

Can confirm Skybox however does not affect environment lighting (==black) with

Unity 2019.3.3f1
Universal RP 7.1.8

Simply use URP preset, clear baked data and hit play, environment lighting gets black.

Setting environment lighting source to gradient or color works.

Or am I doing something wrong?

 

Not sure if this applies here but a very frustrating and annoying aspect of setting the Skybox via the Light settings is that Light settings are Scene specific.

Meaning if you have multiple scenes, the Light settings will change depending on which scene is active (in editor and game mode). Therefore, you may have set the Skybox on whatever scene you had activated in the editor but when you play and you start with a different scene you'll see that the Skybox will revert to a different skybox depending on how things are configured.

It took me hours to figure that out unfortunately. The UI of the Light settings should make it clear that its Scene specific.

 

Had the same issue. Turns out, the Skybox component in URP only works if Lighting settings Skybox property is not null.
