rendersettings.skybox

I'm having some issues assigning a skybox using unity 5.

in unity 4.6.x I would just use.

RenderSettings.skybox = sky1;

where sky is a material references from the editor.

It has no effect in unity 5. Skybox is not visible and no effect on enlighten...

How would I change my skybox using a script and have enlighten and the camera see this new skybox?

 

This is the code.

public void MorningLights(NavItem pNavItem){
Lights.SetActive (true);
Lights2.SetActive (false);
Lights3.SetActive (false);
RenderSettings.skybox = sky1;

}

so skybox and lights change with RC1, but Enlighten does not update the GI information on the change.

Any Ideas?

 

It is. And it works with the skybox assigned in the editor. But changing the skybox during game with the script does not effect the assigned skybox, or realtime GI.

 

Have you access to an oculus and head mounted leap motion so i can show you what I mean.

When I assign an new skybox during the game the GI does not change. It still uses the skybox that was assigned in the editor as the source for ambient lighting.

Is this normal?

 

For anyone having similar issues. It seems that gradient based illumination is the way to go. Changing gradient at runtime changes GI in the environment.

 

In Unity 5.2.1f1 I am seeing the same issue.

Setting the RenderSettings.skybox at runtime does not cause the ambient source to update and correctly light the scene.

Is this a bug?

 

It appears that in order for the lighting to update, you need to set RenderSettings.skybox and then set RenderSettings.ambientmode to skybox. In that order.
However the skybox reflections that would normally appear as a reflection on the Standard shader do not update.
