3D sky issue

Late last night i started to make the 3D-sky for Dm_valley.. Everything
worked fine and everything was put in place very, very quick.

After compilation I almost screamed in horror, my worst fears had been true.

The 3D-sky isnt affected by Far Z clip plane (even if I put an env_fog
inside the 3D-skybox aswell), and therefore the result gets really
uggly when being far from the ends of the map:



At close range it looks OK..



HORROR!

Do you guys have a quick and painless solution to this problem?

That looks like more of a vis error, check the compile log to see if there is anything like "portal saw into cluster" stuff.

Posting And You

Have you tried tampering with the fog values in the skycamera's settings?

Yes, you may only add fog, not change far Z clip plane...

You can't change this. The Far-Z plane doesn't affect the 3D skybox on
purpose (otherwise the 3D sky would clip and it would ruin the
illusion!). I'm afraid the only way is to shift your level around or
extend the draw distance. Sorry.

It doesn't look like you need to hide the skybox or anything else in your map- it's only a few displacement surfaces and small skybox buidings- even if you want to, you should set fog values in your skycamera anyway. The only potential worry are those textures on the surrounding metal wall killing your swapbuffers, so you might want to use cheap versions of those textures.

I tried to use fog but it only made everything worse... The 3D-sky is
too far away which makes it being in fog all the time, until you stand
right in front of it..
