About Skybox & Cam

[sMartins]

I was thinking that adding some default skyboxes according to biome and day/night cycle in conjunction with an improved cam that allow to switch to a distant 3d person view (zooming in or adding some shortcuts, idk) could result in a very attractive graphic for many players out there with not too much effort, at least from what i think.
Maybe could become boring very soon cause the pictures will be always the same, but also maybe Loftar knows some tricks to mix them a bit or something like that, or a better/proper way to accomplish what i'm talking about. And i guess Jorb should also works on the pictures design in a way that they match the game graphic.
It maybe worth some discussion about.

I already found by myself the major issue...what happen when you keep walking watching at the sky? It will change suddenly according to biome? mmmm...
I guess only sky pictures could eventually be added, but here same question: what happen with day/night cycle? They should be animated, is it possible?
I guess more effort is already needed than i thought initially.

Some default skyboxes would be nice. But how would they make them? These guys are, with all due respect, not Bob Ross.

But I think we can worry about the colour of the sky more after we've established an official skybox of some kind. I would like something rather than not at all.

Default cam = you cant see skybox.
cam bad is broken anyways. Stuff like knarr sketches etc dont work properly on it.
I doubt devs will support it anytime soon.

I think devs have stated before they will not add skyboxes.
Because default camera is ortho. And with ortho cam you will never see the black background.
If they would "offically support" bad cam as well. There would be a lot of work to be done. For example knarr sketches dont work at all.

official skybox color is black.

Very philosophically astute, but you and I both know what I mean, ya little pissant.

Skybox, and infinite rendering distance, would both be nice.
