  • Added

    • Links to new online documentation.
    • New sample scene showcasing how to combine both skybox effects.

  • Changed

    • Disabled depth write on both procedural skybox shaders, to prevent depth conflicts with the VFX Graph skybox effect.

  • Fixed

    • Reconnected disconnected nodes in the VFX Graph skybox effect for nebula rendering.
    • The Procedural Sun module in Procedural Space Skybox and Cubemap Skybox with Procedural Sun would get misaligned when moving the camera.
    • Sun Distance (internal property) value was set too low, causing the shimmer effect to become misaligned with the sun core in the skybox when moving the camera. A larger default value has been set to prevent this issue.
