I do have the Camera Skybox Data component on the camera

24

well…got it working…it seems the root scene that loads other scenes needs a skybox on it or else no other skyboxes will load

25

Really? :thinking: that would certainly be a bug

26

will open an issue internally

27

28

its just keeping the root scene skybox on all other scenes

by user 300386587278049291

30

but i’m not getting the “Failed to load skybox” error

31

When you load a scene with another camera set to “MainCamera” and Clearflags to skybox?

32

yea

33

with debuglightmaps parameter I do see 3 unique “Registering Skybox” messages

by user 300386587278049291

34

(I have root and 2 external scenes, all with diff skyboxes)

35

I’m in URP so it’s called Background Type: Skybox

by user 300386587278049291

36

Ok that should definitely work

37

debugcam shows Set Skybox that 'seem’s correct

by user 300386587278049291

38

you can get access to the loaded skybox with this._skybox = this.context.lightmaps.tryGetSkybox(this._camera.sourceId) as THREE.Texture; the sourceId is basically the relative url where it was loaded from.

39

its a bit misleading (lightmaps containing the skybox) that needs to change at some point. But maybe as a workaround you can see what’s inside and try to set it yourself

This is the CameraSkybox enable code:

enable() {
        this._skybox = this.context.lightmaps.tryGetSkybox(this._camera.sourceId) as THREE.Texture;
        if (!this._skybox) {
            console.warn("Failed to load/find skybox texture", this);
        }
        else if (this.context.scene.background !== this._skybox) {
            if (debug)
                console.log("Set skybox", this._camera, this._skybox);
            this._skybox.encoding = sRGBEncoding;
            this._skybox.mapping = EquirectangularReflectionMapping;
            this.context.scene.background = this._skybox;
        }
    }
