Details
Skyboxes are rendered before anything else in the scene in order to give the impression of complex scenery at the horizon. They are a box of 6 textures, one for each primary direction (+/-X, +/-Y, +/-Z).
You have two options for implementing Skyboxes. You can add them to an individual Camera (usually the main Camera) or you can set up a default Skybox in Render Settings’s Skybox Material property. The Render Settings is most useful if you want all Cameras in your scene to share the same Skybox.
Adding the Skybox Component to a Camera is useful if you want to override the default Skybox set up in the Render Settings. E.g. You might have a split screen game using two Cameras, and want the Second camera to use a different Skybox. To add a Skybox Component to a Camera, click to highlight the Camera and go to .
Unity’s Standard Assets contain 2 pre-setup Skybox materials in .

Hints
- If you have a Skybox assigned to a Camera, make sure to set the Camera’s Clear mode to Skybox.
- It’s a good idea to match your Fog color to the skybox’s color. Fog color can be set in Render Settings.
