i was just thinking about godot and how to do skyboxes/shaders and then i see this video uploaded 3 minutes ago, spooky!

[@stayathomedev]

Discovering your channel was a surprise, thanks for the great content!

[@stayathomedev]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@dimitriousdrake]

I'll be honest, I had no idea about any of this, I was just looking to get a simple skybox working, but you've revealed to me the wonderful world of sky shaders. You've definitely made my games look a lot more interesting now, thank you

[@crigz]

Mega useful video as always mate!

[@stayathomedev]

Thanks Crigz!

[@auto7385]

[@stayathomedev]

Thanks!

trying to follow along but your moving way to fast and not explain some of the stuff your doing... such as the part where you turn the sky blue... your code doesnt make it blue nor do you select a color blue... it just magically turns blue? what gives?... i just cant follow along now, as while yours looks fine with a slight blue sky mine is dark black and i cant even see the floor.... "You can add a color to the sky using a vector with this code here"... (magically turns sky blue)... meanwhile people trying to follow this sky isnt blue its black and that line of code doesnt do anyhting, please explaiN.

He never showed where he set the color. Starting at 0:54 seconds where he sets Background to Mode 'Sky.' Then he moves down right below Background to the Sky section, and selects 'New Sky.' On that same spot the term 'Sky' appears. (Yes, Godot likes to use the same word for everything.) He clicks on 'Sky' and then he is able to select Sky Material as 'NewShaderMaterial' which is replaced by the white ball. Click on THAT white ball, which shows where he clicks on Shader option 'NewShader' in which he saves the shader named Skyshader. Before moving forward notice how the new named shader is under Sky Material and has a sub-option 'Resource.' When you click on the new shader it brings up the shader code on the bottom. That's where you fill out the information. When you write in "uniform vec3 skyColor : source_color;" Now look BACK to the Shader Material on the right side. A new option called 'Shader Parameters' has appeared. Click on it and an option named after skyColor is there, and you can click the color and set it. Then go back and finish writing the COLOR = skyColor in the void sky() method.

Did this verbatim and still no sky just black@@leegaul2161

[@donj3137]

Literally as i typed this... the energy multiplier had a reset arrow when i clicked that it turned blue!

[@HurricaneSA]

@@leegaul2161 Thank you for this.

[@hawkgamedev]

cant wait to make a game where you get a better tan depending on the part of the world you are xD, jokes aside great explanation this is super useful!

[@plopsis]

Very cool as always.

[@stayathomedev]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bellemere84]

As a new game developer, I found shader is really powerful and hard to learn, I wish somebody could make some tutorials from scratch, like 2d water/ fire.

[@stayathomedev]

For 2D games or 2D effects in 3D?

[@bellemere84]

​@@stayathomedev Thanks for your reply! I think 2D is more friendly to beginners.

[@thehattedhedgehog]

When editing the shader code, no changes seem to take effect until I launch the game. Any suggestions? Great video btw

[@thehattedhedgehog]

I restarted the editor and it workeddhuh

[@stayathomedev]

Thanks, more sky stuff coming soon

[@jzenism]

That part of the video doesnt work at all for me... i apply his code but my sky isnt blue nor does any changes happen... just blackness.... kinda annoyed at all these tutorials but the user doesnt really explain anything.

[@Shawn-cq7qy]

Hi can you make a video on how to make a coin 3d please it will be good for others games❤

[@beewoman]

I dunno if this is the right place to ask, but do you have any or plans on making a tutorial for - or pointers for - a Tilebased RTS, kind of like Fire Emblem or Advance Wars in 3D?

[@stayathomedev]

Definitely could...There will be a hexgrid tutorial coming soon that might help.

[@kiocode]

how can i create the sky image? is a panoramic ldr? which are the measures?

[@stayathomedev]

2:1 ratio. Typical HDRI images should work

[@sajberkg]

is the source code for your cool sky available anywhere?

[@stayathomedev]

There is actually a full asset package coming very soon for the entire sky system!

[@EeVeE3D]

Nice

[@BigEraser42]

Do u like Chicken Tikka Masala?

[@ChowderhoundGames]

Read my review of this addon on the itch page plz

[@maniksharma9736]

Use visual shader please!

[@stayathomedev]

Definitely something to look at!

[@sie85]

shame that asset store does not support paypal

[@GeneralChrisGaming]

Far to much detail being left out for what is many is assuming is a sky shader tutorial for godot 4. I find myself saying how and what u did to get to what you are referencing which is simply going to do more damage to the new people who want to learn or pick up sky shaders. There isnt enough resources for godot to assume people are going to know what your doing especially as godot rapidly grows in popularity. Maybe this is a advance shader tutorial but if isnt labels you cant defend this. I am disappointed and I have some experience with shaders

[@FelskiTV]

Hi, I bought you godot sky and having some issues. Sadly I cannot join your discord. The link is not working. How can I contact you?

[@stayathomedev]

Sure, send an email to [e-mail]
