Question about camera maxZ with Skybox with infiniteDistance=true

[hsonguk]

Hi Experts,

When skybox with infiniteDistance=true, the skybox moves with camera which is expected.

But when I set the camera MaxZ to smaller value, skybox will still be clipped.

I am expecting skybox will always be visible no matter what MaxZ value is.

Is that normal or a BUG?

If it is normal, is there any other way that i can make sure the skybox is always visible?

Thanks.

The playground from this post shows how to draw the skybox below everything else (so you can make it small so it is not clipped by minZ):

How to render background material or skybox below everything else?

By default, rendering group ids go from 0 to 4. You can change the MIN_RENDERINGGROUPS and MAX_RENDERINGGROUPS properties in RenderingManager to modify this range. So, if you set MIN_RENDERINGGROUPS = -1, you will be able to set the renderingGroupId property of the skybox to -1 without changing the renderingGroupId of the other meshes:

Thank you. I will try it out. I will search the forum first next time.
