Check out our new bite-sized tutorial, which shows you an effective and simple workflow for using HDR skies with CRYENGINE.

Discover how to improve your scenes with HDR skies in our new mini-tutorial hosted by Roman Perezogin, one of our Junior Technical Designers, who takes you step-by-step through his workflow for setting up HDR sky textures in CRYENGINE using Photoshop. The video also demonstrates how to create a material file and set up the skybox in the environment editor. And all in under six minutes! You can follow along with this tutorial by visiting HDRI Skies, a provider of high dynamic range full 360° HDRi skydomes, which you can download in 2K resolution for free.

The tutorial is aimed at users who are already comfortable with using the sandbox. If you are entirely new to CRYENGINE, we recommend you download our beginner’s course or watch the tutorial on our YouTube channel.
