Hello,

I am trying to achieve a texture to pan across my skybox and that doesn’t warp around the sphere. This is in hopes to get some slow moving clouds to move across the sky. I would like to achieve this in the skybox material.

I know I could cheat and use a flat plane with translucency, but we cant afford this in our translucency budget.

hey there !  
youcan do a virtual plane, and us its UV to show your texture :
