SkySphere Material Bugged

[Emperock]

Hello there,

for a while now I have had this bugged sky dome material. I thought it was normal until somebody told it wasnt. Is there a quick fix for this? It seems to break at the top

The sides look normal

It’s because you’re using a normal sphere for the sky mesh.

If you use a dome with the UVs projected from above, it’s probably better

[Emperock]

is there a mesh for that in unreal?

[ClockworkOcean]

Sphere

Plane cut

Invert normals

Project UVS

Then you can use any material

That’s how you do it

[Emperock]

Thank you. Unfortunately I think it is just the material that creates this problem. Your solution didnt fix it.

[ClockworkOcean]

It’s not the material. That pinching you have at the top is the classic sphere UV problem

You still have a sphere, not a dome, I don’t think you followed the guide

If I put a test material on a normal sphere, I get

on my dome

I followed your guide, created a sphere, cut it and unfilled the hole, inverted the normals and projected the new uv but it still gives me the same result
