skysphere texture looks washed out?

[Delta1]

Hi there,

Why does my newly added hdri skysphere image look so washed out?

This is what it looks like in game:

This is what it looks like as a texture and how I want it to look in game:

How do I fix this problem?

The image itself is an 8k, I’ve set it to no mipmaps, but the maximum texture size setting only goes to a max of 2048?

I’d really appreciate some help guys!

Hi Makigirl,

Thanks for replying, but can you please tell me exactly how to change this?

Hi!

I’m not sure how it is lately but back in the past if you needed a higher resolution HDRI you had to change it in one of the config files…

Yeah…this is not really working as far as I know. About the .hdr image resolution…you can compile an engine version from source code to get all .cpp files. There is one for cubemaps or something like that (sorry dont remember which one it was, but I can check again at work^^) and there you can set the max allowed input resolution for .hdr images. I was able to set this to 4096 but havent tried more since I was quite pleased with the results^^

Itd be massively helpful if you could please find out for me, there must also be a way to do this without having to recompile from source code?

That bluish tint could be caused by an Atmospheric Fog actor too, do you have one in your scene?

Thats exactly what it was!

Thankyou everyone that’s replied with useful input, very much appreciated!
