**Unreal Engine 5 UE5 How to Create a Skybox | Sky & Atmosphere System**

_Welcome to the third video of an exciting new series here on 3D Tudor on YouTube!_

Hi, I’m Luke! Help me celebrate joining 3D Tudor with this new YouTube tutorial series about Unreal Engine 5.

The video is a complete introduction to the UE5 Sky and Atmosphere System. It teaches you how to use HDRI textures to set up a material to be used within the Unreal Engine 5 skybox.  
You will learn how to set up an adjustable material to learn how to easily rotate it and increase or decrease exposure to light in your UE5 scene.

Give me a like and subscribe if you like this kind of content.  
Thanks all for checking it out 🙂

It seems that there’s been some changes since this video was created that make it less than clear how to follow along. The few things I’ve noticed:

- Absolute World Position now provides three outputs. I’m assuming that it’s supposed to be XYZ now?
- TextureSkybox errors, saying that it’s trying to cast a float3 to a float2

Here’s my blueprint for reference

I had same problem but I found the difference between the video and my material  
He is using TextureSampleParameter"Cube"  
and I’m using TextureSampleParameter"2D"

So if you use TextureSampleParameter"Cube" and plug into “XYZ”  
I think the Error can be solved

(but if I do this, I can’t use HDR image… can I use HDR instead of Cube Texture?)

Set a texture sample and then a texture object and set the sampler of this texture object to linear color.  
Something like this:
