User Created Skybox w Live Enscape Sky

Enscape skyboxes have background image that interacts with live Enscape sky.

Customer requests ability to create / add custom skyboxes which also interact with live Enscape sky.

Perhaps user created PNG skybox image with transparent area for sky that allows live Wnscape sky to display?

Do I get this request right? It is not about the actual sky, but rather about the horizon that should be customizable?

Hey Joachim - Sorry if I was not clear. Request is to be able to add custom skybox that interacts w live Enscape sky. Imagine custom image, but the sky has been removed so the Enscape sky, clouds, sun, etc are visible. This happens with the Enscape built-in sky boxes, but not with customer sky boxes. I tried creating a custom skybox w transparent background for sky - didn’t work. Does that help?

Not entirely, no.
So from what you explained it sounds to me like you don’t want to have a custom sky (as you tried to use a transparent one), but only about the horizon. Is that right?

Correct. Imagine the customer has a proposed building so they sent up a drone 500 feet in the air to take a spherical photo now they want to use this spherical image but they want the Enscape sky to appear so that the clouds change in the sun moves across the horizon. This presently doesn’t happen with an existing custom skybox. But with the Enscape Sky boxes, you’ll notice that the surrounding geography is an image while the sky moves and updates. Does this make any sense? The only way I can imagine how this would work is the customer would have a spherical image that is a PNG file with the transparent background for everything above the horizon.
