Removing Skybox

[chocoanzak]

I am trying to override the default setup in OGRE to be able to place customised content on the RenderWindow object. I am using iOS and trying to place an object on the UIWindow but I have found that I can not see anything I place because the skybox is being placed over the top of it. I have tried turning it off and setting the default viewport not to render skyboxes but it is still sitting in-front of the content.

Is it possible to set a transparent background and transparent skybox so that content behind can be viewed?

Hey chocoanzak,

setSkyDome works fine for me:

Code: Select all

void CApplication::setEffectSkyOn(bool bEnable)
{
	m_bEffectSkyOn = bEnable;
	float fCurvature = 14.0f;
	float fTiling = 2.0f;
	float fDistance = 100.0f;
	mSceneMgr->setSkyDome(bEnable, "Environment/SunilSky", fCurvature, fTiling, fDistance,
		true,
		Ogre::Quaternion::IDENTITY,
		24, 24);
}

Maybe you are setting the 6th param drawFirst=false? That would give you problems. Or if your Distance is to small.

Good Luck!
