Milky Way Skybox for Unity

A skybox of the Milky Way for Unity.

This package contains the amazing Milky Way panorama by "ESO/S. Brunier" as skybox for Unity.



The Milky Way as Skybox in Unity.

The credit for the "The Milky Way panorama" goes to the European Southern Observatory / Serge Brunier (ESO/S. Brunier). The images are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

The package contains three different texture quality levels. However, all three are relatively large. If you need a skybox with a smaller size, you can adjust the import settings of the textures. Pay attention to the fact that the textures differ not only with regard to the import settings: they are different textures (Tiff vs. JPG + different resolutions.)
