Static Properties

PropertyDescription
TimeSpecifies when the skybox first appears. You can adjust this by setting the value manually or by dragging the clip’s start point in the timeline.
DurationThis defines how long the skybox is visible. Tip: You can also adjust the timing by dragging the skybox clip directly in the timeline.
Skybox Mask TypeYou can choose from three dissolve edge styles: sphere, plane, and box. Each mask type offers unique shapes and effects depending on how you animate its values:
1) Sphere: Adjust the scale to create a portal-like "in" or "out" effect.
2) Plane: Animate the rotation and Y position to dissolve the skybox linearly.
3) Box: Modify rotation and position to achieve dynamic effects, such as square or diamond-shaped dissolves.
Skybox TextureSelect the panoramic image used for the skybox. (.png format)
Tip: try Skybox AI if you want unique skyboxes ;)
Dissolve TextureThe texture pattern of the dissolve effect along the edges. Use this to add variation or stylization to how the shape dissolves.
Dissolve WidthThe width of the gradient color along the edges.
Dissolve Tile SizeAdjusts the scale of the noise pattern used on the dissolve edges. Smaller values result in a larger, smoother pattern with less repetition, while larger values increase detail and texture by repeating the pattern more frequently.
Dissolve ColorThe gradient color along the edges.

Known Issues
