Color gradient scene background

[Epihaius]

Got it working, it seems! Parenting the background model to an intermediate “pivot” node (to which a compass effect is applied to keep it at the position of the camera) gives me the intended behavior .

Parent your mesh (which should be a dome or uv sphere, a box will have some minor artifacts) to the camera, then do node.set_billboard_point_eye() to not inherit camera’s rotations

That didn’t seem to work; the result was the same as just parenting the mesh to the camera without any effects applied. But it’s OK, I seem to have gotten it to work. Thanks for trying to help!

This is not something I would use procedural geometry for, seems like a waste of time and lines of code.

The procedurally generated mesh in my code is as simple as it can get and it didn’t take me much time at all .

Color gradient may be achieved with either vertex colors or a gradient texture file. The latter is easier to edit

And the former can be edited fairly easily at runtime, if you know how .
