Skybox
Skyboxes are a wrapper around your entire scene that shows what the world looks like beyond your geometry.

Details
Skyboxes are rendered around the whole scene in order to give the impression of complex scenery at the horizon. Internally skyboxes are rendered after all opaque objects; and the mesh used to render them is either a box with six textures, or a tessellated sphere.
To implement a Skybox create a skybox material. Then add it to the scene by using the Window > Rendering > Lighting Settings menu item and specifying your skybox material as the Skybox on the Scene tab.
Adding the Skybox Component to a Camera is useful if you want to override the default Skybox. E.g. You might have a split screen game using two Cameras, and want the Second camera to use a different Skybox. To add a Skybox Component to a Camera, click to highlight the Camera and go to Component->Rendering->Skybox.

Hints
- If you have a Skybox assigned to a Camera, make sure to set the Camera’s Clear mode to Skybox.
- It’s a good idea to match your Fog color to the color of the skybox. Fog color can be set in the Lighting window.
