• A bindable node !
• For creating permanent floating backgrounds
• Objects appear to float infornt of this
• Texture mapping the background would need spherical distortion of textures
• Good for starry backgrounds
• Can combine skyColor, groundColor and textures if textures have transparency value
• Could use above fact to do dark (textured) trees against sky
• Always check there is one more groundColor thn groundAngle
• Same applies to skyColor and skyAngle
