How to use the Sky block in Flock XR

To use the Sky block in Flock XR, place it inside an Event block (such as a Start block), then set its colour or material to control the appearance of the sky in your 3D world.

The Sky block changes the background and atmosphere of your scene, helping you create different moods or times of day.

Steps

Add a Start block (Events) to your code area
Drag the Sky block (Scene) inside the Start block
Choose a colour
Press Play to see the sky update in your world

Important notes

The Sky block must be placed inside an Event block.

If the Sky block is not inside an Event block, it will not run and the sky will not change.
