Skyboxes

Has anyone ever noticed that when moving the camera around in-game, the skybox judders a bit? And that in the editor, this does not happen; the sky moves smoothly as ever.

Does anyone know why and/or how to make the skybox move as smoothly in-game?

In my experience, the less strain put on the cpu, the less "judder". I noticed that in a trigger-intensive map I was optimizing.

Yep, in my mod the sky skips quite a bit because of all the triggers running, but in my old Battle for Hoth map I never had the problem. My solution was to make the skybox a model of it's own, but that will not work for all types of maps.

In my stupidity can i ask what a skybox is?

I believe a skybox, is, well, the sky. In video games atleast.

It is a sky textured.....box, basically.

Cube exactly ;] Box can be misleading in computer games.

I have made my own skybox, and am testing it in a map with 0 triggers (except for a tiny initialisation trigger that sets up the sky). I'm kind of aiming for the style of a few UT maps with the massive planet beneath you, but it kinda loses the effect when it judders all over the place. What I just don't get is why it doesn't judder at all in the editor.

Yeah, my sky box was custom as well when it skipped like that. Did you test with a normal un-altered skybox? (My skybox was more of a skydome with particle emiters for clouds, two planets, and junk, so that might be causing the skipping in my case)

Because triggers aren't running and units aren't doing anything in the editor.

Actually, I just discovered the way to solve the problem - Camera Smoothing Factor. Don't know how or why, but a value of about 2 removes the judder, makes everything nice and smooooth. But thanks all for your input!

Really? Wow. I must test this!! If it works I owe you big time.

EDIT: No effect, still skips no matter what I set smooth factor to.
