[BUG-226636] EEP Skybox Textures

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

I would like to be able to add a texture map (or maps) to be rendered as a skybox with eep/windlight procedural sky rendered over the top.

This could be accomplished with 2 textures divided into 2x2 tiles providing a total of 8 tiles (at 512px each max) - 6 for the skybox, 1 for the sun and 1 for the moon.

This could be presented as an alternate use for the existing 2 textures assigned for sun and moon with minimal changes to EEP.

Could be literally a single check box

[x] Sun moon textures are a skybox tile set.

Example texture maps attached (the hot pink bits would be alpha as with current sun/moon images)

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

Pros :

• A user can create a full scenic skybox.

• Industry standard way of creating an environment background.

• Could also be used to hint/replace the default reflection cube map (negating the need to put up 6 projected light sources with a 1024 texture on each - yes people do this)

• Procedural clouds and sun (etc) drawn over the top would add dynamic richness.

• Allows for complex backgrounds to be displayed without the need for geometry

• Uses the current texture space provided for by EEP.

  Cons :

• A user can not have a 1024px image for both the sun & moon (which is excessive for most use cases anyway .. but will be what people use).
