How to Create Beautiful Skies
Summary:
Step 1. Get a free sky image from Unsplash
Step 2. Plug the image into both the Base color and the Emission of the Principled BSDF
Step 3. copy the rotation of the image plane to the camera (it's better to use the copy rotation constraint IMO)
Step 4. Match the horizon line in the image to the horizon in your 3D scene
Step 5. Use a sky texture (Nishita) for your environment
Step 5. Turn off shadow visibility for the plane so it doesn't cast a massive shadow over your scene
Step 6. Make sure the lighting in you scene roughly matches the lighting direction of the cloud image (or flip the cloud image horizontally to match your scene lights better)
