PanoramaSkyMaterial
===================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A :ref:`Material<class_Material>` used with :ref:`Sky<class_Sky>` to draw a background texture.

Description
-----------

A resource referenced in a :ref:`Sky<class_Sky>` that is used to draw a background. The Panorama sky material functions similar to skyboxes in other engines, except it uses an equirectangular sky map instead of a cube map.

Using an HDR panorama is strongly recommended for accurate, high-quality reflections. Godot supports the Radiance HDR (``.hdr``) and OpenEXR (``.exr``) image formats for this purpose.

You can use `this tool <https://danilw.github.io/GLSL-howto/cubemap_to_panorama_js/cubemap_to_panorama.html>`_ to convert a cube map to an equirectangular sky map.
