Am facing a serious issue in rendering skybox on android devices. I’ve have no issue with the PC build of the same scene. But when I switched the platform to android, these weird bands and that box-border-weird-line (whatever) started to show on screen. Dunno what to do. Am I doing anything wrong with android-platform settings or something like that. Please help me.

  • Skybox is attached as MainCamera ->Add Components → Skybox (this issue existed when I used RenderSettings->Skybox )

  • Camera rendering path : vertex Lit ( no change while using Forward rendering)

  • HDR effect “ON” (same with HDR off :cry: )

Please help me,
And thanks for reading.

Hi everyone,

Eventually I myself found a solution for this. :smiley:

  1. For each “textures” of the required Skybox (You could find it under Standard Assets->Skyboxes->Textures) ; Tick the “Override for Android” option. (Also it’s better to switch the Skybox material to “Mobile/Skybox” as it will enhance the rendering performance on mobile devices)

  2. Add a new Camera to the scene and attach a new Skybox Component from “Add Componen->Rendering->Skybox” instead of using “Render Settings->Skybox”. Then apply the following settings to the newly added camera.

2.1. Clear Flags = Skybox

2.2. Culling Mask = Nothing

2.3. Projection = Orthographic

2.4. Depth = -1 (Base Depth, If the Main Camera Depth is -1, Change it to 0)

2.5. Rendering path = Vertex Lit

2.6. HDR = ON (To cull the bands)

And you’re done! I solved my issue by doing the above tweak. Enjoy!

Cheers

I also have this issue, but only on Samsung Galaxy tab 3 (7" version). On Samgung Galaxy Tab 2 the skybox seems normal.

This issue seems to be active according to the the Issue Tracker: Unity Issue Tracker - Skybox shows graphical artifacts on Samsung Galaxy Tab 3

You can use builtin skybox instead of attaching component to main camera.

That can be founded in Edit → Render Settings → Skybox material. Works perfectly on all my android devices.

Probably you have forget to remove old skybox from Main Camera when trying to use this solution.

Edit → Render Settings → Skybox

This will set the same skybox for all scenes.
