'Scuse me while I kiss the Skybox! If I could, I would. It's just that darn pretty.
The developers over at Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising have given the game an entire facelift graphically with a new technique they call 'Skybox.' Skybox dramatically lights clouds, water, sky and the enviroment around your character.
With the new Skybox the sky will no longer stand still, but will move along with your character. In other words when you go up a mountain you will get closer, or down in a valley you will feel farther away. Also the position of the sun will change with the time of day. With Skybox the camera will move with you and the sky is locked to your camera, hense the name skybox.
Skybox has many features which include:
fully dynamic clouds that use volumetric lighting
cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and storm clouds
control of everything from the color to density when the sunlight passes through
dynamic bloom and lighting on the sun and moon
ability to change the sun and moons position in the sky
