Why does enabling post-processing make the Sky Shader appear as a lump?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm encountering an unexpected issue with my Sky Shader when post-processing is applied.

In Figure 1, the shader renders normally without any post-processing. However, when I enable post-processing using the base render pass (as seen in Figure 2), the shader becomes a lump.

Here are the images for reference:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

Sky Shader and Post-Processing Issue

Based on the images you've shared, it appears you're experiencing a common issue when using the Sky object with EffectComposer for post-processing in Three.js.

Potential Causes

When using the Sky object with post-processing, there are a few common issues that can cause the distortion you're seeing:

  1. Render Order: The Sky object might need special handling in the post-processing pipeline
  2. Depth Information: Post-processing might be affecting the depth information needed by the Sky shader
  3. Render Target Settings: The render targets used by EffectComposer might need specific configuration

Possible Solutions

Here are some approaches to resolve this issue:

  1. Separate Rendering Pass for Sky:
    Try rendering the sky separately and then compositing it with your scene:

    JAVASCRIPT
    // Render sky to a separate target renderer.setRenderTarget(skyRenderTarget); renderer.render(skyScene, camera); renderer.setRenderTarget(null); // Use the sky as a background in your post-processing chain // You might need a custom shader pass to composite them
  2. Adjust EffectComposer Setup:
    Make sure your EffectComposer is properly configured:

    JAVASCRIPT
    // Create a properly configured render target const renderTarget = new THREE.WebGLRenderTarget( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight, { minFilter: THREE.LinearFilter, magFilter: THREE.LinearFilter, format: THREE.RGBAFormat, stencilBuffer: false, depthBuffer: true } ); // Create composer with this target const composer = new EffectComposer(renderer, renderTarget);
  3. Check Sky Object Configuration:
    Ensure your Sky object is properly configured and added to the scene:

    JAVASCRIPT
    const sky = new Sky(); sky.scale.setScalar(450000); scene.add(sky); // Make sure to set sky properties correctly const uniforms = sky.material.uniforms; uniforms['turbidity'].value = 10; uniforms['rayleigh'].value = 2; uniforms['mieCoefficient'].value = 0.005; uniforms['mieDirectionalG'].value = 0.8;
  4. Render Order and Layers:
    Try adjusting the render order or using layers to control how the Sky is processed:

    JAVASCRIPT
    sky.renderOrder = -1; // Render before other objects // Or use layers to control rendering sky.layers.set(1); camera.layers.enable(1);

If you could share more details about your specific EffectComposer setup and Sky implementation, I might be able to provide more targeted advice for your particular case.
