HOW TO ADD A REGION SKY
========================================
Adding a custom SKY OBJECT adds a sphere around your region and applies a 360 Degree texture to it, providing an environment in every direction.
The texture library has a SKY filter to help you find a texture that meets your needs.

UPLOAD NEW TEXTURES - VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS
==========================================
The video below shows how to upload textures and use the texture library in the building process. To upload a new sky, you would choose the SKY category during the upload process.
Please make sure your sky images are 360 Panoramic Views and Seamless for best results. Most of the time we recommend SMALLER images for upload. For a detailed sky, however, we recommend larger pixel sizes (i.e. 1024x1024).
As of 4/5/23, this website is a great resource.

You can enter a description and choose a filter category and it creates a skybox within minutes. Download it and save the texture to your system. See video below about uploading to 3DWebworldz ('Add New Texture') and then assign it to your sky prim.
===========================
FAQ: Can I use any texture or image on the sky? Or must it be from the SKY filter of the texture library?
Answer: You CAN use any texture, but not recommended.
The sky filtered textures are 360 Seamless textures to create a realistic environment. However, keep in mind that anyone can upload images to the texture library. Therefore the quality of some will be better than others.
