I would like to set the 'world' shader to a gradient, which should be one colour at the nadir, another colour at the zenith, and other colours in between, using a ColorRamp node.

There is an answer here, but it's for an older version of Blender and doesn't seem to behave quite as described in 2.8. I do get a gradient, but no matter how much I fiddle with it, I can't seem to get it to cover the whole range of the ColorRamp.

There are also various answers covering how to get a gradient across the window, but that's not what I want. I'm aiming for more of a sky dome sort of effect.

This is my current set-up, which isn't quite working - it seems to be correct in the upper half of the sky, but the lower half is a uniform yellow-green. enter image description here

  • $\begingroup$ @RayMairlot my question is literally what the title says: how do you achieve a sky gradient in Blender 2.8? If there is something you feel is missing, which would make it more specific in a way you would find more satisfying while also accurately representing my question, then by all means please go ahead and hit the edit button, that's what it's for. $\endgroup$

I solved this for myself after a bit more fiddling around. I'm not quite sure what I was doing wrong, but I figured I'd post this for others, because it's somewhat simpler than the setup in the linked question.

    $\begingroup$ Recommend try the new sky texture (added to 2.90) for a better result: wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.90/… $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @brockmann thanks - I'll use it for sure if I need a realistic sky. In this case I was trying to achieve a specific non-natural look, so I needed the extra control of a ColorRamp $\endgroup$
