This article is meant to explain the steps required to get skybox and cine objects to work properly in-game. These objects can be used to create much more unique and dynamic looking maps and allows many more opportunities to explore. First though, a brief summary of what these objects are:

Cine Objects - Ever wonder how EA has all these unique objects in their cinematic scenes? They're actually all in the game and they can be used to decorate your map with some truly unique objects. These can range from units with unique animations all the way to cool looking particle system objects.

Skyboxes - If you ever changed the pitch angle on your camera so it's view is more horizontal, you'll notice that there is a black sky. Skyboxes are dome-shaped objects that are placed around the edges of the map to create realistic looking skies for your map. They can be used for both cinematic scenes and skirmish battles, and have many different types of sky txtures.

What you will need for this article:

Worldbuilder - provided by EA

NOTE: In order to benefit and understand this article, you must know how to create your own mod and have the game successfully run it. Also, general knowledge of Worldbuilder and how to create scripts is also necessary for this to work properly. Please refer to other articles if you do not yet understand these things.
