sky_boatload _v1

A glorious early-morning sky.

A pair of beautiful sky textures. Don't they make you just wanna roll over and go back to sleep? But you have to get up - you have work!

sky_boatload_02 has an implied sun direction, whereas sky_boatload_01 is more ambiguous.
pl_boatload uses sky_boatload_01 with an env_sun for finer control over the sun angle.
Although, I somehow managed to get the painted sun surprisingly close to pl_boatload's actual sun angle!

These are really pleasant on the eyes and provide some much-needed variety in daytime skies.
