# PaintBound-V2.4 — Skies!
## ✨ New Features
- **Shader Skies** — Added a custom shader driven skybox.
- **Sky Kuwahara** — Added a kuwahara filter thats applied directly to the skybox.
- **Shader Clouds** — (Iris only) Added shader based volumetric clouds, inspired by the clouds in Escheridia by jrwilliamson
- **Whiteout Sky** — Added a "Whiteout Sky" setting that replaces the sky with a blank canvas. Useful for screenshots.
- **Outline Pencil Mode** — Saw a user doing that so thought I'd add it as a dedicated mode.
- **Lava "fog"** — Added a screen space overlay that shows up when you're in lava or powdered snow.
- **Star settings** — Added some star settings.
## 🔧 Improvements
- **Rain Transparency** — Rain opacity decreased to 50%.
- **Rain Fog** — Fog now increases just slightly in rain.
- **Bloom Performance** — Improved performance of soft bloom.
- **Hatching Performance** — Hatching angles are now pre-baked for better performance.
- **Sky Settings** — Moved sky settings into the Atmosphere & Water tab.
- **Cleanup** — Removed some unused textures.
## ⚠️ Known Issues
- Stars do not render in Painterly mode.
- Skybox Texture Outlines (sun/moon/stars) fail to render through ice and stained glass.
