Environment Browser

Overview

The Omniverse Environment Browser replaces and improves upon the Omniverse Sky Browser. Boasting one-click environment swaps, the environment browsers allows you to quickly change the lighting in your scene using procedurally generated dynamic skies or HDRI based skydomes. Also included is the ability to adjust the environment using geo-location, Time of Day and/or creation of ground planes.
