If someone is interested how to realize a simple functional skydome in Archicad27 like this - tell me here.

Yes please! Can this be done for v24?

[Hmooslechner]

nor - not 24 because this needs the displayoption "physical based rendering" what's available from 27 on:

Thank you so much @Hmooslechner 😊.

I tested it in BimX- it can also do this.

Yesterday, i made a much simpler version of it within Archicad alone without the need of using Blender. You just make Your 360° foto with an Insta360 or similar device  - ( or even with an app on your mobilephone which sticks some photos together to such an image), give it in a library-directory for Archicad and add this directory in Archicad with the library-manager - to get access within Archicad and GDL.

One negative point: This version cant be displayed in Bimx-  unlike the solution with the use of Blender - which makes it possible.. But in Archicad- it workes quite well.

This new GDL uses the sphere-command twice - one sphere mapped with the mirrored picture, the other one slightly bigger with a fully transparent material. Then - the picture-sphere is subtracted from the transparent one and you end up with a transparent ball - just visible from the inside-direction. I cutted this sphere into an upper and lower part to be able to squeeze the two halfes independently in their hight - with editable hotspots - so the resulting object is a nes skydome - way more simple than this former version.

of course - its just a part of the solution for the whole problem - i didnt find a solution for "the wrong shadowing" within the dome itself - the part in the opposite of the sun is lighter than the part in the direction of the sun - it should be exactly the opposit. But its maybe useful for some of You anyway.
