-===== SkyBox:Blank =====
+===== Blank =====
 A blank skybox is useful for rendering a scene background in a simple color without being affected by light or shadow.

 Fog computation instead will be applied.
-===== SkyBox:Procedural =====
+To set the intended color, simply set the Diffuse property.

+===== Procedural =====
 The basic TGorillaSkyBox component provides a fully configurable procedural rendering with clouds, stars, moon/sun and azimuth / inclination settings.

+===== CubeMap =====
+==== DesignTime ====
+Drag and drop the TGorillaSkyBox component onto your viewport and start by uploading
+the cubemap texture. This is done by loading all 6 faces of a box.
+When downloading a precomputed skybox texture set, you will get 6 textures, which can be associated the following way:
