Hi,

Has anyone been able to get Additive Blending working in Sky Effects?

I have this material:  
const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({  
color: 0x666666,  
blending: THREE.AdditiveBlending  
});

This works fine in the main scene, but in the sky scene it’s showing up as opaque.

That is weird the only other way I think we could add some sort of blending to our sky scene is adjusting the material opacity although not ideal but its something I guess
