# Redshift Environment Nodes

The nodes in this group can be used to create environment effects, such as the creation of a physical sky or the use of textures, which are then used as the background or panorama of your scene.\
Environments can be used globally within the [Redshift Render Settings](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/VPRSRENDERER-REDSHIFT_RENDERER_TAB_GLOBALS.html.md). As an alternative to using these nodes, the [RS Sun & Sky Group](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/ORSSKY.html.md) and the [Redshift Rnvironment Object](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/ORSENVIRONMENT.html.md) are also available for the display and lighting simulation of a physical sky, for example.
