How to make skybox in Unity 5.0
I am trying to make my zombie game. Now I need grey sky and in Unity 5.0 there isn't any default skyboxes (only 1). What is easiest way to make my own skybox from downloaded image ? Thanks!

You just create a new material and set it's shader property to "Skybox" and choose the type you want.
Then you can simply add the textures to it and apply it either to a "Skybox" component on an object(which you can find under "Component" - "Rendering" - "Skybox").
Or you can add it to the scene itself by going to ("Window" - "Lighting") and set the material under the "Skybox" property there!
I have downloaded image,what shader property should I use. Because it's simple .jpg sky picture
You can't just download one image, a Skybox is a cuboid that consist of 6 faces that needs to be applied to the shader.
You can use one image but then you have to map it out and apply it through code, which rarely makes sense to do if you can otherwise just cut it pre runtime and add each image to the right face.
