# Developing the Render Queue

## Understanding the Render Queue

In COZY, the sky resides in the render queue from 2900-2999.&#x20;

2900 - Fog begins rendering. It will render over all shaders rendered with a lower render queue but will not render over anything with a higher render queue. For strategies for integrating a transparent material (or any material with a render queue of 2901 or higher, see the [integrations](../integrations "mention") section.

2901 - COZY sky background is rendered.

2902 - 2949 - Reserved as available space for materials rendered after the sky but before the clouds. If you want to place space objects in your scene for example, they should be placed in the render queue.

2950 - COZY's clouds are rendered.

2951 - 2999 - Reserved for materials rendered after the clouds but still placed in the skybox. Mountains and other distant objects belong in this queue.
