I need help converting this 2D sky shader to 3D - glsl

Question

I found this shader function on github and managed to get it working in GameMaker Studio 2, my current programming suite of choice. However this is a 2D effect that doesn't take into account the camera up vector, nor fov. Is there anyway that can be added into this? I'm only intermediate skill level when it comes to shaders so I'm not sure exactly what route to take, or whether it would even be considered worth it at this point, or if I should start with a different example.

// the sphere is centered at the origin.
// No intersection when result.x > result.y
float a = dot(rd, rd);
float b = 2.0 * dot(rd, r0);
float c = dot(r0, r0) - (sr * sr);
float d = (b*b) - 4.0*a*c;
if (d < 0.0) return vec2(1e5,-1e5);

Answer 1

However this is a 2D effect that doesn't take into account the camera up vector, nor fov.
If you want to draw a sky in 3D, then you have to draw the on the back plane of the normalized device space. The normalized device space is is a cube with the left, bottom near of (-1, -1, -1) and the right, top, f ar of (1, 1, 1).
The back plane is the quad with:
bottom left: -1, -1, 1
bottom right: 1, -1, 1
top right: -1, -1, 1
top left: -1, -1, 1
Render this quad. Note, the vertex coordinates have not to be transformed by any matrix, because the are normalized device space coordinates. But you have to transform the ray which is used for the sky (the direction which is passed to atmosphere).
This ray has to be a direction in world space, from the camera position to the the sky. By the vertex coordinate of the quad you can get a ray in normalized device space. You have tor transform this ray to world space. The inverse projection matrix (MATRIX_PROJECTION) transforms from normalized devices space to view space and the inverse view matrix (MATRIX_VIEW) transforms form view space to world space. Use this matrices in the vertex shader:
attribute vec3 in_Position;
varying vec3 v_world_ray;
void main()
{
gl_Position = vec4(inPos, 1.0);
vec3 proj_ray = vec3(inverse(gm_Matrices[MATRIX_PROJECTION]) * vec4(inPos.xyz, 1.0));
v_world_ray = vec3(inverse(gm_Matrices[MATRIX_VIEW]) * vec4(proj_ray.xyz, 0.0));
}
In the fragment shader you have to rotate the ray by 90° around the x axis, but that is just caused by the way the ray is interpreted by function atmosphere:
varying vec3 v_world_ray;
// [...]
void main() {
vec3 world_ray = vec3(v_world_ray.x, v_world_ray.z, -v_world_ray.y);
vec3 color = atmosphere(
normalize( world_ray.xyz ), // normalized ray direction
vec3(0,6372e3,0), // ray origin
u_sunPosition, // position of the sun
22.0, // intensity of the sun
6371e3, // radius of the planet in meters
6471e3, // radius of the atmosphere in meters
vec3(5.5e-6, 13.0e-6, 22.4e-6), // Rayleigh scattering coefficient
21e-6, // Mie scattering coefficient
8e3, // Rayleigh scale height
1.2e3, // Mie scale height
0.758 // Mie preferred scattering direction
);
// Apply exposure.
color = ACESFilm( color );
fragColor = vec4(color.rgb, 1.0);
}
