I'm about to try something - but in order if it is do-able at all I've got to figure out something first:
do skyboxes for FS_Open always have to spherical or semi-spherical? or can they be cubic as well?
if yes - does someone has cubic-skybox model and can go messing around?
-
Cubic skyboxes are all ok for fs2_open. If I remember good, there was some cubic ones in TBP.
-
they can be pretzel shaped if you want them to be.
-
Just make sure you can't actually see the box edges - as is the case in one of the UT demo maps...
-
im mostly familiar with cubic skyboxes, they are easy to make and you can use the same model for each one thing, saving conversion time. but i can see other shapes of skyboxes making more efficient use of texture space. i actually wrote a tutorial for this but im not sure whatever become of it.
