This was my first attempt and it is very very big (It was created for movie rendering). Help y'selves :)

Flipside :D

Oh no, it's not as big as I thought :) only 1024 x 1024 :D

I still think there will be something needed to blend the models into the background a bit, very dull 'real' ambient light or ambient fogging or something?

I might have to do it as DDS even Bright gives the BMP a case of the measles, too much fogging gradient, I'll try it on the JPG and see if the slightly lower quality image will make life easier :)

Flipside :D

Heres the DDS - http://www.aqsx85.dsl.pipex.com/images/Skydomex.dds

Wow! It's considerately smaller than the JPG!

Hmmm, it looks great, but it seems like it almost takes a little bit away from the models. I think the backgrounds might need a little more black... or maybe I'm just used to the way FS2 does it. :)

Phreak, what resolution image is that? Because I think if that was doubled it'd be perfect - right now the stars are still a bit blurry.

And what kind of mapping is it applying to the sphere?

1024*1024 is far too small for the size of the sphere it's being stretched over, I think - if you want to avoid the blurry stars.

Is there much of an effect on performance by increasing the size of the map? I mean you can guess where I'm going - if there's no performance hit then have the largest map possible for the best possible effect. Seems logical?

right now its at 1024x1024.  the next step up is 2048x2048 which is the upper limit for textures on most cards these days.  i may want to have the user model a low poly sphere or box or something and have them apply maps in truespace.  this way there wouldn't be much streching and stuff.  once again, im gonna need a model and textures.  just a note: the normals must be pointing inward for it to work ;)
