Skybox with subobjects, possible or not?
I had in mind to create a special skybox for a special mission for the Starfox mod.

Now this skybox would look much better with some flat, semi transparent objects in it.
 

Is this possible?

Yeah. You can have multiple planes/spheres/boxes in your box, but they will be part of a single subobject, incapable of moving or being destroyed.

Thanks for the help.

The subobjects are sunrays. 2d flat planes. But how can I make them transparent?

BTW you will sure be impressed by what I'm working on. :)

I got an idea...

How about leaving the regualr faces textured INVISIBLE but you texture the lines around them (like black or yellow or whatever?)

If this sounds stupid, I have no idea what I am talking about... This happens a lot. :P

I hope I got it right... Woudn't that cause very thin lines?

That's not the effect I'm aiming for.

use textures with alpha chanels, if you are lazy, just use -trans.
