Sorry wrong terminology.... WE all called it a "skybox" back then (what 2003/2004?). Yeah place the ground model at O elevation and then place the dome over it but lower it until like 1/5 or 1/4 is under the surface. That should get rid of that star band at the bottom edge of the dome and match the sky up with the horizon...

Apologies for not beign more clear earlier. Good luck!

Don't worry, I didn't know about that since I am a n00b...

BTW, I have a crazy idea for a "The Truman Show"-ish campaign...

Lets get one thing straight... I'm Crazy !  You're a friggen LOON!   

(what are you thinking? Starships falling from the sky? This aint NBSG!!!)

My original idea is a battle both in the ground and the sky. Support and cover transports carrying marines and destroy the hostile warships attacking them. This mission is preceed by another one in the planet's orbit...

I have planned to insert this stuff in STHCRS Part 2.

I've used terragen ages ago when I was modding Serious Sam.  Don't remember much about it though.

If this helps or not...

.X format terrain program. Free. I suggest using milkshake to convert to .cob.

MILKSHAKE?

[Getter Robo G]

Yes. Miulkshake 3d... It was the best $25.00 I ever spent and was sorely responsible for hundreds of Fs2 conversions I've done (but not fininshed).

I think 3d explorer converts X files

stumbled across this... looks simple but of course to me that means complex... l8tr!

3D Explorer converts .X files. I think there's a program that can convert .X to .LWO as well, not that it helps most people

I use Vue D'Esprit 4 for landscapes, it's much like Terragen, but can also burn off a seperate bump and colour map as well as the mesh. The only down side is that it doesn't optimise the mesh at all in large flat areas etc, so you have to do that yourself.

Doesn't Lithium Unwrapper also convert .X files?
