Is there a site that will let you download skyboxes or a link to skyboxes that someone is willing to share? I haven't seen what a skybox is capable of yet and would like to see if it is worth trying to make my own.

Q: Do you use Truespace to create skyboxes?

Thx

With skybox, you get this:



rather than just nebulas and planets.

Skyboxes can be made in TS...I made mine in 3d studio max. Who cares about collision detection errors on export. You're never going to hit the edge anyway

Mighty fine Zeppelins you got there. 

* Herra Tohtori imagines a Crimson Skies FS2_Open project...

Fine then, you can also do this:

Maybe there should be a thread like the weapons and models sections where people
can list/post skyboxes to share?

[esarai]

I'm all for that.... either a publicly available list of links to Skyboxes, or a skybox tutorial would be awesome.

[blowfish]

Maybe there should be a section at FSMods devoted to skyboxes...

[Bluepilot]

I agree with that,i d like a tutorial about how to make skybox with 3ds max/truespace would be awesome

i saw how it was done for blue planet (the green one) with pcs2 but how to make one like atmos one is the great question for me!

Isn't that the pics from the 158th project?

[Droid803]

Bottom one is.

Huh. Command is finally in-mission.

I must have those skyboxes.. I must! They are beautifull!


EDIT: Isn't that my Orion Mk2 in the first pic? Re-textured?

Looks like it. I think it's trying to be the EACa Auriga, but failing.

Cool. Good to see screenshot taken by me here I mean 158th one

F'course it's failing. It's like putting in a Rolls Royce to pose as a Dodge.

[Droid803]

I've changed the remapping since.
It no longer looks that much like the Auriga. No more EA Textures.

[ShadowGorrath]

The only reason mortals of HLP are seeing that screenshot, is because nearly everything in it has changed.

So what needs be done to get a skybox gallery/share going?

[blowfish]

So what needs be done to get a skybox gallery/share going?

1) A number of people with skyboxes they are willing to share

2) A place to put them

[TrashMan]

We have number 2, but number 1 is in poor supply.
