thought you guys might enjoy this.  Created using spacescape and then modifying each of the sides in gimp.

Spacescape is so great. Out if curiosity, how did you employ gimp? Did you use colorise effects or go in manually?

[ShadowWolf_IH]

i did the base neb in spacescape, then in gimp I added a top to them, the bright "baby stars" in the nebula, some dark nebs for shading, and the starfield.

I don't like the billboard stars in scape, i get much better control of them in gimp, ie the number of stars, the size of them, saturation.  Same with the dark layers, they come out much better in gimp, more random, and with a greater degree of control. Random but with a greater degree of control, that statement sounds like a contradiction...but you know what i mean.

a few other modifications, a starfield in gimp, once again i like the amount of control that gimp offers me....and it is done.

As far as coloring goes...the base nebs from scape remain intact.  The only coloring i did in gimp was to the layers i created, and even then, the bright stars layer was colored by the neb base layer gotten from scape.

Looks nice

you can't have this skybox, as it has already been spoken for.  In fact it was made specifically for someone else.  I am only allowed to release a screenshot of it.  However, I can teach you how.  I'll probably do a tut in a few weeks, then more people can make cool stuff.  Or after I make six or seven more of these, i can probably make you one, just let me know the color scheme you want.

Here's another:

ok, but i'll need the proper order form, and a picture ID on delivery.  You may substitute beer (our favorite form of currency) for the $12.99 price of business, plus $5.00 for shipping and handling...or....you could trade me a scud missile launcher....or I have a few more on the waiting list, but i'll add yours to it. 

There is no charge, but my favorite beer (Shock Top Lemon Shandy) is always a welcome donation.

You are on the list.
