Creating a SkyBox

If you're looking to generate the textures you would use on your skybox, I would recommend checking out terragen.

Here's a good tutorial on using terragen to generate the skybox textures you would use in your scene.

Terragen skybox tutorial

Hope this helps!

thanks yeah thats exactly what i mean

Hi,

Skyboxes, like so much else in 3d rendering, look best when an artist makes them. However, for us programmers there are programs that can generate nice skies, water and terrain for backdrops ...namely terragen.

You should be able to get a nice enough looking skybox to suit your terrain using terragen and there are a multitude of tutorials out there on using it if you [google].

But in my experience you won't get a skybox that works perfectly unless you are an artist or get an artist to do it [grin].

All the best,
