cloudy skydome for free

Hello,

here is a cloudy skydome I created. You can do with it whatever you want as long as you don't resell it .
Here is what it looks like:



and here is the skydome (in .tga format; 1024*512): http://www.novissimus.de/cloudy_panorama.tga

Is the skydome that bad, or don't you have any use for it? If it isn't good, please tell me what I could improve.

It looks quite beautiful... But the replys are always that worse
But i may use it in my game

Well this isn't bad !!
But mostly they make a skydome texture like this

Try asking Frank_G for more information.

But yours can work aswell I think, I never tried it that way

What you showed me are textures, that will be mapped on a cube. But my texture will be mapped on a sphere.

Skycubes are (as far as I know) only used for games. Skydomes are also used for 3D renderings.

If you do a sky cube correctly, it won't look like a cube, it will look as good as your map. Skydomes are fine too, but not quite as good. They're just easier to make...

A skycube is better? I didn't know that. Why?

If a cube is better...why are skycubes never used for 3D renderings? (Always spherical skies)

its great your sky but the texure is too big. it always says "memmory too big >60kb"
could you make the sky with max. 2048 pixels? i tryed to make it but i doesn't look the same.
sam

@Sam_Be I don't really understand what you mean . My sky is smaller than 2048 pixels (1024*512). Could you please further describe your problem? What did you do, etc...

@All Thank you for your kind words

Thanks Efrint, very useful.

Sam_Be, Dont you think its better to have a high resolution image you can easily scale down, than having to scale a low resolution image up?

hey, nice job on the dome
thanks for the contribution.

btw - what program are you using to make them?

Skycubes handle higher resolutions better (1024^2 per side is good).

As said earlier, skycubes do not look cubic at all. You cannot tell the difference between the two if they are done correctly.

i ment this:

and as i know the texture has the size of over 3000 pix.
sam

@Sam_Be now I understand your problem. You assigned the skydome to your level with a script but as a skycube. The file is not a "+6 file". You have to map it on a sphere and place that sphere around your main-character/scene/map/whatever (At least this is the way I would do it)

@pocorev I use a little bit c4d and a little bit photoshop.

@all Thanks again for your kind words

????
could you explain that to me?
ps i didn'd add any scripts to my level.
sam

ahhmmm....what did you do to assign it to your scene / level?

i added the model normaly to my level like any other model
sam

so you assigned the texture to a sphere and added this model to your scene?

Do you have icq? Then we could discuss this better.

ja habe icq hab dich geadded.
