sorry Blattsalat... not sure what you're asking.
the pics displayed here represent one single render from each of the 5 different skycubes.
the rar file (download) contains the 5 cubes which are already formatted for gamestudio, and a readme file that gives detailed instruction on how to implement them.
hope this kinda answers your question... if not, just let me know.

Did you use Terragen to make any of these?

What do you use for your terrain? Bryce?
Thanks! I have bought some Skys the Limit cubes before. I like them.
These skycubes are looking very nice. I might use them in my own project.

Thanks a lot! As I'm no fan of unrealistic skies, I probably won't use them, but they'll definitely give me a good start at making my own skycubes

Very much appreciated pocorev and such great sky's too.
Will be happy to use some.
Cheers.
Very nice and professional work. I will for sure come back to your website and buy some of them when I start my next project.

glad ya like them, and hope they'll come in handy.
while i use (and enjoy) Terragen quite a bit, these particular cubes were done in Mojoworld.
i haven't used Bryce, although i've seen some very nice work come from that program.

Thank you for this contribution, Pocorev.
I must admit that a good looking skycube always comes handy.
You're a great guy!

Such an contribution is always appreciated! Thanks man!
(I do think though, that 1Kb/s download speed is a little to low)
Cheers

1kbs? i was getting 30 on my 256kbs connection, maybe the servers just a lil overloaded

Re: Free 5 SkyCube Pack - 05/30/05 12:38
hi guys;
not sure about the slow downloads... must be a server issue. i routinely get 100k speeds off it. must be having problems.
just keep trying, i'm sure they'll sort it out eventually.

Re: Free 5 SkyCube Pack - 05/31/05 06:56
i tried again many times, yesterday and today, too . with the dsl connection here, but i cant manage to download them. there is no progress. maybe someone who already got them can host them elsewhere?
i love those and definately like to have them:)

Re: Free 5 SkyCube Pack - 05/31/05 07:58
Same problem here...
Such a nice contribution and IMPOSSIBLE to download it.
I offer to host it if pocorev is kind enough to send me an email with the zip file...

thank you.

Re: Free 5 SkyCube Pack - 05/31/05 13:17
hi guys-
i just talked with my webhost service department and have been informed that there is indeed a problem with the server. they have promised to have it resolved today sometime... we'll see
in the meantime, if anyone who already has the file would like to host it - it would be a big help to these folks who are patiently trying to get their hands on it.
perhaps Grimber or someone may want to host it for the community
the file is a tad over 10 megs and a little heavy for my email server to handle, but i'll still try to send it over to 'immersionfx'. i've had very little success emailing files this large, but it's worth a shot.
sorry for the hassle guys
edit : according to my email client, the file just made it's way to immersionfx who i want to thank for his willingness to help

Hi pocorev,
I just wanted to look at your website but it is very slow. I am looking for sky cubes for space shooter games (stars, planets, galaxies a.s.o.).

Thanks,
Your skycubes are really nice, looks like you added some sci-fi look to realistic terrains (like on other planets).
I just learned how to make skycubes in my 3D animation program for 3DGS a couple days ago but mine are not that realistic (bright colors and cartoony).

Hey Pocorev,
Would you mind if I mirrored these cubes at Game Beep? It would be an honor!
