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

Critics are not only welcome, but also desired.

right now, there are 81 views and no reply.

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_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?
