space skybox

i whas wondering if anyone had a dark space skybox for me or knows where to find 1

and yes i looked at the havana skybox but i need a T0TAL dark skybox so i mean with no sun but with space or something

help would be nice :smile:

Why do you need this? You can't just set up a 3d skybox with the black texture painted inside it?

yes i did that but i still had that sun from the hav sky so its not really helping

but thx for replying :smile:

By sun...you just mean the bright spot in the sky, right? Do you have an env_sun, or just a light_environment?

yes i mean the sun inside the sky(box)

i have a light_env ...

Wait wait...from the Havana sky? Why/where are you using that?

im using it cuz there is no darker sky

"i still had that sun from the hav sky"

Where are you using that sky?

a little bit outside my map as skybox

i would like to know how to make skybox textures, although it seems like it would be tough.

Um...wouldn't it just be an issue of making the textures correctly (as in, seamless) and naming them correctly?

What he said- replace your "skybox" textures with BLACK and it'll be totally dark!

DOH. I was messing around with this and while have black painted on the inside of a 3d skybox does work for most cases, there's one time it doesn't.

Water.

Firstly, I think when you're looking down in the water you can see the reflection of the skybox, instead of the black. Second, when looking up from underwater, you can definitely see the normal skybox instead of the black. Seems like a bug to me...using the normal skybox instead of the 3d skybox when underwater?

For now, let's just hope you won't be using too much water in space...

do you have and env_cubemap's in your map? Water as well at all
other things will reflect a default sky if there is no cube map
information.

Yes I do but I'll double-check to make sure I ran a build on them :wink:

edit: Ok, yes, the top of the water reflects the true black background but from below the water it still uses the skybox (and not the 3d skybox). Probably because this is diffraction instead of reflection, but this still isn't right. Definitely set up the cubemaps right, too (tied them to the water face, ran buildcubemaps).

woah woah woah, so is it possible to make your skybox black, and add lots of env_sun's in it? (im making a space map as well)

Why do you need this? You can't just set up a 3d skybox with the black texture painted inside it?

ok i just need to read
