Well, now that I''m on my way to getting a 3D engine working, I had a couple of questions . How would you suggest I do a sky? Any good tools for warping a texture to make it display correctly if you use a sphere, or do I not need to? If I draw an object without rotating anything, can I be sure that it will always face the viewport? (I think this is true, but I haven''t had much time to test it) Thanks in advance, if it matters any I''m using OpenGL. Null and Void

Hi,

Solarbeam ... you don''t need to make a "giant box" =) you simply turn off your zbuffer, render the box, turn it back on and draw everything else. So even if the box is 1x1x1 in size it will still "look" behind everything else.
