Sky boxes
Author
What''s the best way to make a skybox? I tried using the same procedure used in the "Water" sample in the DX8 SDK, but it looks too much like the inside of a cube. Thanks in advance!

Skybox really means inside a cube, if u dont like skybox, u must read about "SkyDome", which is inside a half-sphere.

My game is more of a space game, so a half-sphere won''t work. How does one implement a full sphere-mapped environment?

There''s nothing wrong with skyboxes to implement what ''seems'' like the inside of a sphere.

I''ve got a question. How do you make textures for skybox? I use Bryce 4.0 with panorama-rendering, but i can''t create top and bottom textures. What tools should I use?
