Skybox Texture Set Downloads

Post by Creavion »

http://www.redsorceress.com/skybox.html

found.. some seconds ago. Although some of those skyboxes are already used in Hazel Skybox texture packages for ut2004 (http://www.hazelwhorley.com/textures.html) .. at least it seems so... there are also some new sets.

found .. also a maybe interesting Neverwinter Nights 2 Community Skybox pack

but the content is in a HAK file, in order to open this file, you need an extractor tool (for which I already googled) like this:

How to create a skybox/cube map:

There are several software applications listed helping you to create your own skybox (Max, Maya, Photoshop...).

Unreal/UT is awesome because it always has animated backdrops, not just a blurred static cube/cylinder/spheremap. Not mentioning the fact that cubemaps tend to be overused, and most of them look somewhat the same. Well the pro side is that it's the cheapest solution.

Lazy mapper :roll: Couldn't agree more.

As for actual skyboxes, some of them are pretty good. You can still make them dynamic though. :tongue:

When I first started out in mapping, a friend provided me with some nice nebulae textures. I've extensively used them on many maps. Here they are:

I'm making my own with Terragen. The final result in-game is really nice.

Thanks Crev for the links. :)

although made for Counterstrike Source, the textures can be used for any other game (I think^^). The *vtf texture files can be opened with photoshop for example

The skybox from DM-KaZeMat (from the Russian Bonus Pack) is one that always comes to mind, when anyone talks about skyboxes. If you haven't seen it, you should.

It's the pic in the top left-hand corner of the screenie. :D

I found this huge thing yesterday by mere chance (actually wanted to dl a q3 map). Use a download manager otherwise you could have some problems.

Holy Shit!!! :shock: Great pack (400Mb of skyboxes).

However, around 20% of them aren't that good (look too comical or too "ancient 3D").
