Blurb Variance Skybox Collection

Detailed description

This is a small collection (3) of skyboxes i've been working on for a while. I thought I'd go ahead and put them out here, seeing as how there's all these other people making skyboxes. I dont know what made this rush of people do this, but I hope you take the time to look at these. The Divine skybox is a sort of test of concept, as is the Wrath skybox. The Barren skybox was previously posted onto quad under another name. I decided to redo the camera position, and I deleted that node for some reason. Anyways, because I cannot map very well, I do skyboxes... Hope you enjoy these ones. Please comment, as i like comments more than ratings!
The .zip is too big to upload to Quadropolis so it's hosted at mediafire.

sorry, maybe im wrong now, but isnt it better 2 place skyboxes at the content "MODs"? if u would say this is a map, then its getting 0 points from gameplay

"Map
A map for Cube, Sauerbraten, or a mod"
That's what's int eh create content menu.

so its actualy a mod (cause it doesnt got any lightning, textures, cubes, playerstarts, pickups)?

Kretren | 2009-07-14 20:36

Suicizer it's LIGHTING. LIGHTING! Not lightning. Lol

I love these. Barren is really high quality and looks natural. The color distortion doesn't occur on it, or any of these (well.. the others yes but only slightly).

Wrath looks cool but its applications may be limited because it has no landscape; only sky. Then again that could be a good thing.

Destiny is interesting and I've not seen a skybox like it before. /spinsky would look cool with it.

Barren is pretty much my favorite one of the three. The clouds look cool on it but not 100% genuine.

Maybe can you cross over into sci-fi themed skyboxes? I could really use some of those :)

5/5

So how do you suggest i fix my "node problem" ? Most of my other skyboxes were under the Map category, because it says a "mod"...

SheeEttin | 2009-07-15 17:07

A mod of the game, as in BF, etc. This should be under "mod".

EDIT: Looks like it's the other way around now. Skyboxes, textures, etc. now go under "content", while source mods go under mods.

Good job! it's really nice!
=)

They look really nice! It's a shame that they aren't all 2048 x 2048. My favorite is Divine.

This is beside the point, any mapper making a map with any skybox is going to find that the skybox will be resized/resampled by the project before being included. No internet-distributed project can justify a 2048^2 png that weighs in at over a megabyte, especially for something as superfluous as a skybox; which nobody is really paying attention to while they're playing. Blood Frontier included these skyboxes and they were converted to 512^2 jpg's in the process.

People need to stop complaining about the resolution and be happy with what they're given (especially seeing as the original terragen free version has massive dimension limitations). If you get your map in any of the games, it's not going to matter much at all because the resolution is no longer your choice, but ours.

Theso | 2009-07-16 23:37

I wasn't complaining, but I guess you're right.

EnzoLouis | 2009-07-20 00:27

I love 'em each (wrath is my fav though).

MisanthropX | 2009-07-23 21:58
