Cube Mapping for Skybox issues

BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/Cube Mapping for Skybox issues

RexRhino(Posted 2008) [#1]
I am creating a skybox using the following process:

1. I create a space-scape (stars, nebulae, etc.), using lots and lots of sprites.

2. I use the example function from the minib3d demo to create a cube map texture.

3. I texture a sphere with the cubemap texture as a skybox.

4. I free all those sprites I no longer need.

The only trouble is, that the sides of the skybox don't line up. I tried setting the camera field of view to 90, or leaving it the default - I setting the viewport to match texture size.

Am I missing something on how cube mapping works? I built something similiar in B3D, except using saveimage. Is there any way to do that in minib3d?
