| Hi, has anyone got any free space boxes? |
| ||
| check this one out, best i could find: http://www.alusion-fr.com/an1ffa3.htm |
| ||
| yeah saw that - pretty naff... |
| ||
| I made a few for the phrogram site, here:- http://phrogram.com/ in downloads, free images & sounds, 3d model files...Hope you find em useful!! |

| Psionic, AWESOME! 2 things. 1. How did you go about creating these so that the textures match up over the 'seams'? 2. What graphic package did you use to create the nice nebula/plasma effect? Many thanks |
| ||
| Thanks, I made them in Cinema 4D using the noise shaders to create the nebulas on the inside of a large sphere, I used similar techniques to this sky tut but with purples/blues etc http://www.psionic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/c4dtuts/c4dsky.html I also created a camera in the centre of the scene, with the FOV set to 90 degrees and the render size a square aspect (512x512) then rendered, rotated the cam 90 degrees, rendered etc etc for all 6 sides..manually ;-)) |

| how would you make something like this but a sphere? |
| ||
| Check out the earth and space in this demo - cool! http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=66405 IPete2. |

| @Psionic: thanks! now i dont have to keep using the cruddy ones i have been! @Pete Carter: you mean a space sphere? you would have to make a sphere with all its faces pointing inward and texture it with the stars image, personally i dont find it usful due to the pinching at the top and bottom. also i think theres a space sphere in Psionic's link. JS |

| Psionic not so fast! The seams are visible :-( I've tried setting the TextureFilter to 1+16+32 and it looks a little better but still some the seams don't match accurately enough for them to be 'invisible'. Any ideas? |
| ||
| Haven't tried using the textures, but you do get visible seams on skyboxes if you make the box too small. Also, making a small skybox then scaling it up doesn't help - you need to create the box larger in the first place; i.e. 30x30 minimum. This obviously won't help if its the textures that are 'faulty'. Just saying it might not be that. :) |
| ||
| I've tried a different spacebox mesh, one that I know is OK and still the seems are visible so it would appear to be the textures... |

| played about with galaxy type sphere thingys a while ago... abit dodgy galaxy thingys if they are of any use |
