What's up guys...it's been awhile. So yeah, I was messing around with this program and I found out you can make skyboxes with it. It made me think of Doom. If I still mapped, I would be all over this shit... so I made 2 doom skyboxes for the hell of it.

If you use AMD, you might want to apply these 2 fixes. "ATI/AMD: Transparent or invisible planets, no landscape " and "ATI/AMD: Crash on approaching to the black hole, neutron star or white dwarf, on using ship's hyperdrive, or when enabling the Oculus Rift mode or the Fish Eye mode " If you don't, you may crash the program or your computer if you are near a black hole.(to find a black hole press CTRL+G on galaxies and you will go to the center...where a black hole usually is)

Also use the mouse wheel to control how fast you move. So if you find a cool area for a skybox, go to the menu, then editor, then export skybox. I render my skyboxes at 5000 pixels...just keep in mind it will take a bit to render. Then, I scale them down to 1024 pixels. ...and that's pretty much all you need to know.

Here's the program, an old wad with the new skyboxes I made... and here's some screenshots.

EDIT: You can also go to planetary surfaces too. There's atmospheres, oceans, terrain, auroras...

And I thought this was another "Port zandronum to this engine herp".

Anyway, it's actually pretty neat for skies (the maps are cool, yo). I would use it honestly.

That's awesome, surely can't wait to see more dynamic skyboxes.

I accidentaly a skybox.

OpenGL is required as I was lazy to create software-friendly skybox.
