Skies are an important aspect of halo. If your sky is bad, the feel for the map is ruined.
I created this thread for you to show what skies you ahve been working on. I recently got into making skies. If only I had a keygen... Follow the rules and such. (You're probably thinking, "oh what a noob, he just wants attention" well, maybe you are right, but i like skies.) |

No, this is a good thread, imo. I want to know how to make custom lightmaps in max, so I can make a sky that blends with the terrain. So far, I've only made a simple sphere with a 'stars' shader on it, for a generic multipurpose sky tag. Maybe someone will come along with some clever creation and pointers...

I have some cool galaxy pics that I'm going to put in a sky. |

I made a few skies a while back, here's one of them.
 It's the inside of an igloo! Don't have it anymore though. Am working on a desert sky too, pictures eventually. Edited by corndogman939 on Oct 13, 2008 at 03:20 PM |

Very interesting corndogman....that is one big igloo!
also...my first sky. http://www.xfire.com/video/32968/ Yes, the stars are bleh, I know, please ignore them. What do you think of the galaxy theme? I'll figure out a way to get a better alpha channel, that has color. |

It is fairly accurate, maniac...
It certainly wouldn't look bad in the map at all. |

but weren't you broadcasting (either here and/or on xfire) and (while you were showing several ripped content pieces from H3 on xfire) the image named: lolloooksdeesmallvv9.jpg and I think (but not entirely sure) you said it was ripped...?

Never said it was ripped. Halo 3 doesn't use HDR images for sky maps.
