Does anyone know where I can get free skyboxes?????

[ChrisV]

I make them myself. Maybe I should make a bunch of them and add to the store.

[cassius]

That would be very usefull and not just for me.

Yes, it would.
I've already started on them. Will make a variety of skies (sunrises, daytime, nighttime, stormy, cartoony, etc...).

If I may put in a request, really gloomy and smoggy dark sky-something that belongs in a post apocalyptic environment.

[Benton]

Sure, no problem. I'll have a go at making such a sky.

Yes, I'm going to make a few free ones, and maybe also do a few skypacks for a small price.

K guys, here's the first FREE skybox I've just finished creating.
You may use it for free in your games, but I'd appreciate a credit (my full name is Chris Van Wijmeersch) in your game. Thanks.
And here are a few screens of the skybox ingame. It's a sunny skybox with cumulus clouds. Hope you like it.







Cheers.

Nice of you. Thanks

[Aggror]

very nice. To spread them more you can upload them to the asset store.

[cassius]

Good idea, Aggror. Just wondering where I should put it. In 'Materials', or 'Models'. Also, in the 'Models' section, there's no section for skyboxes. Maybe I should put it in 'Nature' then? Or, is it possible to make new sections?

Next skybox will follow soon.

[ChrisV]

Sorry for the double post, but just want to let you all know that I've just done another skybox. This one is more cloudy  than the previous one (no sun). A variety of moods is possible with this one, by adjusting the settings of your ambient/directionnal lights and fog. Could be used for apocalyptic/dessert moods, or also normal or overcast skies. Both skyboxes are now available for download in the 'Models' (Nature) section in the Asset Store.   

Here's how the skybox can look with a few tweaks to the ambient light and atmosphere settings.





Cheers.

Really good. What tools do you use for this...? Photoshop?

[cassius]

Making a skybox using Terragen

[Benton]

Terragen is not free for commercial use...

[DaDonik]

I would recommend to use Vue d'Esprit. http://www.e-onsoftw..._esprit/?page=0
There are versions which are affordable (same price as LE) and you can make amazing skyboxes with it.

I will make a skybox package sometime next week, when i have the time =)

That's true. But not to expensive either. $99 USD
