Skybox with Gimp /solved\

[Khyrpa]

I'm not sure about paint.net, but for gimp, you can't simply download a jpg and convert it to a cubemap. A cubemap contains 6 different pictures, usually 6 jpgs, and you would have to put each one into your picture as a layer. Then you would have to (for gimp anyway) rename the layers to +x, -x, +y, -y, +z, and -z for it to be able to save as a cubemap. There's a template here for which x, y, and z goes where; http://www.waterpg.com/wordpress/wp-cont...folded.jpg

Once you rename the layers, simple save as dds; but when you do, the "Save:" part of the box will be available, and you select "Cubemap" to save as a cubemap. And done!

Thanks! After a hour or two of tweaking I ended up with a perfect skybox \o/
