Exclamation  No Skybox Pictures?

Hello, I've been looking for a skybox jpg picture so I can change it into a dds file. I know how to do it, but I can't find a proper jpg file. I can only find images that contain a full sky. Nothing cut up into sqaure sections, like someone took a panoramo picture of the sky.

Help!

RE: No Skybox Pictures?

You would have to take the panorama into a 3D program and take 6 renders (like a cube) from the center. There are probably other ways and specially made programs, but this is what I would do.

Thanks for the answer. I found some .dds files in other custom stories I have installed. I will use them and give credit.

Beware of using other people's skyboxes. Ask the creator of the story if you're allowed to use them. Maybe he made them himself and doesn't want them to be used in other stories.

The one I'm using I have seen in a few custom stories. I don't think I would be able to get in contact with the creator of the custom story, but I'll try.
