Found some Free Skyboxes

It seems to me that people are always looking for good skyboxes, I did a google search and found these free skybox websites:

also, does anyone have a good terragen skybox tutorial, all the ones i've found don't work...

Thanks for sharing the URL. Use the [a] tag instead of [link]:
(a url) cick me (/a), where () should be [].

sweet! that alusion site has some great ones!

for a pretty good skybox tutorial, check out the castle demo by mark sibly (mak) found in the 'samples' under blitz3d. that works great for me.

There is a great program named SkyPanorama by Frecle.

i get a 404 on the first site

Surely not. This thread is barely two years old.

As Mortiis says SkyPanorama is a great program.
I've adapted Mark's skybox code to load the output from SkyPanorama.
Please note that LoadAnimTexture needs the clamp_u and clanp_v flags setting otherwise the 'join' line shows.

sorry i didn't look at the date

I don't see why you should apologise for resurrecting a thread that's still relevant. Mortiis and I are still interested, I'm sure many more are too.

The reason I say this is that I just got 'noob-slapped' for my first(!) post on another forum by self-appointed invigilators, for asking the wrong question.
Which is why I gladly flee back here, where the community is friendly and helpful.
