Edges of maps and sky boxes

(MadAxeMan) #1

I want to be able to create a map where there is a large mountain in the center and the landscape at the edges of the map disappear off into an Alpine mountain scene.

I have followed some tuts on creating a skybox where you can stand in the center and look around a landscape - but they assume that your map is based on buildings. Most of the skies in ET seem to assume you will ring your map with steep sides.

So I guess I’m asking what is my best option to try and create a seamless edge to my map? Pointers to any examples would be great.

You could try Downloading one of the skyboxes from Kos.

Cheers, I don’t have a problem actually creating skyboxes from Terragen, but the problem is that adding a terrain is pretty difficult to get looking good. Ideally I’d like not to have to have a “ridge” surrounding the map… …but I’m not sure if that is possible.

I wondered if anyone had any examples/tutorials about the best procedure.
