I've seen the wonderful work that Rolfy has done on his sky spheres but I was wondering if anyone has a basic sky sphere that just consist of a texture. I have some great textures that require a sphere and not a box. What I'm needing is a basic template. I tried reworking galaxy seed but keep coming up with a partial sky with a bright white cloud texture obscuring most of it. Any help would be cool.
Thanks,

Simply replace the box mesh of any default sky and rename with a sphere, if your texture is panoramic or spherical mapping you can adjust the uv's to suit in any modeling app. Use the default sky shader. scale of the mesh shouldn't make any difference. Make sure to save the .x as text file so you can name the texture reference in this.
The Galaxy seed sky has a few transparent layers and horizon masking, it uses a scrolling texture shader which wont suit a static single texture sky.

Thanks Rolfy! I'll give that a go...didn't think it would be that simple. I over complicate things in my head all the time.


EDIT: Perfect!
