Okay i have now been looking and found out that you can get progs like terragen or bryce then use sky paint to make cool sky box textures. So once again i need sum1's help. Could any1 with any skill in these progs plz make a sky box using the link above as ref's. Cheers.

Um.......... Sound's good I guess........ There is a tut on the godfather site or whatever about the sky box and all.

Yeah ov tried the tutorial and stuff for terra gen but im having no luck in making anthing worth puttin in a map. So if any1 could plz have a stab at the sky texture using the ref pics to get a basic idea i would really apprciate it if some one could have a stabas my attempts were useless.
