Skyboxes by me...

Perhaps making 3d buildings and then taking screenshots could help make a skybox.

I beleive that that is the way the pro's do it. Take Q2's skies for example, which are quite easy to import into GZDoom now

Yah! I've imported some of the Q2 skyboxes into Zdoom. I posted a pic of the space one in the screenshots thread.

As for making 3D buildings and screenshots - well, 3D modelling is not a strong point of mine. I've tried a variety of programs and my results are always lacking. Even the simple blocks required to make city buildings would take far more time and effort than the poor result I would ultimately produce would be worth.

How about some Hellish skyboxes? That would rule.

Note to self: Get SkyPaint again, for adding postwork to skyboxes

Whoa, now that's a nice app!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to paste existing art into the skybox though.

I'm attempting to make a hellish skybox, using one of those evil-face-on-wall-thingy textures in Doom 2. I can paste the thing in front view, but when I rotate the views, it's already distorted. :/

yah, that's the only problem with this program... it tends to distort your images as you rotate around... I recommend working in a much higher resolution than your final, so that the distortions won't be so noticeable.
