Space skybox textures?

Ceeb · Post by **Ceeb** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:28 pm

I remember a thread, I think by Enjay, with some high-res, high-quality spacey skybox textures. I've searched the forum for awhile and can't find anything, though. Does anyone have any idea what I'm looking for here?

goto Enviorment maps and preview, there you can find a big big bunch of awesome hires skyboxes.

tho, wadfather seems to be down now, lets hope it will be back soon.

Do you want ones completely in space, or on the surface of a moon/planet?

[edit] Also, for a another really nice selection of skyboxes (which require a little reconfiguration to work in GZdoom) go here

http://kell.quaddicted.com/skyboxes.html

I have actually converted them all to work in GZdoom but the file is pretty big for me to upload. [/edit]

Thanks to the wonder that is Google, I can advise that The Wadfather has moved, and is now at:

http://wadfather.mr-gibs.com/

Well, I can't access any resources on that site, try going into Environment Maps and clicking on Thumbnails. It won't load.

I had a friend of mine try, and he got the same problem.

Hmm ... I suspect that their recent move from GameSpy has not gone smoothly. For me, the site isn't loading properly under a fully patched IE7, or under the admittedly older Firefox 2.08, or Opera 9.63. Eventually, they inform me that they can't connect to the MySQL server.

Alternatively, the host may be having a bad day.

WADFather has been a bit "iffy" recently. It has been down more often than it has been up for some weeks now.

I deviced however several space textures in Quake 2, if you need to rip something.

I actually settled on the galaxy sky from TNT. Looks sweet in a skybox.

However, does anybody have any skyscraper/city background textures? I mean buildings with a translucent background, so I can use them in a skybox. (No "walls" of cities, like the city scape in Duke 3D.)

What do you mean? Individual sprites of buildings to place in a skybox? Or a flat texture of buildings?

You mean like these?

Thiefy looking

Pixelated City

Pixelated City2

Made before this skyline was quite as famous/infamous as it is now.

I think they all wrap reasonably well. I've used them all in skyboxes myself.

Pixelated City 2 looks nice. Would fit nicely in Rise of the Robots or some such.

Hmm, thanks Enjay. Who did those if I may ask? I like to give credit for everything I use.
