StitcheS Posted May 1, 2002 Posted May 1, 2002 I like it! Very good job, Gizmo2k. I love it. Now you need a night time and a dawn/dusk one!

Gizmo2k Posted May 2, 2002 Author Posted May 2, 2002 Yep jafo thats me i had to add the 2k bit because the gizmo reg name had gone hehe StitcheS i'll try and add some dusk/night skyboxes as soon as i get chance glad you guys like it i think i might try a few hoth skyboxes as soon as the tat ones are done laters gizmo
DarthCobra Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 I would love to play with this skybox if u got it finished
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I'm making a Sarlacc pit map... Please let me know when you finish this! I've been looking for one. secretagent@attbi.com
Gizmo2k Posted May 13, 2002 Author Posted May 13, 2002 i'll get it packed in an hour or 2 i just got home from work so its dinner time first i'll make a new post as soon as ive uploaded it so you guys can see its ready btw i might be packaging a hoth skybox and maybe the same tat but a dawn setting i just have to kick up some shaders for them first.... laters gizmo
Kranckor Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I love it it looks terrific but you guys have over looked one detail, the clouds there shouldn't be any clouds since the only time moisture is present in Tatooine is the early mornings when Moisture vaporators suck it up there wouldn't be any clouds at all. That's the only thing I find wrong with your great Skybox.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 Good point. Heheh. Either way, I'll be waiting for you post, Gizmo.
Kranckor Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 Just throwing in my two cents, and Cmdr. Antilles what is this about a Sarlaac map? I thought you said you had no time for maps, oh nad can you send me anymore screen shots you may have I've seen the Skiff.
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 Truth is, I'd been taking a break from mapping. I just didn't feel like it. Lately, though, I've started on this map, and I'll be starting on some maps for my EF Mod (Colony7), so I WON'T have time to map for anything else. And, the Skiff is the only thing I really have finished right now. I the pit started, but right now, it's all caulk in JK2R, so it's not very impressive.
Gizmo2k Posted May 13, 2002 Author Posted May 13, 2002 Well blame the guys over at http://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/multimedia/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Images/Episode_1/Locations/Tatooine for the clouds i used that page for ref images i call it artistic licence myself hehe
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Hey, thanks for that link, man! I just found a bunch of great pics of the Sarlacc for my map!
Andy867 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Hey Gizmo2k, is there any way by chance you might be able to make a skybox for LivingDeadJedi to use for his Duel Of The Fates Map he is making, he says if someone would be as to kind enough to make one, he could make the hangar doors open to see the Planet of Naboo...
Gizmo2k Posted May 14, 2002 Author Posted May 14, 2002 So you'ed need some rolling hills and maybe a river or 2? i'll take a look at my ep1 dvd and see what i can do for ya it might take a few days though as im pretty busy atm but i'll see what i can cook up
Kranckor Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Hey Giz I was wondering what programs do you use to make your Skyboxes?
FEXX Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 I have not created a skybox yet myself for a JK2 MP map, but the software to create the image could be one of the below: 3ds max Lightwave Terragen Bryce Vue d'Esprit World Construction Set SOFTIMAGE|XSI Maya Houdini
Gizmo2k Posted May 14, 2002 Author Posted May 14, 2002 I used terragen for these 2 ( http://www.planetterragen.btinternet.co.uk )but i also use bryce5 ( http://www.corel.de/products/bryce5.html ) and Vue d'Esprit( http://www.e-onsoftware.com/ ) for others ive worked on in the past i think terragen has the best lighting out of the 3 and the shareware has some great features and is very easy to use vue has better clouds but it crashes a lot of me and bryce is good for more alien looking skyboxes but i dont really care much for the lighting laters gizmo
Kranckor Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Thanks Giz, I think I'll try experimenting with this stuff I've seen the last two before but I've only heard of the first.
