    Anyone knows where I can find 2d skyboxes or any tool to create them?

    To be specific I am looking for a "sky city" location, so coulds at the bottom and clear sky on top :)

    Thanks.

    You can use 3d apps such as 3ds max or maya to do that easily. There are scripts around to automate rendering the 6 sides of the skybox and stuff.

    I second Mino! Here a link on "how to split" a ur scene using 3dsmax: http://www.torquepowered.com/community/blogs/view/8072

    If u prefer maya Hessy made a quite cool tuto on it: http://www.thomashess.net/exchange/tuto ... _skies.pdf
