Second release - 5 skies.

Here we go.

Click to enlarge the images, go to the bottom for downloads.

I would love to see any of the 'days' skies in Unreal or Quake, fits those games best I think, since I adjusted them for floater maps.

Same deal as before, only TGA. NO source specific shaders included.

(This doesen't look good inside Q3, much better in Source, has probably with the low color information to do, Q3 doesen't display that too good, looks like a 16bits texture.)

How to use them:

You need to write shaders for most modern games, for source you need to convert them to vmt and vmf files.

Shader to use in Q3 (basic).

textures/xxx/xxx


{


	qer_editorimage textures/xxx/xxx


	q3map_noFog


	q3map_globalTexture


	surfaceparm sky


	surfaceparm noimpact


	surfaceparm nolightmap


	skyparms textures/xxx/env/skyname - -


	nopicmip


}

Source (basic (needs to be applied to all six images))

"UnlitGeneric"


{


	"$baseTexture" "skybox/skyname"


	"$nofog" 1


	$ignorez 1


}

How to get them working in Doom 3

Quote from iceheart @ doom3world.org

They need some work to work in Doom 3 though (I just tried the violentdays one but I assume the other ones have the same naming/orientation).Original file name on left, D3 file name on right:

Code

violentdays_rt = violentdays_left


violentdays_ft = violentdays_forward


violentdays_lf = violentdays_right


violentdays_bk = violentdays_back


violentdays_dn = violentdays_down


violentdays_up = violentdays_up

In addition the up image must be rotated 90 degrees clockwise and the down image rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.The material shader I used:

Code

textures/skies/violentdays


{


	qer_editorimage	textures/skies/violentdays_back.tga


	noFragment


	noshadows


	nooverlays


	forceOpaque		// so transparent windows can draw on top of it


	{


		forceHighQuality		// new addition to make hires texture 


		nopicmip		// new addition to make hires texture 


		blend add		// so transparent windows can draw on top of it


		cameraCubeMap	env/violentdays


		texgen	skybox


		texgen	wobblesky .0 .0 .0


	}


}

Then it works!

* MIRAMAR UPDATED* When I awoke high noon this day, I noted that I uploaded and released the wrong version, that is now fixed, the sun looked odd on the older one...

Quote from Pericolos0

the miramar one is fukin awesome

And now its better cause its the real version not the temp.

Quote from Bic-B@ll

they do look very cool although they seem to be in a perspective where you're above the clouds

Yea but, miramar and grimm can be used pretty normal, espec Miramar looks very good, its like the airport map in Raven Shield, for those that played that (awesome) game.

Quote from Zacker

Those skies are pretty well made! Made in which program?

Core in Terragen, the rest in Photoshop, using photos of skies that I've taken and also found on the web.

Quote from TomWithTheWeather

You should probably also mention that these would work fairly kickass in a UT map. :wink:

I did mention Unreal, and that covers UT I think these skies (except grimm) would fit Unreal just perfect, its that kinda style, light and color-ish.

Quote from mike-0

boner.how do i get these to work?

I take you mean Source, else I think you would have known. You need to convert them to vtf and then write a shader for each of the six images. I don't release source specific textures and shaders, I don't like that since I release my textures on many sites for different games, TGA is universal.

Added a fifth.

For all our Unreal needs!

Can a moderator change the name, to maybe just skies, if I make more? Actually I tried changin' my topic self, that worked, now I can change the number when I add a new
