Gotta try this. Some of them looks really creative like that pink space one.

[Walter confetti]

These skies looks wonderful, especially the mountainous one.

[Reisal]

Consider uploading this to Realm667 and /idgames/ archive.

[Death Egg]

Very nice. Are they public domain by chance?

Yeah sure

Saved to Skyboxes folder! Will use some of this for my next mappack. I really needs wide skies.

[Eradrop]

I have made a new skybox... What do you guys thinking?

[Jaws In Space]

That is a freaking cool skybox.

[SFoZ911]

Awesome skybox! I really like the factory-style background with the green theme.

You sure didn't use any external resources, like photos from online? Licensing can be a bitch.

[Eradrop]

I thought he asked if the skybox can be uses by the community, so I said yeah sure. About the photos, my father is a photographer so I took the picture sources from his view packs, (The factory skybox for example I took a picture from a factory not far from my house), but some of them are from online either so I dont know about licensing...

cartoon Style, I guess this is not appropriate for Doom...

[Dragonfly]

That could definitely work in doom, given the right mod. Fistful of Doom comes to mind. :)

Great skies btw, keep up the great work!

[Voros]

The red city sky is excellent! Also, is sky9 based purely from your father's photos? It's quite interesting.

[Halfblind]

The pink space skybox looks great. Is is possible that you can turn it into a normal skybox with 6 sides including an up and down and with a resolution of 128X128 minimum per side?

[Eradrop]

Its possible, let me try.

[Eradrop]

Have you ever played a map which plays under the ground... maybe you did but I never...

Well... A SkyBox that makes you feel under the ground is always fresh thing

[Dragonfly]

I'd love to see this one in game. From the image above I can imagine it being pretty impressive! :D

[Ghetto_booty]

I'm gonna use the green factory sky box for a Dark Seed themed wad

Enjoy

I think that it is really cool that you make 256X1024 style skyboxes. These should work very well for people making vanilla style maps with the intent of using a non repeating skybox texture. I think that someone should make an archive with just these kind of skyboxes.

Is this fixed or the smoke, thunders, fires are actually moving?

[Eradrop]

No, it's frozen

[Angry Saint]

That's pity. A landscape of smoke, fires and thunders would be incredible. But I think you cannot make it with vanilla doom.

[Eradrop]

Why not? all the colors are included in Doom's palette

[Dragonfly]

@Eradrop, what I think @Angry Saint means is an ANIMATED sky, where the thunder strikes in intervals, and the fire & smoke is moving.

[Eradrop]

Oh I get it, well, didnt thought about it that far, but I can tell you soon im gonna release a small skybox pack with animated skies just like he meant...

 

[Bauul]

Animated skyboxes (beyond just the usual Quake style rolling clouds, i.e. Sky2) never get old.

 

I wonder how long it'll be until AAA engines start supporting the 360 degree videos used in VR experiences?  Or you could probably fake it with just a room playing a variety of videos at different angles and the SkyViewpoint.

 

Say, GZDoom doesn't support in-engine video, does it... :D

[Empyre]

You could make an animated texture with a lot of frames, but that could cause problems as if you were using that many different textures, because you actually are.
