Hello Everyone,

 

You have been looking for animated Skybox = you got it.

 

 

 

I'm just polishing the skyboxes and uploading the whole pack for you

Wow this skybox looks really amazing and surreal. I can't wait to see the animated version in-game. Good job.

[Eradrop]

After a while, I finally got finished the small Animated skybox pack...

 

Clouds scrolling

 

 

Asteroaids falling

 

 

Lightnings strikes

 

 

Smoke from factory chimneys

 

How to use those skies properly with boom.

Two steps:

 

Step one:

Add those skies to your wad and use the ANIMDEFS lamp, and just like you make liquids, do it with the sky sprites.

 

Step two:

In your map make a demi sector and brush the "Lower", "Middle" and "Upper" with the sky texture and make the linedef tag 271.

 

 

Each sky has 64 sprites, you dont have to use all of them, but remmember, as more as you use sprites, the sky animation will be smoother

I finally got around to testing the animated skyboxes - HOLY SHIT THEY ARE AMAZING! I'm a bit upset that nobody else took the time to comment, because wow, these are amazing. I may be using these in a few of my maps very soon :P

 

[Eradrop]

It's really good to see other people using that, I dont really looking for comments, I'm just having fun making stuff for people in the community

[Jaska]

How cool these are! Very cool!! Thank you very much!

[Eradrop]

Here is a little sample of a new skybox pack I'm working on.

Keep the good work up.

[R1ck]

This is some cool stuff. Might use this in my personal mod. 

[Maisth]

Excellent Stuff man! Skybox always made the game feel different each time i see a new one!

These look incredible.

[Uni]

You should make more of these, they look awesome.

 

How long does it take you to make an average sky texture?

[CrazyDoomguy]

Can I add here my sky or better own thread? I make only on doom converted sky. That make for all readable

Edited August 6, 2017 by CrazyDoomguy

[Eradrop]

If you have a single sky, or small amout of skies, you can post here...

But if you got a large sky pack and you're planing of publishing more you better make your own thread for your stuff.

 

Uni: if it's a simple sky with clouds only it would take no longer than half an hour, but skies combined with mountains and source light would take hour, 2 hours...

Holy cow, you have a fantastic talent! I'm especially impressed with the underground one. Reminds me of the lush background one might see in one of the Donkey Kong Country games :)

@Eradrop's animated lightning sky works well on my brutalist concept

Edited August 30, 2017 by Remmirath

[Uni]

Oh wow! The lightning effect looks superb in general and the sky itself really fit the style and mood of the map. Together it looks great, well done!

[Eradrop]

Red Apocalypse?

 

Or Grey Apocalypse?

Any chance you can make some of these into "true" skyboxes - six-sided cubes? In this way they can be used in source ports that support such skyboxes (e.g., GZDooM), which eliminate the stretching and color-fading at the apex of the skies.

 

Very nice skies, by the way. Thanks for your efforts.

[Eradrop]

I can do some, no probs with that

[Jon]

Just to say I really appreciate you making classic skies since there's no shortage of sky boxes from other games and communities. That said no reason not to Sky box these too, but don't forget about the classicists :)

This would look even better if ZDoom's "lightning" effect via MAPINFO can be synced to the lightning strikes.

@Eradrop: Why not both apocalypse skies?

Of course Both !

Just wanna ask what is cooler...

[MDevlin]

I like the red one, but feel like the grey might be too grey. It seems like the standard Doom textures are mostly grey and brown, so a grey sky might not pop like the other skies do.

 

My personal favorites so far are the caveworld, and the asteroids falling. They're all amazing so far and I really look forward to seeing how people use them in maps!
