    Hi all.
    What? All this talk of space and no fantasy is being tossed around? :thumb:

    Anyway with all these budding modders out there trying new things, creating new models and developing tools for our convenience, I was wondering if anyone would like to create a Warp-Themed skybox for me? As good as others are I'm looking for more of a chaotic view when building my ships to match!

    For those not quite-so-familiar with the Warhammer 40k Universe:
    - Warp Lexicanum

    Oh! and not to forget some picture references:
    - Warp Concept Art
    - 'Eye of Terror'
    - Space Hulk Judgement of Carrion
    - Warp Jump
    - Warp Exit


    Many thanks,
    _Happy Hunting!

    I wonder if animated skyboxes will actually work in the game. Since you can embed frames into dds files, you could theoretically create a fully animated hi-res warp... hmm.

    Try it, but i didn't think that it work. But it would be nice when, because you could animate the Stars too (flickering). ^^

    But a hi-res warp Animation would be also big in File Size... the normal SkyBox is already 32MB big. :eek

    Such a Animation is better made as a true Effect and not with a animated Texturewall.

    Sorry to be bumping an old thread by a week or so, but I was wondering if there was any updates regarding this?
    Would anyone be interested in creating such a Skybox or pointing me towards an existing package?

    I am actually working on this right now. If I can get something working I will be sure to let you know.

    edit: So far I am having no luck with this. I know where the background is but no matter how I edit it or replace the dds file it always renders as a grey background... Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
