SkyBox mod requests

This Thread is dedicated only for the requesting of SkyBoxes by those who are not artistic or capable of creating skyboxes, and to those enterprising designers to look at this thread, and pick up one the popular ideas, and churn out something that we would all like to play with or play in.

Please, if you want to make a suggestions for official skyboxes to be released in the game, make them in the Suggestions thread.

This is also primarily for skyboxes which may have a copyright on the material, ie., Star Wars, Eve Online.

I won't be building a list of all non-official suggestions in this post, so please add any details to your post like links to images.

If you are looking at how to install a custom SkyBoxes into SpaceEngineers, please see the SESkyBoxTool thread.

 

My requests:

• Tatooine from orbit. Sample Image
• That's not a moon. Death Star at a distance.
• That's a Space Station. Death Star close up.
• Yavin and Yavin IV moon, from Star Wars RotJ scene in flypast. Samples; Image, Image.
• Tannhauser gate. "..attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate..."

 

Humbly requesting skybox versions of the Homeworld 2 backgrounds. There's a deviant art with all of them in one place but I've no idea how to make them into a skybox. Linking!

@dex
I've had the top left one done for quite a while from another request quite a while ago. You can still get it here if you want.

 

Ohhhh nice. I'll do that once I'm home! I'd like to see the others done too;my ultimate hope is that a sky box tool will add the ability to random select sky boxes each time you start a game. But I'm veering off topic.

Hey Ben, is there any way you can pm me? If it's a regular, repeatable method to make the sky boxes I'd be happy to learn how to myself.

 

Bumping this for people to notice... perhaps it should get a sticky too?

 

Hm, when i look on this Homeworld Images... I miss the top and bottom side and it didn't look like a spheremap.

 

Love your work Midspace, you are making SE better every update.

 

What about Skyland skybox?

 

I am not good at this, is it possible that someone can create a 'green screen' skybox for me? For some projects I am wanting to try out, I am really needing something like this.

 

I use a adobe PS plugin , inside paint.net , flexify2 by flaming pear
https://www.flamingpear.com/flexify.html

you can convert polar or panoramic or just about any format to about any other .


i dont have a place i can upload the resulting dds . lol

but all you do is set save type cross and save a dds 5 or what ever .

i'll do a you tube video when i get a min.

but here is png of it .

Could a kind soul do a Peragus II skybox for me? I tried last night but couldn't work it out. I also posted the request in the wrong thread then.

 

I was wondering if anyone was up for recreating a Freespace 2 Nebula like skybox. Specifically the reddish nebula.

 

Peragus and Tatooine would be great!

 

I understand CCP are ok with using skyboxes from EVE - I'd love the Amarrian space one please

 

is there a tutorial somewhere on how to make these? i been looking but so far people are a bit secrete about it. (guess they do not want others to become better then them?)

 

Star Citizen's Arena Commander Map Skybox:

If you can run the game, you could probably get enough material to make an extremely detailed skybox. Probably more than most other skyboxes.

 

Can someone find a skybox with 2 or multiple stars/suns?

Something like this:




Or even with more distance between the suns.
Could be awesome to see multiple light sources in the map!

 

Could someone please make on that is a navigational grid with coordinates on it?

 

Something like this would be cool to use. I tired myself but with no luck, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but regardless I thought I would share one I found.

 

is still open? I have thrown myself in this but well i plainly totally 'miauw* at this. I have a PSD file with what i want so I could upload that if someone please please can make it work for me its is "very simple" for someone who knows how to work this.

 

I'd love to have a skybox of Skyrim or Oblivion's night sky.

yeah i been loong into all of this applying to the cube map but it requires me messing around in photoshop trial and error to get it working properly in game. i got as far as even decided to go where i want it, but once again it takes time as i have to take care of family as well and it is summer holiday. kiddo wants to play outside a lot now

 

All that nice Screenshots brings nothing, it only could show what you want but you can't use it as Source for a CubeMap, because on a CubeMap nothing is cut off, all is shown what you can see when you look from one Position to any direction.

And to make a really good one that looks like that Black Hole from Wizlawz Posting, you need to be a really really good Artist and have lot's of Time.

When I read here something about messing around with photoshop I must laughing. :rof:

 

really ? you must be shitt awesome with photoshop then? why not make some for the people asking here? i have my own skybox and am just having a hard time to get the corners showing perfect is all.

they can post how much pictures they want without comments they just mean in my eyes to give someone some ideas what could be possible. I think your comment is very very rude.

 

Read my complete Post. I didn't say I am really good with Photoshop, but I know really well how much work it is to make such a high quality SkyBox some Users want her. And some of that was no Photoshop Image, it is Renderimage from a 3D Program and you need that if you want to do such a high Quality SkyBox.

 

Would animated skyboxes be possible as it is now?
