:D
The only problem is ROBLOX screws up the decal edges, and I forgot how to fix that.
However, what do you think. :D
I made it using Terragen... but it IS custom, totally mine. |

The skybox is 480 by 480, however, I can go from 1 x 1 too almost 1000 or so (I think).
I can also render landscapes, almost anything using terragen. I don't think I could do a nebula (in a skybox). D:
If I can fix this resolution thing, you can request skyboxes, and I can _try_ to make them.
:D
I can do mountain's, lakes, hills, ect. However, the best thing is to use water as the bottom, and then a sky as.... the sky.... Otherwise, the whole thing looks kind of weird. (Random mountain to the left?)
D:
I can also do nighttime, ect. |

^ You paid $400 for that? D:
You could get so much for that!
Anyway, I'm uploading another one, this time on ROBLOX's resolution. I normally would consider uploading to the wiki, so I can just have high quality ones, but I don't think some people would be happy with me. :D
256 x 256 coming up. |

I got it done. It's a tiny bit fuzzy, but it's seamless.

As before, made by me. |

| and the fuzzy is why you buy the full version. Because of the limited detail you can put into the skies with the free version. |

| Plus the devs may have unlocked my user for creating fully detailed skyboxes. I have had a few of them contact me about them. and all of a sudden they are in extreme detail for a roblox decal. |

^ The fuzzy is ROBLOX's fault, not mine.
The limited deal renderes images big enough so they WON'T be fuzzy, however, ROBLOX cuts down on image size to reduce lag. |

@jegabert. Really? That's nice. D:
I wish I could do that, however, I don't own a fancy terragen, and however good I am at graphical design does not make a major difference when it comes to creating a skybox with a computer program that has limits on it.
However, terragen will fullfil my fuzzy needs until I need more, and am forced to write an article about skyboxes on the wiki so I can upload my pieces... |

However, if you keep ROBLOX's quality level of decals the same, my skyboxes look just as good as yours. :D
What do you render (the size) of yours in? Anyway..... I'm going to experiment some more and make some more nice looking ones. |

if you want I can render you up some stuff too. Because a wiki page ful of skybox pannels may be frowned upn :\ I am sure a few images on a wiki page wouldnt hurt though. :D
Also the paid for version allows trees. as seen in my "near perfect sky" (which is now perfect its just i dont update names often) |

| Admins don't like you using wiki images. The wiki servers are much weaker than the decal severs. |

Exactly. Don't put images that will be used in-game on the wiki. That'll slow it down.
You don't want the wiki to be extremly slow, do you? |

The admins do it all the time. Unfortunately, I can't. So I'm stuck uploading at 256 x 256, and I realize I can't upload to the wiki without experiencing a social assassination (if a ROBLOX social life counts).
I've uploaded another one, but have yet to compile it onto a skybox.
I'm thinking Terragen 2 sometime soon.... I've been fiddling with that too...
Maybe I can bribe admins with Robux to get mia skyboxes up....
Although, the last message I sent to Sorcus got me warned for profanity..... So.... |
