: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....
