Cube Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm currently making some landscapes in 3D Studio Max (see them at djcube.deviantart.com). However, the biggest problem is the sky. Does anyone know where to get some good sky textures from? Preferably for different climates (desert, tropical island, normal, snowy, etc). comments on the renders themselves would be nice, too. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Check out http://www.mayang.com. This is the best texture resource on the net with very high res images. There are a load of sky images here. You'll need to crop an area of the desired image you want then tile it in photoshop. Make a massive sphere around your scene, and invert the normals on it so the polys are then facing inwards. Apply your texture to that and tile it within max and use the UVW Map to set the texture to where you want. If you're having trouble getting your clouds to the right colour then edit the colour ranges aswell in photoshop. I think that should help you.
