lol, i`ve encountered the same problem and now i was fiddling with it. i had modified the skybox.shader.xml and commented the line

Code:

//gl_FragColor.rgb = vec3( 0, 0, 0 ); // Black sky

and uncomented the line

Code:

gl_FragColor.rgb = albedo;

(lines 65 and 66)
plus i have modified the lighting.shader.xml and did the same to the lines 29 and 30.

now i was searching a way to turn the spotlight into an ambient light to test if this works. any idea on how to achieve this?

As Volker mentions, our skybox is currently using a cube map. This allows to modify the texture coordinates so that the box always appears to be far away, even if you stand directly in front of it. However, it would also be possible to use a huge box with standard texturing instead (makes texture creation a bit easier).

BTW, a nice tool for generating dds cube maps is ATI CubeMapGen. It can take a vertical cross texture as input and generate a dds cube map from it.

I've noticed that the skybox in the Chicago demo comes out black, despite there being a texture mapped to it. I tried applying a sky texture to it but it still came out black. Is there a trick to making the sky visible? Mark

Thanks Paul! Well spotted. I've got sky now SpOOky wrote: now i was searching a way to turn the spotlight into an ambient light to test if this works. any idea on how to achieve this? No idea I'm afraid. I have messed with some of the light values. My sky came up as soon as I made your changes. I will have a look tomorrow (but you will probably get there first!) Mark

actually it doesnt require that. i forgot to copy the skybox.scene.xml to my content folder. thanks for the horde log marciano! now i was rushing to post the results. im happy i could help and in other news, ladies and gents, we have sky!

Looking nice, but you should adjust the position and color of the light source so that it is more like the sun in your skybox

Hi. I would like to change example Chicago replacing the sunset with a blu sunny sky. How can I do that?

Just replace the skybox texture file and adjust the material to the new file name

I already tried so, but the sky comes out black. Should I perhaps use images with a fixed dimension? But in this case... which dimension? And where can I find a suitable one?

The skybox dds file is a cube map,... is your's one too?

As Volker mentions, our skybox is currently using a cube map. This allows to modify the texture coordinates so that the box always appears to be far away, even if you stand directly in front of it. However, it would also be possible to use a huge box with standard texturing instead (makes texture creation a bit easier). BTW, a nice tool for generating dds cube maps is ATI CubeMapGen. It can take a vertical cross texture as input and generate a dds cube map from it.

Thank you. As you suggested, I easily solved using CubeMapGen

Hi, i am a freshman, so i want to ask you how to use CubeMapGen to convert a picture(jpg, bmp, or other formats) into cube map. since CubeMapGen now has another name---the modified CubeMapGen, i don't know what the input is ?
