How to create skybox *image*?

#1

I am seeing a number of tutorials on how to construct a skybox, which is great.

Can someone explain how to create the SKY used in a sky box? I have a photoshop and ArtRage, so manipulating the squares, or even doing my own painted sky is doable.

I get that these aren’t simply 6 pictures; they need to be distorted in a way so that when you render, it looks like 360˚ space.

There are loads of sky box images out there, but I need a certain sky of my own creation.

Can I do this and can someone explain how to do it?

many thanks!

That’s the beauty of skyboxes: you don’t need to have a distorted image, like you would when using a sphere map.
Just make the joined edges seamless, that’s all.
