Build that with localized gravities just for the sake of it on d3/q4 =)

"besides, technically it's in new jersey"

"not a single apartment that's remotely livable!"

It's the Velcor skybox downloaded from Wadfather. I resized it to 1024x1024. :icon26:

Isn't that a 512 texture, why would you size it up to 1024?
I can see why people sized skies down _from_ 1024 til 512, but why would someone do the opposite?

It was an experiment. You can sew all 3 perspectives of Relativity together to form one cohesive 3d space. Which I wouldn't have known without building it for myself.

Also, do you know escher left a lot of very deliberate clues in Relativity so that it would be easily constructed?

# Yea that is probably true.
# No, I did not know that...

The first map based around Relativity I'm aware of was the one of the standard DM maps which shipped with Sin. It had the full multidirectional gravity thing, and had teleports which moved you between the different gravity zones. It was insane and took ages to learn because it was so confusing - worth the effort though.

serious sam had a couple like that too (dunno if they were user-created), bit confusing but a lot of fun.

No they were in the single player maps too. I remember running inside a sphere, picking up stuff. SS isn't my game though, i didn't even finish the SP (while i even finished Daikatana ).

New sky in the works, called Tempest.

That kicks much ass. Stormy skies are wonderful. Reminds me of this:

If you could make one like this, I'd probably have to excuse myself and go clean up:

Thanks pjw, Super Cell, the word I needed.
Anyway, since I'm not doing this the same way I did before, it's easier now, I'm sitting here writing a tutorial. It's really easy and quite fun. However, Terragen 2 will soon be out, and most of the things I do won't be needed any more since it features 'everything' when it comes to environment.

Awesome anvil cloud! I'm going to assume the 2nd pic isn't real though?

it is, some meteorological freak thing over ohio or wherever it was, was all over the internet when it happened.

excellent stuff :icon14: luc bianco is a terragen master though, so i won't expect to be churning out photoreal scenes straight away

Yes he is. However, I've never seen him do a realistic sky either, not a good one, they all look flat. I only need to master clouds and skies, not ground, I will never make a sky with ground in if its not for a specific project.

to do good skys, check 3d sky, and make it like, 512 layers, prepare to wait a while...those generically look better

pjw: Is that 2nd shot real?

As I wrote in my article about it, just adding more layers won't help, they are still, only more layers. You might have noted that there's like no one that uses many layers in clouds, not above 8 atleast. But its a discussion for another thread and another time

you need to do the lighting too, with the fog effect, i haven't done it in a while but you can do good clouds

That's one good looking sky :P

Yep. As voodoochopsticks said, it was a freak occurance, but the shot is indeed real/non-photoshopped.
