Creating custom sky background

[Rob]

I tried creating a custom background texture for my Sky

So ive converted a sky texture to a simular texture as the sky_base_background.dds

but whenever I select the file in Unigine it says something along the lines of non power of 2

 

So what kind of cubemap is needed for Unigine, I couldnt find any info on this

A tutorial or something would be quite usefull

Sky uses a cube map for the background. But you cannot draw a cubemap-sized picture in Photoshop and just set it as it is! It will still be a simple 2D texture.

 

 

Use ImageDDS tool to convert into a proper cubemap:

 

imagedds -t cube sky_base_background.png
