How do you create sky spheres and place them into the matrix?

An easy approach is to use something like:

+ Code Snippet

Set Camera Range 32, 1000000

Make Object Sphere <OBJNUM>, 10000
Texture Object OBJNUM, TEXTURENUM
Set Object Cull OBJNUM, 0
Set Object Ambient OBJNUM, 0

Do
   Position Object OBJNUM, Camera Position X(CAMNUM), Camera Position Y(CAMNUM), Camera Position Z(CAMNUM)

   Sync
Loop

As the camera moves, the skysphere remains stationary.

APEX!
