Well I have searched the forums as much as I can stand for this answer(Really miss that search option). I'm trying to make a matrix with sky overhead. I can get the matrix and sky sphere made and loaded and textured but the textures look like crap!!! I have played around with the code many times and can't get the matrix texture to look natural and the sky sphere will look ok until you turn left or right then you will see a line where the sky looks ok on the left but like a line right down the middle and the right looks bad like really dark. I'm really getting discouraged trying to learn this! I think DBP is really Good but I think there are still to many things wrong with it also not enough tutorials and getting told to search the forums with no search option (waste of time)That is my problem also I can't learn this fast enough. I know it takes a while to learn it and get good but I feel like I'm getting nowhere really really fast!!! LOL well here is my code and thanks for any help in advance IT IS REALLY APPRECIATED!!!

OK- the return key is your FRIEND. Your problem with the skysphere is NOT dark basic- its YOU. There isnt really a way to code around this, your texture just isnt seamless. When the two edges meet, they need to seem together perfectly.

You either need to make a new texture, get a new texture, or try fixing that one with VAN-SEAM available at Van-B's website (www.andrewvanbeck.biinternet.com ??) If thats not right- just go to my website (signature) and his website is under the credits in Eternal Destiny.

He means that large blocks of text are harder to read. It's a suggestion to break them up a bit when posting.
