Normally a skybox/skyphere is made and textured in a modelling program and then exported. So you may want to look into that instead

You can't with a DB primitive cube - unless you use a function to 'kludge' it - like the one I posted in Code Snippets.

But, doing that isn't perfect as you can sometimes see the joins between the cube sides which ruins the effect.

Yes, a modelling program is really the best way to go...

Surely it's easier for you to look in the help files rather than ask on here expecting us to type it all in again for you!
