Hello Bojandurmic,

If you wanna just edit static skybox, you might use any image editing program like Adobe Photoshop, Paint.Net, and others like those.

However if you wish to make dynamic skybox with moving clouds, day and night cycle, rainfall with variable intensity and other stuffs then you should use DarkClouds or other similar programs.

Another good program to make skybox is CloudWright, Daz Bryce, Terragen, among others.

Also Skymatter packs are great with excellent graphics quality with installer, this means after install them, is ready to use them in FPSC with no pain.

That's it. I hope this may help you a bit.

Cheers.

I'm afraid DarkClouds can't be used like that, and would need a lot of internal work to make use of it.

DarkClouds program I bought it three years ago but in fact I never have actually used it because it was more some kind of add-on to the Dark Basic Pro.

Concerning to the program features I have mentioned in my previous post I read about it in help file of the DarkClouds, though I do not know if the program (DarkCloud) is good or bad at all. I'm sorry.

I would rather to buy nice skyboxes ready to use if possible because it is quite time consuming to make or modify them, and more when we try to change it is difficult (it's not impossible) to maintain all skybox graphics seamless as well.(my opinion though.)

Also, I have CloudWeight program and I have used it already , by the way, it is a good program it's not a fully point and click one, however you can make some nice skybox in no time.

Have fun!
