Or, you could get darkmatter and use a sky there. Or, you could make your own skysphere, then make your own texture. That would get you the best results, but would require lots of skill. It would be a challenge worth trying though, especially with the results.

The fastest way of doing it is making a big sphere and texturing it. In this example, you could use the file sky.bmp in the example "jetski".



Hope this answer you!

Yeah, making a big sphere as sky is easy, but you will get some weird artifact on the top of the sphere, i.e. looks like the texture is crumbled together. Did you notice that?

That's because of the UV mapping that's set to Spherical and unwelds the top vertice/UVpoints therefore distorting uniform textures.

If you're maing an outdoor game,just take a sphere in your favorite 3d modeler and cut it half-half and delete the bottom part,apply a sky texture on it from the top using a planar mapping(with a bit of fiddling with the UV's you'll get it right)...

If you don't want to bother doing that you can use the DB spheres,texture it,rotate on it the Z angle so the seams go under the scene...You may need to scale the sphere just a bit on the Yaxis.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
