Hey all, sorry for posting same message in more than one forum (I just posted to General Chat), but I think the topic is relevant to this forum as well:

All,

I've posted 40 more free skyboxes on my web site. These are in addition to the previous 4 uploads I've done here recently. An index page for these and the upcoming free planets can be found at:

http://www.alsip.net/gamedev/media/index.html

I don't have time at the moment to show preview images here, but you can view previews of all the skyboxes from the above URL.

The newest uploads are divided into four classes: Natural, Sunset, Maritime, and Alien. Each class has its own index page, and from there you can drill-down to each individual skybox, view thumbnails a description, and download a zip file with the box (rather than the whole archive, as before). I've also posted a FAQ page, sample code on a web page, etc.

I hope the new organization will make it easier for people to get only the boxes they're interested in and decrease the download time (as well as reduce bandwidth on my web site).

The subject matter of the latest boxes was very much driven by the input I received on the first four sets. Most requested were more realistic-looking skies and sunsets, so that's what you'll see most.

I'm a big fan of 19th century naval historical fiction and have begun work on skyboxes appropriate to that -- bays, coastlines, islands, etc. My first attempts are in the maritime section of the skybox pages.

Finally, when I make a mistake with my rendering, I've been tossing the results into an "Alien Skies" collection instead of deleting them. I hope to release my first batch of planets some time this week and think I'll be able to color-match the planets with these "mistake" skies.

Thanks again for all the input and suggestions, please keep 'em coming.
