Hi all,
I've put together another set of free skyboxes to give me an excuse to play around with the new Bryce 5.5. These use some of the new Bryce sky presets and lean more toward natural skies than the previous skybox releases, which were a bit sci-fi at times (but there are a few alien skies in this batch also).
There are 23 boxes in this series. You can preview and download here if you're interested:

The minimum DBP code to load one of these into a scene would be:
intBoxNum = 1
load object "cielo.x", intBoxNum ` the box is a 3D cube named cielo
set object light intBoxNum, 0 ` lighting is baked into the textures already
set object texture intBoxNum, 2, 1 ` avoid those messy seams at the edges
scale object intBoxNum, 30000, 30000, 30000 ` skies are big...
position object intBoxNum, 0,0,0 ` center the box
position camera 0,0,0 ` put camera INSIDE the box
` insert your game loop here
Same license as the previous releases, if you're familiar with them -- royalty free for use in your games, including commercial if you contact me first and let me know you're using them as scenery, not just reselling them as content. Feedback always appreciated. Thanks.
