Here's another skycube from my Space Scenes Pack.

It's taking me longer to get the site opened than I had planned, but I'm getting close. I'll be opening with 5 themed packs, 25 skycubes in total. Stay tuned...

Here's the link for this example...a space scene with a ringed planet from over a lunar surface, all in a colorful nebulae.

Hmm, I've not recieved much feedback on these demos. Perhaps there isn't as much interest in new skycubes as I had thought.

SkyCubes,

Sorry about the lack of feedback from the others. I've read to many post here that end this way. It's seems that alot of people just want, want, want. While very few take a second to say thank you or to say anything at all, but I'm sure you already know this.

Anyway, I for one do look forward to your Sky Packs and appreciate your hard work.

Regards
Mark

QTVR...wow. I've heard that kind of stuff is hard to make.

Chronosv2,

Not hard at all. In fact, it takes only minutes once you have the 6 images for the cube using a freeware program called GoCubic.

No problem. I'll have a tutorial section on my site once it opens that will have links to all the software I'm using and step-by-step instructions on creating your own skycubes.

Here's another example from my Space Scenes Pack. This one is in orbit of a planet, billions of stars in the background and a nice nebulea in the distance.

Here's another one...from the SciFi Worlds Pack. A lunar surface with scifi structures in close orbit around an alien planet. A second ringed planet and a nebulae in the distance. Lots of stars of course.

Wow, those are cool. I plan on doing a game that involves a spacecraft, so the space/sci-fi skycubes will work especially well.

Keep up the good work--I'm sure these will be immensely helpful to FPSC users! (Just so long as they give credit where it is due. )

unfortunatly, they won't. So a hard signature (up in the clouds) is a good idea.

Your mod has been erased by a signature which was erased by a mod being erased by a signature.

EULA simply requires citing the source and URL in the game's documentation, for both commercial and non-commercial releases, i.e. "Skycubes used created by and available at www.skycubes.com".

Here's one more from the Alien Worlds Pack. Some alien world in very close orbit to a bigger alien world with a weird atmosphere and landscape.

Holy crap. These skycubes never cease to amaze me. These skyboxes are very professionally done--great work! (Yes, I'm repeating myself, but it's true, dangit.

Another example from the Alien Worlds Pack. Some alien buildings on a planet who knows where. Strange atmosphere and terrain with a redish tint.

http://www.skycubes.com/QTVR/aw5.mov

All of these skycubes will be available as singles or in packs. Each comes with an installer package that will drop them right into your FPSC folder. They will be ready to use right out of the box so-to-speak.

OK, you pulled my arm...here's another one. A personal favorite of mine from the Urban Areas Pack. Big city nestled under some very big mountains on one side.

This one has a big file size (6MB) becuase I wanted a good quality QTVR so you can get a sense of the quality of the renders on these skycubes.

And how long do they usually take you? My gosh those look cool.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just quite amazed with your work.

One more before I open the site. This one is from the Urban Areas Pack, but it's a different kind of urban area. A small settlment on some other planet or moon.

Won't be long now folks
