Misty Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) I have couple of ideas - more skyboxes which would reminiscent morning or sunrise. Something like this(I used your sky stuff and slapped sun here for my personal mapping project needs): Spoiler Also, sun sky, which looks like "STARETH1" variations. Anyway, good job with new pack, I'll be sure to use them in my future projects ;) 9 Share this post Link to post

Mechadon Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) I appreciate all of the support guys, thank you :D 15 hours ago, Misty said: I have couple of ideas - more skyboxes which would reminiscent morning or sunrise. Also, sun sky, which looks like "STARETH1" variations. Those are both good ideas, I'll probably try to make something like that in a future update. Actually a good looking sunrise sky is fairly hard to do just because having it sit in front of the clouds can look awkward. That tends to look best as a really bright light source that's scattered by clouds. Another way to do it is to have more scattered clouds (or no clouds at all) and have the sun displayed that way (DNESKY01 is an example although its more stylized than what you're probably looking for). As for a STARETH1 style sky with the sun, I actually had plans to make something like that but it slipped my mind. I found a decent stock sun image for it that might work (haven't tried it out yet). Anyways yea, I'll make something like that :) Edited March 8, 2019 by Mechadon 2 Share this post Link to post

Misty Posted July 11, 2019 Hey, sorry for the bump, but I have another idea - could you create something like ""STARETHx", but for gas giants? And more skies with some different planets would be nice to have. I'm writing this here, before I'll forget this and some ideas got wasted in eternity. 0 Share this post Link to post

ENEMY!!! Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) If you're using Chrome it's probably the browser. Chrome increasingly has an obnoxious habit of auto-blocking downloads that it thinks might not be safe, without actually telling you that it's blocked, it just acts as if you didn't click anything. I read a Google representative say something along the lines of, "Computers shouldn't do what you tell them to, they should do what you want them to, which should be whatever Google's default is, to protect you from yourself and be helpful", so I guess it's in line with that kind of philosophy. For now (I've tested it) it works in Chrome if you right-click the file, and it works as normal on Firefox. 1 Share this post Link to post

Shibainumaster Posted November 11, 2021 how does Mech even draw them? they seem like he used his own drawings and stock images, but at the same time it looks hand drawn. 1 Share this post Link to post
