SkyBox Help Needed! - 4WalledKid - 10-13-2012

I want to add a night sky to my map. Which are the supported sizes for the .dds file?


RE: SkyBox Help Needed! - Statyk - 10-13-2012

I can be any size. It just has to be set up for a proper cubemap, which is 6 sides.

Let's say youhave a 1024x1024 1:6 grid for your skybox. The images will be lined like this:
[][][][][][]

Each one is 1024x1024. So if you line them up, it should be a resolution of
1024x6144.

If it's 512x512,
512x3072

Understand?
