The quota resets back to 15MB, I think daily. I have the same type of account.

Yes it does. I posted a video on the Wiki a while back showing how to do it.

That's more or less how I'm doing them (though I use the ATI CubeMapGen to make sure they appear as they should). I meant the auto-cubemap utility that would convert them. Basically the utility that was supposed to do what you showed in the video, but without having to do all of the work yourself. It's either incomplete or otherwise nonfunctional, so you have to do them manually.

Spoiler below!

I have "higher-quality" cubemaps generated by GIMP as well, but they're like 4MB in size which is kind of a lot, considering the quality isn't that different. ATI CubeMapGen works pretty well at keeping filesizes reasonable.
