Skyboxes

I know there's cgtextures which is what i've been using for a while now.. but I need more skyboxes with.. more detail, you know? Like one for a rainy night or realistic sunset. Does anyone know of any websites/tutorials I can look at? I wouldn't mind learning how to create my own, either.
Thanks!

Creating your own skybox isn't easy, although you could probably pull something off in Blender or Maya. All i can provide to you for creating your own skyboxes is the kind of skybox formats: Horizontal Strip, Horizontal Strip (XYZ), Vertical Cross and Horizontal Cross.

RE: Skyboxes

I've managed to create one from a panoramic picture by manually dividing it into pieces. The top part is one which I didn't make though. I think I used a mixture of photoshop and "CubemapGen" from ATI for that.

As for tools for creating skyboxes I think "Terragen" is one:

I have it, but haven't tried my hand at it.
Edit (A guide for Terragen - seems pretty cool):
