I just remembered I made alot of skies way back when and I wanted to share them all with you. They are all "mountainous" so if you want deep space I'll have to work up another pack. For now here's the release of my first pack. It includes four skys:

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>SKY PACK 2 RELEASED (2 SKYS)</span></span>

Everyone else share their custom skies too please! Maybe this will become as successful as the custom WADs thread. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Terragen - a freeware program, complicated to newbies but simple once you learn it. I suggest anyone who maps learn how to make their own skies, it enhances your level on so many... levels. LOL

    Maybe it's the small size but they look better than what I can do in Terragen. Maybe I just have the settings borked <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Make sure you've turned detail ALL the way up. This increases your draw times dramatically but the results are stunning. There are all kinds of Terragen Tutorial sites out there, some even have tutorials for making skys in HL, use Google to find some, sorry I don't have any links offhand. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Probably not, I like organic alien skies more than cities but check out The WADFather for all kinds of custom skies, I'm sure you'll find one that fits your needs!

    Very nice... I'm just a bit confused on how to do a few things...

    How would I make the sky "tile" so that I can use it in half-life without an obvious problem at one "corner" of the sky?

    How do you add a sun like that? All of my attempts end up with a big blur in the sky that doesn't quite seem like a sun...

    How do I add stars?
