Skybox

Post by Jesus_Smith_Nandez »

I know this has been suggested before but I just cannot stress enough: This game would look 1000x better with a skybox.
Example A:

The blackness in the background of this image looks unnatural and gross. What could normally be a great pic is ruined. This is the case with many pictures taken in bad cam like this.
Example B:

The pictures in this thread look fucking spectacular with nothing but an image in the background to substitute for the blackness.

"Bad cam" is called "bad" for a reason.

Just keep in mind that skybox would have to be dynamic for different times of day etc. And what would you propose as a "skybox" in caves/mines?

perhaps it could be like a "sky image" which would probably be a lot easier to implement

Since you look under the ground, we need the HellBox.

PS Also, take in account that messing around with hellbox will decrease contrast of the terrain and may be confusing sometimes, especially with the w9 mountains. If it will be ever implemented, I would like to have an option to switch it off.

Its not "intended" that you use bad cam so they will never probably add skybox even though it's maybe quite easy.
