Bryce, all about the sky

can i get it?

If you have the money ($300.00 US), you could buy it from the Corel Corporation:


Or you could use Terragen (which I think is free). The link is in my "Beginner's Guide to Mapping".

you crazy people...

did you ever try a P2P program? like KaZaA or morpheus?

[CleverClothe offline]

That would be what we like to call, "illegal activity".

I just stumbled on to something that may make peoples lives easier (or not). If you are editing your sky pics, you don't have to restart the map to see the changes. You can start a game, tab out to Photoshop and edit the pics (save them, of course), and when you tab back in to Tribes the sky will have changed... no UE

Cool! Do you have to relight or recreate the sky?

Or is it voodoo?

[Nycto offline]

Voodoooooo:eek:

No relighting. Just save the new pics and tab back in to tribes.

First of all there are probably a hundred ways to do this ( I make my own in PS) but this is the easiest way!

First you need a planetary texture, do this in a paint program or get one from a place like thise --> The image hast to be square and fill the entire canvas. Using bryce the size doesnt matter you probably won't find an image larger than bryce can work with.

create a sphere

click on the small box with the "m" on it next to the sphere to enter the ML (Materials Lab)

click in the A column next to Ambient and Diffuse, this will bring up a texture panel to the left

click on the little button on the bottom that has the "P" then the pink button above it on the top of the panel

select one of the blank boxes and select your image

select the check mark.

give it a quick render

You will have to play with the textures surface settings (ambience,reflection,tranparency, and diffusion for the most part) to get the affect you want.

this trick is very useful for many many affects!



BTW Nycto you must be using a different game than I am cause I have never been able to reload textures in game.
