================== SkyGen Version 1.0 ================== DESCRIPTION ================== This is a simple seamless skybox bitmap generator. It generates six bitmaps which can be used as the textures on a skybox within a game engine (for example, Genesis3d). REQUIREMENTS ================== - Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP INSTALLATION ================== - Unzip the entire contents of the zip file into a folder on your hard drive. - Run SkyGen.exe LIMITATIONS ================== Currently this app only generates bitmaps which are 256x256 pixels in size, and with 256 colours. HINTS/TIPS ================== - Keep the sizes of clouds small to reduce the 'banding' effects apparent when using 256 colours. - You can add your own colour schemes. Look in the [installation directory]/ColourMaps/ directory for example schemes. Use these bitmap files as a template for your own. CONTACT ================== Questions? Comments? Feature requests?
