Animated SkyDome

Hey guys

I tried my hand at a animated skydome with day and night, without looking at complicated stuff like scattering, mie and that other girl. So it is fairly simple, but I'm pretty happy with the overall outcome.

I've included a build (win only) and some screens

Have a look:








Build

 

Nice! looks good. Could the resolution on the sky texture be bumped up? looks a bit pixelated.

 

They are all 1024 maps, and I'm a bit reluctant to go any higher. Sure if it was meant for sky only demo, they could get bumped up to 2048 or even 4096, but I think it'll be hardly noticeable, once put in a scene with a lot of stuff going on.

Edit:
Added stars to the build (not in any screens).

 

Added a video for all you lazy ppl out there

 

i love it where you found this cool cloud texture look so much fantasy i need it where i can found one?

 

*drool*

 

@Shadow93: CGTextures.com is your friend

@Pixellegolas: Thank you very much

 

You should hook up a web player version.

I looked at the .exe and wanted to to see the top to see how the uv map fell together.

It looks good from what I can see.

 

@Black Mantis: This pic should give you a good idea of how the uv's work

Right click -> open image in new tab, to embiggen.

 

I've updated my skydome so here is a new video.

I've tweaked the night time, added moonlight and added morning/evening mist on the ocean.

 

Good work but you need to work on light animation and on it's effects.
