Ravenloft - POTM - Override Skybox

Ravenloft POTM Skybox Overrides v 1.3

Made as part of the Ravenloft - Prisoners of the Mist PW project - come visit us at www.nwnravenloft.com


With Bioware's default skyboxes, only small amounts (about 30%) of the actual texture is ever shown to the player. This is partially because they had optimized their model for areas sized 0x0 tiles (center (0;0)) but also since they wanted to a maintain a 1:1 aspect ratio of the sides in the targa bitmap for compatibility.

These overrides utilize a new custom model for skyboxes that is trimmed to what is displayed to the player as well as better optimized for larger area sizes.

It also use new textures in much high resolution. These were all made in Photoshop (with only one custom texture borrowed from Hubble Space telescope archieves).


Usage:
