cool, but my engien doesn't use 360 skybox maps. it is sort of like this:
except for each square section is a seperate texture map. and yeah, i know you can make them with terragen... but they always have that mediocre "this was made in terragen" look. sorry for not mentioning this earlier.
Mine doesn't either, we use the six bitmap format. It's easy to convert from one format to another. HDRShop does it for free, if you're not doing commercial work. I used Max.

i use 3ds max 7, how would i do it in that?
Set up the Renderer how you like it. Open the Material Editor. Reflect/Refract map. From File. Change the spinner to the resolution you want. Click the bottom-most blank button. Specify a filename prefix and the format. Click on an object to render from its POV.
Hawken, I'm skeptical. Show me a terragen sky you like?
i was only speaking of skybox's made with the first terragen, not the second. i have seen the pics and they look nice, i didn't know there was a demo out though.

but seriously, check the terragen HP for the new terragen.
I'll be playing around with this at work, I think...
