[Bf-funboard] Sky Generator

[Nathan Allworth]

I think Chris and Emilie are right. There are many things yes that
need improving (we don't need a sky generator but it would be nice to
have) but we can get away with a lot with what we do have. To my
knowledge only one major 3d package has a sky generator and that's
lightwave.

The only things I would change about world buttons functionality is
the way the hemispherical textures are mapped (It seems to place the
sphere very high above the horizon--it's with the camera position I
know--this gives us large ugly black areas at the horizon of our
images, but that's for another post) and the mist engines in many game
engines are better than blender's. (IMAO)
