Just like an object. Load your object, scale it, and you may have to set culling (reversing of faces) if you dont then your set. Its just making a sphere with your world inside.

Another tip...

If you centre your skysphere with your camera, you will never get up close to it. A sphere of hills in the distance looks pretty stoopid if you can walk right up to it.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

Here's something if you've got DBC



This will make a inside out sphere, you can also do it with cubes!

I suggest using backface culling (the SET OBJECT command)
