try messing around with the command [Set Camera Range] and setup the min and max distance clipping values.

do this before your main loop




also sometimes its required to change the way you look at a 3d objects polygon faces. sometimes you want to see both sides and sometimes you dont.

look at the [Set Object] command for this as well as other switches to help make sky boxes look better.



A skysphere should be inverted so if using a primitive with DB you can scale it or create it a negative way and it flips it inside out.

eg:

make object cube num,-100

eg:

scale object num,-xscale,-yscale,-zscale
