Couple more quick questions coming at ya' all
Ok, How do you make skyspheres? I think I understand the concept, a giant sphere with texture on the inside, but do you have to create it with a seperate 3d modeler, or can I just make a sphere with dbpro?
next, speaking of textures and object modelers, are there any decent resources out there that have some decent models and textures I can use? I can't afford darkmatter yet, I have zero artistic ability to make my own. Are there any free pre-made resources? Like samples?
thanx .

So many games... so little time!

You can create a sky sphere in one of two ways.

Either create the sphere with a negative size, or create your sphere normally and switch its culling off.

IanM's right: with "set object [numObject],1,1,0", you switch the culling off (the normals point inward).

For the ressource, this page:
http://rpg-dev.games-creators.org/artefacts.html
gives great links to all kind of ressources (sounds, music, textures, etc...)

Does it help?

Still one question left, when you create the spere, do you (can you) do that with in DBpro, or do (have to) use a 3D modeler?
If you can do both, what are the pros and cons?

Yes you can create a skysphere from DBP

MAKE OBJECT SPHERE objnum,radius

a cons may be that ghosting it will cause weird effects..as opposed to using a model..
but this may be a problem with my set up and not DBP related
