Anyone know how to make an object hollow? I want it to be used as a skybox. Thanks!

The "texture backdrop" command is now obsolete. Sky spheres work.

Here is some code I used to make a star map sky sphere.

make object sphere 111,3000,10,10
set object collision off 111
texture object 111,7 [7 is your image]
position object 111,0,0,0
set object 111,1,0,0,0,0,0 [this is what makes it work]

If you make an object's size negative, it will be hollow.
Example:

This will make cube number 1 an inversed cube 5000 units big.
(an inversed cube can only be seen from inside, not outside, perfect for sky boxes.)

Are you taking notes? There's going to be a test later...
