Hey,

I hadnt been able to play with DB for quite some time. Now that I have got some time to get back into it I am a bit stuck. Can anyone suggest to me how I can create a sphere around the camera which is transparent :/ so you are centered in there and can see any other objects around you. I was wondering also if it would be possible to texture a sphere on the inside rather than on the outside. I have tried different things out but havnt quite found anything constructive.

Sorry for a dodge question and the way its written out but its beena long day and well I wasnt great when I left DB a while ago. What can I say

Anyway, thanks for any and all replies.

one way to texture a sphere on the inside is to create it with the size as a negative number

negative size, set object cull and you can use transparency to put windows into your sphere so you can see the inside textured and yet still see out.
