Hi there

What exactly do you mean by that? Do you want to load a sky sphere into your world ?

If you want to load the sky sphere into your program just use the load object command. Treat it like any other 3D model that you would load in to the game. You also may have to do some resizing to get it the size you want, so if you don’t see it after you load it, it may be too big or small. If you need it big you may have to make the range that the camera can see bigger.

Normally you would place your sky sphere/box at the same 3D location as your player/camera so as you move around, you never ever reach it's extremities.

This places your player inside the sphere/box object which renders it invisible.

So, you also have to remember to alter the cull flag using the Set Object command to make the texture visible from inside the sphere/box.
