Heylo All,

I also wanted to include that i wanted to know how to make the texture appear on the inside of the sphere..if that's how the 3d sky was supposed to be done.

-Thanks again!

this is the code for a sky sphere:
prepare a sky texture and name it skytext

rem make sky subroutine
makesky:
rem load sky texture
load image "skytext.bmp",1
make object sphere 99,10000
scale object 99,100,50,100
set object 99,1,0,0,1,1,1,1
texture object 99,1
fade object 99,0
return

in this example the sky sphere (object 99) will be 10000 units big, so camera range must be bigger ie 11000 or more,
in main loop you must make sure that the skysphere always follows the player (or camera)

cheers

Heylo again,
I jess wanted to know why you made the sky a subroutine, i wasnt sure about that, i mean, the sky seems to be a part of the scenery, so why make it a subroutine?

-Thanks a bunch!
