SKYBOXES BASICS

   In this tutorial we'll not use any specific Cre8or project.

NOTE: Texture are used in the tutorial for the purpose of teaching. These textures were borrowed. I do not hold authority over them.

   Now get these cube maps: Cube_Maps.zip

I go these textures from the OGRE SDK, there's a README file that denotes ownership.

Now add a skybox:

Click "Front Image"

Now match it to the appropriate file, and do the same for the rest of the images.

BK - Back
DN - Down
FR - Front
LF - Left
RT - Right
UP - Up

Now go to your scene, and add the "Scene Create" event:

Now add the Skybox

Oh, and ignore that it says "Compositor"

NOTE: Careful about renaming skyboxes once you set the textures! If you rename it you have to reset all the textures!

NOTE: you have to add at least one texture, but you don't have to give the texture a file:

That's it for now!
