BTW I sure hope you'd consider my envirobox over current aw type skyboxes or
backdrops. My envirobox (my skybox on steroids ;o} ) allows the user to have
a mountain scene (for instance) but the sky part is transparent so the user
can use aw's sky colors plus clouds, stars, etc.
My envirobox idea rocks (although admittedly others may have thought of it
also LOL) ... you can see it in action at Aeon, better yet gram me when you
see me on and I'll give you a *demonstration* ... the envirobox is FREE for
d/l at my site (you can find that from that aw IE browser when you arrive in
Aeon, once there go to the gallery, the envirobox in my world is EnviroSet2
or something like that).
An envirobox will be great for worlds that need to change skies according to
the time of day, but need the mountains (or whatever the backdrop is) to
remain the same or similar except for shading (day to night).
I can of course make *more* if needed. One of my skyboxes is currently in
use in a real game made in Germany :o}
