Skyboxes

Post by Heero »

I am looking for help with skyboxes. I need to get some distant mountains ala many of the MS areas.

Might anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Open the Area Properties. Sky Rings are in the topmost properties section (dropdown lists).

There is also a "mountain ring" placeable appearance - you will probably need to create your own blueprint for it - create a new blueprint in the Placeables pallet, and change the Appearance to "RWS_Mountain_Ring". Scale it fit around the boundaries of your area.

See also this post and this post and this post on the BW NWN2 forums. There's also a Skydomes tutorial on the NWN2 wiki.

wow, lookig at that skydome video, it makes me wonder why the vanilla toolset shipped with such crappy ones, any how far we could go with custom ones.
