Skydome Maker

  Published by Tim Formica [Room335] on May 20th, 2008 in 3D News, Plugins, Toolbox

From Markus Kothe

The other day a was searching the internet for some skydomes to use for easy and nice reflections and AO light. When I didn't found any I liked I said to myself…

"Why don't I make some myself? Blender should be capable of that"

So now I have set up a system for easy making of sky domes. Skymaker is available for download at it's homepage

    Great! I dunno how long I was trying to make sky domes when I was struggling through learning Maya, (a long time ago before I found Blender)

    Well done de done!

    "Ooooh I don't like these stuff, why don't I make some myself? Blender should be capable of that"

    Nice method.

    I use this method all the time. At one time I was going to release a "Sky Materials" .blend file with a lot of cool skys I've done in Blender, but never got the time.

    And, to make the clouds look better, I suggest turning up the Noise Depth.

    This is extremely helpful. Thanks Markus!
    If only I had a dollar for every time I heard "I couldn't find any, so I made one myself." Or better yet, if only I could make one myself every time I needed some resource…

    It's nice to know about this program, but there's no anlysis of the program, description, or material on using it with Blender.
