    Could someone point me to a free space skybox? I can't seem to really find one.

    They are really hard to come by. I would also like to know where some good space skyboxes are...

    Here's a couple I made a while ago:





    They're both just the cube map files. You'll need to drop them into your skybox material and set the wrap mode on the textures to "clamp". Not sure if they're a bit too stylised for your solar system project?

    If you're looking for raw material, some good stuff from Nasa here:

    Best thing: very non-restrictive licensing.

    Space skyboxes are hard to find. However, space spheremaps are easy to find. Get a spheremap, map it to a sphere in Unity, and then use the skybox generator script on the unify wiki to make your skybox.

    A simple space skybox is really easy to make using the 6-sided skybox material in Unity 5. Just make some heavy noise over a black layer in GIMP or Photoshop, blur it a tad, and mess with the levels until you get what looks like stars. Then just set the texture to clamp, and drag it into all 6 of the skybox sides. Even nebulas and that sort of thing are pretty easy, just use multiple-colour gradients on a feathered clouds mask over your stars on overlay mode, and it should look pretty nice.

    Here's a sample image I made in 30 seconds using Photoshop:

    Starscape.png

    And a nebula:

    [QUOTE = "ian-mac, post: 649540, member: 3274"] Aqui está um casal que eu fiz há um tempo atrás:





    Ambos são apenas os arquivos de mapa de cubo. Você precisará soltá-los em seu material skybox e definir o modo de envolvimento sobre as texturas para "grampo". Não tem certeza se eles são um pouco estilizados demais para seu projeto de sistema solar? [/ QUOTE]
