    HI,

    How do i map a scene so i can save it as a skybox? I have it lightmapped and all that.

    So i now want to save it as a skybox, and then import it into the game.

    I seen videos one time for people doing Reflection maps, it involved using a cube and it would make directional screenshots somehow and blend that together.

    I assume the process for mapping a skybox is prettymuch the same?

    Please advise..

    There is an Editor script to do this with instructions on how to use here:

    http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=Skybox_Generator

    Essentially it creates a menu item to render out the 6 images for your skybox, simply copy and paste the script and save as: SkyBoxGenerator.js in your editor folder.
