Photorealistic skies...

Does anyone have any idea how to add photorealistic skies in GP4?? I think this is something that is lacking in GP4. Something like Nascar Racing 2003. Now the skies in that game are amazing. I think someone should come up with a way to do this if they havent already. The clouds in this game suck a** IMO. Anyone agree with me?

I guess no one has a clue as to what I am talking about. Everyone here like the skies?? Well I guess Im gonna have to figure it out myself then.

we know what ure talking about. :P

ist just theres no new skis yet

oh I see, wel maybe I can help make one then

I'm too bloody busy keeping my eye on the road m8!!!

Yeah the gp3 updated skies are good.

In gp4 skies using much cpu power - i made all skies to simple light blue to see what happens. Got many frames more.

So be careful making new ones. Its great to have good looking skies but its bad to drive with 20 frames because of that.

P.S. I own N2003 - drive in a german cup (vr-nascar gnl). The new skies are great - the other new effects also.

you're in a cafe...yes that explains the spelling hehehe.

Well I was going to edit the skies, then I realized, I have no clue where the tex files are for them. Does anyone know where the .tex files exist for the skies? If that's even what they are. I will experiment if I can just find the right files to edit

look in gp4 directory/maps/resources/weather
theres a heap of bmp files with clouds on them, not sure if thats all thats involved for the sky but must be part of it.

thats kinda interesting. they are all black and white pictures. It must take the shades of white and insert them into the game with a blue background. Kinda like having a green background from a movie set. Well I wonder what would happen if I inserted a real picture into it instead of using a black and white photo. Hmmm........let's see here............
