Photorealistic Skies V1.0 released

Link..

Link dead.. New links on page 6.

There are 19 skies included. Bahrain instead of A1Ring, and Istanbul and Shanghai included. Silverstone has new horizons and Spa has new trees.

They are intended to use with 2005 tracks/carshapes (but can be used for any mod or track). The sky textures are trying to be as close to possible of the weather of the races in 2005.

Thanks to TTM for his original dome shape and textures that he converted and to all who helped in the WIP skies topic.

Instructions to install are in the readme file. It takes some time to install each sky one by one so maybe try one and see how you like it, before installing them all.

If you don't like the sky for a certain track, there are 9 extra skies that TTM converted in the "extra skies" folder, and any texture for one track and be renamed and used for another track. Make sure to rename it to "Clouds-07.tex".


Cheers

Great work Thanks :D

That was quick Thank you - looking forward to even better screenshots now

@HoldenRT:

Thanks. It's nice to see that you get skies work perfectly.

---

I also hope that every trackmaker/updater include dome shape to track, so it's easier to everybody change different cloud textures to track in future. (or release two different versions of their track)

:D!!
Do these skies affect the PO?

Thanks guys its good to be able to contribute something.

About affecting PO..

It does a bit maybe 5-10%. You should probably try them out for yourself because for some computers it might, but more powerful ones maybe not. I only have an average PC and it didn't really cause any fps problems.


I forgot to mention something.

If you use mirrors but not with "show all objects" and you want the sky to be in the mirrors. Change it's class in 3dEditor, from MISCTSO to HORIZON after you have imported it.

Sorry HoldenRT that i put new cloud textures to this thread, but i think that it's better that all cloud things are in same place.

4 new cloud textures are taken from GT-Legends.

only tried it on suzuka so far but it looks great good job

No prob TTM, cool skies!

All we need now is some angry thunderclouds. There is going to be some cool looking screenshots with those.

i don't say anything to this, i think screenies says more than thousands of words









--> 2 times Worldchampion 2oo5 & 2oo6' <--

I finaly uploaded the skies on gpgames but I had to split up files.
so you will find
- 2005 photorealistic skies :
all 2005 skydomes + textures (with renamed skydomes to HORIZON class)
- Additionnal Photorealistic skies :
all 13 additionnal skies from TTM/GPL (thus including the 4 latest ones from the post above)

And both the files will be available around 23h00.
