SkyBox


A customizable surrounding background for your projects.

Once you have installed the SkyBox object, simply add the object to your project.



The controls on the dialog are common to all objects.
They are explained here.



CUSTOMIZING THE BACKGROUND

The first step is installing a clone of the SkyBox object:
  • press [Ctrl]+[I]
  • double click the SkyBox icon
  • specify a name for the new object and click SAVE


    • This creates a new folder with a name of your choice in the

    C:\Program Files\3D Rad\3DRad_res\objects\

    folder, allowing you to modify the data without affecting the original object and any project using it.

    The new folder contains the elements of a SkyBox object. Your own skybox files must be copied into the data folder and properly named to replace the existing .jpg files.

    In order to create your own skybox .jpg files you will need a scene rendering software to generate so called skybox textures. They are basically six different image files representing a scenery as seen from six 90-degrees-fov cameras placed at the origin and oriented respectively toward +X,-X,+Y,-Y,+Z,-Z world axes.

    The file name of each image must be in the form skybox_XX.jpg, where XX can be
    px (positive X face)
    nx (negative X face)
    py (positive Y face)
    ny (negative Y face)
    pz (positive Z face)
    nz (negative Z face)
