Lumoria Sky

With the release of Lumoria Episode 1 (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?22692-Lumoria-Episode-1-Released) comes the release of the Lumoria sky.

I'm very happy with the way it turned it. It's had a few major changes throughout its life resulting in something that I think follows the rules I set out for myself. I thank those of you who followed the development of the sky and offered crit. I also thank the Lumoria guys for the opportunity. This gave me a chance to try out some new ideas like the pseudo-3D trees and painted textures on 3D geometry. You'll find some more information in the readme file, just some backstory and installation instructions you guys don't need. If anyone wants the source .tiffs and .max just let me know and I can send it to you. In addition, if you've played through Lumoria on legendary then you'll know I have a night variant of this sky. It's not quite as polished but I can send that out on request as well.

Best sky ever. :iamafag:

Beautiful work, as always. I still adore those 3d trees- looks a hundred times more realistic than any of Bungie's H1 skyboxes.

The legendary ending skybox is also insane ^^

The clouds on the second picture seem too thick....

Truthfully, when I played through Lumoria, the skybox was what stuck with me more than anything. Simply breathtaking, and my jaw dropped when I noticed you took the time to animate the beam towers.

Lumoria's night sky is epic.

Glad you like it :)

i didnt see the night sky....i thought i played it on legendary :-(

[d4rfnader]

I just extracted it and lightmapped tutorial to the sky, it's awesome; I guess it doesn't show up on legendary all the time though.

The night sky is a completely separate sky that's in the Lumoria ending cinematic if you beat it on legendary.

[SirBobbington]

I beat the level on legendary yesterday, but I didn't see any special ending or the new skybox. Is there anything special you have to do? I used the devmode command 'game_difficulty_set impossible' and the query 'game_difficulty_get' returned 'impossible.' Am I missing something?

You'd have to ask the Lumoria scripters that. The ending is here if you wanna watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CVDrWaEZ0E
I made a mistake and the water cubemap should have been dark. Too late now :\

Awesome, simply awesome. TM, you guys have made me almost die from your epic mapping/tagging again. (This is also good for people who don't want to dig through the map for the sky with HEK+.)
