    In my time doing texturework in minecraft I once came across a rather neat little program called spacescape. It's used to create space skyboxes with a bazillion possibilities and parameters. Today I tried to apply the same program to create starmade skyboxes.
    These are the results so far.

    This was after increasing the original file's brightness by 150 2 times in PS, starmade makes its sky a lot darker.

    For this one I increased the brightness in spacescape to avoid the ugly contrasty bits in the first one.


    Possibly more to come.
    If you're interested in the files, I'll be happy to provide them.

    these are really coming along!

    this would be a great method for making cinematic skyboxes for filming.

    Luckily the program works with layers, so taking out a a lot of the clouds is quite simple.
    (Hopefully) for your viewing pleasure: less clouds

    [That looks a lot better :p And glows are now looking like real galaxy.

    You could add dark clouds and glow that's comming from back of these clouds like here:




    PS:
    How big are textures used for Skyboxes? I would like to play with them using matte painting.

    Neat!

    Upload a pack to the mod category once you have 7 or so.
