Quote - Is it possible to convert your sci-fi pack to Vue
Yesterday I had a look at my Artmatic skies. Did a 360 panoramic render of one of those skies.
In Vue I chose "Environment Mapping" as atmosphere option, and loaded the render. It worked perfectly. When I deleted the ground plane I had a full 360 panoramic sky. I then rendered one of the Artmatic moons separately and applied it on an Alpha Plane and this looked really great.
What it requires are hires renders of those skies and additional elements. I think when rendered at 8192x4096 resolution, the skies will look identical to the original skies.
What`s great is that in Vue any additional 3D elements can be added.
Also experimented with skies that used just Vue elements but finally I found the above mentioned method more convincing and a lot easier to use.
I will definitely work on a SciFi/Alien sky pack for Vue :-)
