Don't miss this in your Game Dev toolbox

If you do not know how to get this into Esenthel, here are some steps:

Download Nvidia Tools:
https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/defau...7.1645.exe


Create a new folder anywhere, create a .bat file with this content
nvdxt -cubeMap -list cubemapfile.lst -output myskybox.dds

create a new file called cubemap.lst

inside your cubemap.lst file add this

open the .dds file and convert it to .png or something
now put the .png into editor and set it as cube map

Good one. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips !!

And for information, in EE 2.0 you can drag an drop each png on the right place on the cube map without use nvidia DDS Utilities

Great tool, thanks!

awesome!! thank you for this tip

Thank you! This is awesome!

This is what i needed for my video game. You have no idea how much time and effort you just saved me. Thank you one million times over!

This really is a fantastic find. My plan was to use Hubble images (or something similar) to patch together a cube map for my skies, but this will work 10000x better and faster.

Actually, everyone should be using something similar to this for their game's sky--especially night. Most people underestimate how much a unique sky adds to the unique feel of a game.

I think Esenthel 2.0 could benefit greatly from just such a tool....
