Trainz Skybox

[marmalade32]

What beautiful sky boxes, such a shame trainz still uses the flat ones.

for this i am also the person that founded it here is my driv. > https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1laEx-scSTnUyECh-pzdamXm3dVqeuxj-?usp=sharing

the credits go to me, malman09, thebrainz, and impoche for finding out how to do it and for me reaching out to him and figuring out how to do it after he exported the model into trainz

Don't understand how you're supposed to use these in Trainz 19. . . .

Are these different than the ones previously posted?

Dave, they are a building asset. Just click on the ground to place the asset and ctrl-z to remove it before trying another one. They will work better on small routes as it places a large sphere on the route with a sky image inside it.

Place them down on the ground from the Buildings tab, and turn your draw distance all the way up, or else you won't see them. It's essentially a giant dome that covers over the default Trainz skybox.

Yes, but a fair bit smaller

 

[trainfanboyd12]

Yes, but a fair bit smaller

ah yes i see now, would be better for a module

 

[applegathc]

Damn, these are pretty snazzy!

[davesnow]

They don't move though, do they,

 

[Paulsw2]

Ingenious! But a reminder that the sky is big part of the 'look' of Trainz and hasn't really changed in 25 years.

 

[Dinorius_Redundicus]

What is the radius of the sphere?

 

[grazlash]

What is the radius of the sphere?

20km for the MalMan ones, which is enough to cover a 15km view distance from the loco. For large routes they would be better used as a load on a consist, so they move with the train.

 

[applegathc]

i love these.

Hey Ryan that's pretty cool

 

[BNSF650]

Does anyone have a video on how to get these to work?

 

[grazlash]

No need for a video, just install them and click somewhere on your route to place them. If you zoom out, you can see the entire sphere.

 

[JAGG]

Would slight rotation added to the sphere add moving clouds effect? Speed of the moving would be depending on where the mid of (hemi)sphere would be placed on the route?

 

[grazlash]

A 20km sphere would need to rotate fairly slowly. At least slower than the clouds in the current skybox. I'm not sure how the mechanism could be got to work though a constantly moving turntable like object at 0.2rpm just sprung to mind, lol.

N3V really needs a new skybox with the next version of Trainz or better yet an update! It would add so much to the immersion factor and bring it up to current standards.
