Oh, well the the idea of a 3d skybox was to shrink down scenery and upscale its hologram.

#

So it does make you look huge

lapis hearth
#

exactly

#

now i understand

#

why the skyboxes are minimized

#

whilst the main area is perfect sized

#

im assuming its better to make some empty land instead of a hole to the void for the projections center

lapis hearth
#

like theres this big empty space where the main spot is in the skyboxes

#

instead of a hole or something

#

Sorry I'm not following, do you have a screenshot?

lapis hearth
#

no

#

but lme describe it

#

so the first thing you see in construct's skybox is probably the middle

#

its empty within the walls

#

only a flat ground

icy pond
#

OH!

#

Okay, so the reason it's that way, is because that square cavity is where the player space is, as in, the real map.

lapis hearth
#

yeah but theres no hole to the abyss

#

theres a visible ground

icy pond
#

Yes.

#

That's because I'm pretty sure you need your skyboxes to be sealed as well.

lapis hearth
#

possibly if youre not gonna go the hard way and make it perfect just go easy and fill up the space

#

which in terms of no leaks in the skybox ground from intended perspective is genius

#

exactly

#

unless the skybox stretches there

#

so the reasonable solution is

#

dont try to optimize rensering there

#

just shove tne ground anyway

#

I kinda have a difficult chore, because my map is bumpy, with displacement maps. To create a skybox I might need to sew together a fake terrain extension, then shrink it.

#

So the bumps line up.

lapis hearth
#

ye

#

what about the sizing

#

im kinda new to hammer++ yet alone the original hammer

#

i got the basic skills like entities and terrain

icy pond
#

The scale ratio?

#

Well, I'm pretty sure the sky_camera has a value for that.
