Hello,
I am trying to program a game, and I was wondering how to make a skybox. Would a cylinder work for a skybox, or would you use a sphere? How about day/night texture change? I think I know how to make the light change, but how do you make the textures gradually change? Here is what I know:
You have a 3-d map, inside a sphere/cylinder, and a light also. You also add another cylinder for the sun/moon that rotates inside the skybox?

Thanks,
dangerdoc
