What is your favorite skybox texture.

[ZeMystic]

Skyboxes are cool. Post your favorites here! Because I'd love to see them. Some of my favorites are:

 

All of the sky textures from TNT: Revilution

I like the skybox from Nuts 3

(I don't have a image so sorry about that.)

 

ProDoomer itself might be shit but I like the skyboxes it uses. Though my two absolute favorite sky textures would be the one used in "Mad Space" map (ProDoomer) and TNT Evilution's 2nd Sky texture.

Typically nighttime or moon skyboxes appeal to me the most, usually shades of blue, though the maps have to be well suited for it. From iwads, TNT's galaxy is my favourite, although Doom's episodes 1 and 3 both have some very neat ones I normally stop for a second to just stare at them. And from pwads, some that I recall are:

 

This from Dark Resolution 2008

 

and some of the Ancient Aliens ones:

 

and also I love Requiem's first episode sky, but not bothering with right now, it's divided in four lumps so here's the moon piece

 

Also @Scypek2 made this awesome abomination:

 

almost forgot this one from Sacrament, looks much better in-game particularly in map 13, one of my all-time favourites.

I love the classic starry sky.

My all time favorite sky has to be the E1 sky from NEIS.

 

The sky itself isn't the most incredible thing, but I always liked the way it complemented the other colors in Memento Mori Map28.

 

Another one I like for completely different reasons is the sky from Icarus. Look at those polygons!

Reminds me of those old demoscene programs where you'd fly over a random landscape.

One of my favorite skies are the ones that give off a moody, seasonal atmosphere. Dusk / Morning skies in particular are underrated and should be used in more wads.

^{(REVERIE.wad - MAP11)}

 

^{(REVERIE.wad - MAP13)}

 

^{(doomcity.wad)}

 

This next one I really like as well: It's basically an edit of one of Doom2's default skies and contrasts nicely with the majority of the game's textures and colors:

Oh E4 sky that's sick.

 

Wait a minute..

I currently can't put the sky that I wanna say now but, the one that I absolutely love is the sunset sky used in the GL addon of Epic 2 (it uses the secret levels and the maps 21-30). I really like the sky and gives a lot of atmosphere in the maps, especially in the oasis-esque maps.

I believe that most of the skyboxes are coming from this site.

Hey you're right. I still like the skyboxes though.

Since this thread got revived, might as well ask if anyone is able to access the download for theplace.wad? I wanted to download it after seeing the picture but Google Drive showed that I didn't have access to the file, same with the texture pack in the same thread. Only file I could download was Reconstruction/Decomposition through the idgames link.

 

Also not to veer completely off topic, here's one of my favorite skyboxes, this one being from Monti's Alpha Centauri

[OnionTaco22]

I can't think of one in specific although I do really like a some of the otex skybox textures.

[Shepardus]

Muumi's animated skies are great, as seen in Pina Colada and Doom 2 In City Only.
