Making A Sky Box

In Maya

You may be thinking that making a sky box is a long and difficult process but it is actually really easy to accomplish. In this tutorial i'll be showing you how to make a sky box quick and easy.

1. To start you need to create a sphere that is larger than the seen you are creating.

  

2. You then go to faces mode and select the bottom half (make sure to go all the way around to make sure all there aren't any missing) then delete the bottom half.

3.Now that you half a half sphere go to the scale tool and select the blue square in the middle bring the shape to the center until it reflects so the the black is on the outside and the polygon faces on the inside.

4.The last part is choosing a texture any sky texture will do just place is on the half-sphere and make sure that is covers all the inside, and that is all there is to it.

 From the inside it will look like a real sky. Now form the inside it will look like a real sky, but remember it get;s kind of hard to work in a sky box so it may be best to add it last.
