I honestly don't know enough about 3d to answer that. I got started on this because I thought the boxes that came were very low res, and I was working on my QS. When Jorin posted the tutorial, I started looking for solutions. It's a lot harder when you're on a Mac because so many tools are wintel only. Had to grab VirtualBox and a copy of 7 to work from. Then found cubethesphere ( a godsend!). Then found a Mac webp converter—we don't natively support the format on our side (&^%%*!).

My workflow on these is download images, use cubethesphere (selecting 2048 as my resolution) to convert the hdri panos to the 6 files for the box, convert them from bmp's to webp, rename them. It's a simplistic process because I'm in my infancy at this. I've loaded blender, but it's baffling me without a guidebook, and the tutorials on youtube are almost all on older versions—nothings where I expect it to be.

Maybe we should feature suggest evening skyboxes?
