Sky Box Question for the 3d masters

Ty Cobb · 07-24-2020, 04:58 PM

I'm trying very hard to put some of my skyboxes around other's stadium models. In blender, I can see it happen. I manage to, for example, put the Mackinac Bridge behind one of the Angel Stadium models (not OOTP issue one, Silvam's...I think). When I try to import it to OOTP, I get the same 3 background skies that come with the game.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious here...how do I get my skybox to appear instead of the default skies?

Do you mean to remove the skyline? If so, I've found it's easiest to just find the skyline images in the textures folders and make them completely transparent. Then, put the skybox folders in the ballpark folder.

I use one of my hdri's as an environment texture in blender behind silvam's Forbes Field model. You can see the trees, and when I tilt the world, you can see my car underneath the stadium (probably right next to Jimmy Hoffa's?).

I've already saved the model/obj. When I flip over to OOTP and attempt to import the obj...my sky is gone. At this point, I had already removed the background imagery from Forbes...and my sky is just...plain...gone. I'm at a loss to explain.
