Hi, does somebody know a ressource/tutorial or can somebody give me a hint or two about texturing a spac edome for a space combat game ? Currently, I am trying to map a huge sphere (10 000 Km large) with a single 1024x1024 map, but this leads to stretching and ugly artifacts. Maybe I am using the wrong approach, maybe I should use parts of polygons and map those separatly instead of trying to map that huge sphere as a whole ? I am trying to get similiar space background as those seen in games like EVE or I-War 2... Thanks, Later, Emmanuel

*pssst* use a skybox
