360 Degree Skies [Source]
Hi,

I just found a nice site containing large numbers of different 360 Degree panorama skies (and also some horizons), partly pretty spectacular, and wondered if anyone would/could manage to set them up for LFS and post some screenshots (I only hope this is possible without violation of any copyright regulation).

Maybe someone would like to give it a try?


Aaaaah, well, I nearly forgot the link: www.continuum3d.com
On the top panel there are also different categories to browse. See examples below.

how can you convert them to raw files that the games use??
Hmm, they look pretty good, although I'm not a big fan of bloom. It looks OK in some games - namely arcade racers like NFS which are totally unrealistic anyway.

I think proper HDR looks great, but I doubt we'll be seeing that kind of thing in LFS for some time.
lol true bloom makes me lose fps and my pc aint that great ether but i think it just makes it more realistic

I am going to make a pack just for fun

Ty Smove good findings
Fortunately I've got a powerful rig, performance isn't my problem. I just think that the enbseries bloom mod looks a bit naff on LFS. It's not a dedicated LFS mod and it shows. I've tried various enbseries configs and although some are OK, none really work that well, neither do they on GTR2.

I suppose it's a case of each to their own.
4 Skys

Blackwood -Cloudy Sunset = Sunset
Westmill Intenational -Cloudy Afternoon = Night
South City Classic- Clear Afternoon = Cloudy and Sunny
Kyoto Ring Oval - Clear Day

The night on Westhill looked kinda weird, but other than that I love them

I hope you could make a pack with all tracks(and btw, I use bloom, and your skyes made it look lovely)

hope you get done fast, if I join a server with wrong sky, I will go to another one
lol yes as u just meation then night 1 i see wht u mean it not to realictic becuz the funny light cicals around it but as i said blooms brings them to life .

Well i am glad someones has a mind to check them out
