Cloudy Skyboxes
A downloadable asset pack
A series of 50 FREE Procedurally Generated Skyboxes you can use as backgrounds or images in your games or projects!
Great for First Person Shooters, Battle Arenas, RPGs, or anywhere you need a Skybox! All Cloudy Skyboxes have been designed from scratch using abandoned software, exported using custom scripting, and manually stitched into cubemaps or equirectangular panoramas. Every background has been rendered as *.png using two Skybox styles, Cubemap or Panorama, so you can choose the type that best fits your needs! Includes bright sunny days, sunrises or sunsets, and night skies for more variety.
Cubemap skyboxes have been rendered using 512x512 frames and assembled into 2048x1536 horizontal cross cubemaps, but can easily be split into individual frames.

Panorama (spherically mapped / equirectangular) skyboxes have all been rendered at 2048x1024.

Downloads have been split into separate packs containing either Cubemap or Panorama style skyboxes, with 32 skybox files contained in each pack.
Contents:
- 25 x Cloudy Skybox Cubemaps
- 25 x Cloudy Skybox Panoramas
That's 25 Cloudy Skyboxes rendered using 2 Projections for a total of 50 Cloudy Skyboxes in total!

Does anyone know of a good tool I could use to quickly split all the cubemap skies into 6 separate images? I know I could do it manually in gimp but it would take a while lol, I was really hoping the sides would all be separate since for my use case I need them that way
Okay, if you bear with me just a little longer, I've put together a small utility for splitting the Cubemaps (or even the Panoramas) into the individual frames. Also managed to get it set up to convert between Cubemap and Panorama, or stitching the 6 individual images back into either persepective. I just have to do a few more tests to make sure everything is working, but it should be ready pretty soon!

Here it is, the Cubemap Splitter utility! You can use this to split any of the Cloudy Skyboxes or Planet Surface Skyboxes into their 6 individual frames, or convert between Cubemap and Panorama. You can also select and import 6 individual frames again and re-stitch them into a Horizontal Cross Cubemap (4:3) or Equirectangular Panorama (2:1)
Thanks. The reason I needed the sides separate is because I want to use them with a new n64 game engine that just came out called pyrite64, it has a special render mode that allows you to use textures up to 256x256 so i needed to split the cubemaps into the 6 sides and scale them down by 50% with imagemagick, the scaling part is easy, it was just the splitting that was going to be kind of tedious due to how many skies there are in the pack
Hopefully the new Cubemap Splitter tool helps simplify the process!
you are a boss
hello have you ever thought about making your asset game jam ?
That would actually be pretty awesome to see! I am not certain how to go about it though!
i think first you need to make an DIscord Chanel and then make jam on itch , if you want i can try to help you'
I do have a Discord server, though it is private/Patron only at the moment! It would be pretty cool to see what people do in a Game Jam
first image kinda reminds me of roblox
AMAZING!!! Thank you very much!
amazing
What software did you use to generate these skyboxes?
The skies were made using Terragen 0.9, exported with a script that renders the 6 cubemap faces/angles, and the Panorama versions were made using Flexify 2 from Flaming Pear!
