Skybox

Here are some possible skybox backgrounds for the game. I managed to find a skybox tutorial pdf on garagegames.com, and a short photoshop tutorial on creating nebula. Lens flare can be removed.

I also rendered out a skybox set for the first background. The "down" perspective of the skybox isnt actually seen because terrain should be in the way.All that was needed was a small black dot texture, which was already in the Torque 1.6.1 scriptsandassets/data/skies folder.

Also working on concepts and a model for the Space Dock on the first level. Will post later on.

Galaxy Map

Here is what I've come up with for the "Galaxy Map."

Made using Blender and photoshop, took a few hours, though most of that was spent trying to get the particles to look more spiral like.

Let me know what you all think.
