Title: 3D Fractal/Mandelbulb SkyBox (SkyDome) for Video Games Post by: anassar2010 on January 16, 2011, 08:20:26 PM Good Morning Everybody,
I'm looking for a method for generating a seamless 3d mandelbulb/fractal skybox for a use in video games where there are textures (images): front, back , right, left, top, and bottom sides seamlessly connected to form a box (skybox). Thanks Title: Re: 3D Fractal/Mandelbulb SkyBox (SkyDome) for Video Games Post by: ant123 on February 17, 2011, 11:55:23 AM to me your question is not very clear, a sky box is the distant box of the sky for a 3d map where they put mountains and sky? you want to take a face view of mandelbox fascia and use as texture in a skybox? should be easy! your question sounds like you want to make a 3d engine or a game engine or something.

Your first guess is the one , I want to control the camera view to get 6 images that are seamless textures, i have Mandelbulber and Mandelbulb3d, when I set fovY (field of view on Y) to 90 or 100 I get very approximate results, However it would be much better if there is fovX. In other words, this can be achieved if I can make the camera view Orthographic (not perspective). :) Title: Re: 3D Fractal/Mandelbulb SkyBox (SkyDome) for Video Games Post by: Pauldelbrot on February 19, 2011, 10:18:17 PM I don't think so. What you want is just for the view to be square, right? Try making the image size square, and setting fovY to 90.

The player is "in" this sphere. If you want to map a picture on this surface, you must change the geometry of this picture ! (the dome is non-euclidian.) There are some filters under PS to "spherize" a picture |
