Obviously it easyto make a sky texture with no fealure just a simple star pattern seamless. I want to use the dynamic sky and add some pzaz to the night sky with high resolution images of the milky way. I tried a few approaches so far using 2D textures, but because of the way the image wrpas I run into some issues where different corners meet each other. So question 1 is can I use a skybox as the star map instead of a 2d texture and have it still be dynamic.

Take a look at what I have thus far:

Sorry about your pic getting deleted, you posted at the same time that we lowered the byte threshold for attachments. Which is now 512kb. If you could post again with a smaller size.

That is okay!

Anyway any ideas this is all fairly new to me.

You'd most likely have to write a specific system to handle astrological setups like that. Skydomes are static, and the dynamic night sky backdrop is a folded single texture.

I ended up going with something that can be tiled for now, perhaps I'll come back to that later. HeroEngine is intuitive and fun as heck though I must say.

This is what I ened up doing for the sky, plus some of my textures grass and a tree!

a completely insane and possible dumb option, but what if you made a cloud layer that was static and have it's texture be the one for your milky way ban. Thinking 1 cloud, static location high up.
