Thread: High quality skybox problem

Never used the skybox but...maybe deactivate mimapping in the texture?

The skybox distance isn't going to make any difference for resolution. Whether you put the distance to 1 or 10000, it's still going to look exactly the same (provided it's still within your camera's clip distance).

umm, so there is no resolution of the issue. Perhapse i can manually create skybox. I still believe there is somewhere which I can improve the displayed resolution.

The field of view will affect the skybox texel size. By default Ogre creates cameras with a 45 degree vertical field of view (top to bottom, not from the middle). This means it is zooming in on just part of the skybox. If you set the vertical fov to 90 degrees, then one face of the skybox should perfectly fit vertically on the screen. Although that might look strange, usually setting the ...

The texture keyword in a material script has a numMipMaps parameter, but the cubic_texture keyword doesn't.

In the texture unit, use: Code: Select all filtering none That turns off mipmapping.

Yeah, I was looking at that. But that does more than turning off mipmapping, doesn't it? It would also affect how we interpolate the texture magnification for example.

In the code you can get the Texture object of the material (before loading) and set it up to only use 1 mipmap level. The other generated by default won't help anyway as the distance will never change.
