Skybox generator

[landauf]

Introduction

Write a skybox generator to randomly create beautiful space environments (with nebulae, stars, planets, asteroids, supernovas, …)

Goal

It must be possible to save and restore generated skyboxes, maybe an edit function could be useful too.

Implementation

Think about different ways of bringing the skybox into the game (Create a texture set for a 6-sided skybox? Restore all elements in 3D? …) and physical issues (planets should be a 3D model, so save their position; stars cast light, we need them ingame).

Ogre has already skyboxes. Check that code out and think about a generator.

Look at other space shooters to get some inspiration.
