hmprff, I have had this before, but i don't really know how to solve this. I made an skybox 4x4x4 with the room effect in it and all, gave it an nice texure. In the level when i look up i still see the corner lines of the skybox :S

It looks like this:

a thumb for if the picture doesn't show:


Anyone any idea what i'm doing wrong or how i can fix this?

Unwrap it, zoom in and move the lines one or two pixels at a time inwards
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

1.If you go into the texture browser, Minimise the movement down to 1 Pixel (using the [ Key)

2.Select both pixels on the left hand edge, Hold M then hit the right arrow ONCE.

3.Select both pixels on the right hand edge, Hold M then hit the left arrow ONCE.

4.Select both pixels on the top edge, Hold M then hit the down arrow ONCE.

5.Select both pixels on the bottom edge, Hold M then hit the up arrow ONCE.

6.Repeat for all faces.

Dang it Lace beat me by a few minutes.

Or you could just take another skybox from this site that doesnt show lines and apply your textures to it and they will already be uv unwrapped.

Ex: Download this sky, which I can't see any seams in, and load the group into red. Then change the room effects "Effect Type" to "None" then build and apply your textures. Then change the room effect "Effect Type" back to "Sky Room" and build. Now test the map and you shouldn't see any seams...
