Can anyone create a skybox out of this image?

Seems kind of hard with just one image

Skyboxes contain a total of 6 separate images, left, right, front, back, top, and bottom

All you need to do is to map that texture to a sphere or something. Then tile it a few times.

It looks pretty obvious that it's been tiled.


What should it be called? Pumpkin Mountain like it's file name?

I think i'll have a stab at it

I believe it's called "Pumpkin Hill" from Sonic DX.
My game would always crash at this zone.

That'd be great.
Yes it'd be called pumpkin mountian.

lol guys this is from Pumpkin Hill in SA2
you should probably call it that

I figured that out after searching Youtube for it

Anyway, the skybox looks quite ugly, the ground hides too much of the hills, so i'd have to loop the skybox's image more in order to add more black below the image to raise the mountains above the ground

But even then, it looks weird because it's literally a box, i don't know how to do that fancy rounded skybox thing Demian does, but i recall him saying it had to do with Blender (which i tried to use and failed miserably at)

Also, the skybox in SA2 had more variations of the hills, angry pumpkins, sad pumpkins, etc, sure this one image loops fine, but it's still missing pieces and thus lacking variety, so that looks weird, but it can be put up with

the thing is though pumpkin hill had this as the background as well as those big pumpkin models
plus the game is from 01 so not as high res

Oh there are more images? If I had those I could do the skybox in about an hour.

Apparently pumpkins with other expressions are mostly the modeled ones, but there are still other pieces to the skybox

Sadly, the one in the OP is the only one i can find anywhere

I ripped the textures from the game but there is only one extra image. It doesn't work too well since the images are so low resolution.
