Feature #1155
3D model for the sky
100%
Description
It would be neat to be able to replace the default sky
sphere with a 3D model. The accuracy of MD2 models is
insufficient, though. Perhaps implementing MD3 support
would help...

If the sky 3D model was sufficiently detailed and large, it
could be used to present actual 3D architecture that moves
with the camera. Even in a 1:1 ratio. Although that would
probably slow things down, because the sky would need to be
quite detailed. And then there is the question of the skin:
more than one texture is definitely needed. Allowing
multiple sky models would help in both cases.

Isn't this pretty much how Unreal did the sky?

I think the sky sphere should use enviroment mapping. Like in
Quake3/HalfLife etc.

I agree, the skies would look very NICE if someone created
the textures for the games..
