Still too large, I think. I ran your images of Light Blue Skybox2 through OptiPNG without even messing with any parameters, and it managed to reduce the total size from 4.4MB to 2.8MB. To anyone uploading PNGs, I suggest using this first.[/quote]
Wait, are you saying that the images all together cannot exceed megabyte?

Do you use something like terragen to create those skyboxes? Iāve used it in the past for little vignettes and Iām wondering if I can use it for skyboxes.

Yeah, Terragen v0.9. I use the old version because itās easier to navigate around and such.

Edit: It seems that images are re-encoded after theyāre uploaded.[/quote]
Strangeā¦ In Windows Explorer it says the size is through 400-500KB. Something must be changing the pictures when uploaded. I could just send you the pictures themself.

I was recently changing the brightness of the Light Blue Skybox and I used OptiPNG with the cmd.exe because it doesnāt support 64bit systems. Basically it just reduced size of each image by 6-10 KB. Not much but some improvement. I havenāt tried the one you mentioned yet.
EDIT: On another note, I may make some more skyboxes when I get some spare time away from studio.
Whilst Iām very happy that my skyboxes got featured and people are using them in their games, people keep saying I stole the peaceful morning from Blockland; nope:
Theirs:
Thereās a somewhat similarity in the atmospheric color. But the clouds and style are way different. Iām very peeved that people think I stole from Blockland.
