Is there a way to convert a Roblox Skybox into an HDRI? All of the articles that I have read have to do with converting HDRIs to Roblox Skyboxes.

I don’t think you can. An HDRI is a 360 image made up of multiple exposures that are put in a special file type for HDRIs. A skybox only has 6 sides, it’s basically a cube. A camera is used to take a picture of an HDRI at multiple 90-degree angles. Now the skybox is no longer 360, it’s just a cube. That is why you can convert an HDRI to a skybox, but you can’t convert a skybox to an HDRI.
Also, HDRI’s have multiple exposures. I don’t think skyboxes have this.
Basically, think of this like a sandwhich. You can cut off the crust of a sandwich, to make it a sandwich without crust, but you can’t put the crust back.

actually, no. You can convert HDRIS to Cubemap which is what roblox uses. There is a guide somewhere on the forum, although im not sure where exactly.
It can also be done the other way around if you have the 6 cubemap images.(i think)
