Hi, im desperate to create a 80’s synth style sun like this in power drive 2000.

i dont know if its done through unreal engine or photoshop but just no idea where to start.

you will need to make a new skybox to get an effect like like. or im sure you can probably find once online. to see what i mean check the skysphereblueprint that is in the base levels.

I would like to know how to do this too, I am working in a level that takes place very close to the sun, so the sun is huge! I want to put in a huge image of the sun with sun spots and flares, but I don’t know how. I found some nice public domain images I can manipulate in GIMP, but no clue how to get the final result into the skybox sun.

Here is a nice quick guide on how to make your own skyboxes:

Hope it helps.
