Hi-Res Skybox Image Pack

[sevin]

I can't count the number of times I've wanted a high-res skybox image but couldn't find one and had to extract each tile of the skybox image from the source files and stitch them together in Photoshop to make them. I thought some other people might benefit from high-res skybox images for use in banners, SFM projects, Photoshop collages etc. so I decided to stitch all of the source files for each skybox together, upscale, sharpen, and fix seam errors to create this pack.

Included in this pack are all 25 skyboxes currently in use in TF2 in .png format. Every image has a resolution of [B]8192x1024[/B]. Each image has been slightly edited to ensure sharpness and seamlessness of the stitchings. Hopefully you guys will benefit from this as much as I have enjoyed making it! Here's the wiki's [URL="http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/List_of_skyboxes"]list of skyboxes[/URL] for reference, if you need it. The readme includes a link as well.

Here are 5 previews:

So that's good for rich computer players then with 9999 resolution screens ? :v:

Thanks for pointing out the typo :downs:

Might be an idea to undistort the sun and moon?

That's the way they are in the actual skyboxes, as you'll see on the reference page. I didn't want to alter any actual geometry of the images.

Almost scary i was looking for this exact thing yesterday.

What other mirrors could I post to? I feel like this would be useful for quite a few people as well.

EDIT:
And while were at it [URL="http://imgur.com/a/B8jPV"]here's some slightly higher-res, sharper alpine ones.[/URL]

Great job with the Harvest moon. I had done the other two already and was deliberating on how to correct Harvest's.

EDIT:
Where on earth did you get those?

Do you happen to have any before & after images to compare with?

this isn't a mod it's reference material, the only difference is it's assembled and upscaled.

This isn't a mod!?
It fucking SHOULD be

...what?

[sevin]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;44040302]...what?[/QUOTE]

I think he means to replace the skybox source files with this, which isn't possible all stitched up.

*bad reading*

These are actual in-game skyboxes scaled up and stitched together to make neat pictures. Reversing the process would be pointless and probably wouldn't even look as good as source material.
