Earlier someone posted a video (>>3368603) about a custom Quake client with various >180FoV rendering methods included. Pretty cool client, but unfortunately very slow when running at 1080p and hardly playable. I wondered if it could be used to load a map, use the cubic projection, and create skybox textures from that, and sure as shit it works.

Only issue is texture size- at 1080p, each side is rendered at around 400px on each side, which has to be reduced to 256px if you don't want it to get auto-squished and look like shit- and that's honestly way too small for a good looking skybox.

Neat concept, though.
