Sky Box Blues

I'm making an AoS set in the sky/clouds, and I want the sky as my background.

I've gotten as far as alpha'ing out the terrain, but now the black base of the sky box is staring at me.

With the default game camera zoomed in it goes away completely, but that's no way to play a strategy game.

I tried to rotate the sky box itself using Magos, but then it just fails completely.

So please help me, how do I remove that black thing?

You can't remove what doesn't exist!

You'll have to make your own delightful skybox with a base.

My original attempt duplicated the top, but that looked like cock and I didn't understand how skyboxes worked back then. >:)

you could try placing a large plane underneath the map.

I was hoping for an easy way, but I guess that means I'll have to learn a bit of basic model making :/

as i said before, try putting a plane the size of the map underneath your transparent ground.

What is with people correcting my grammar suddenly? Within the last 2 days, at least 1 person from each of the forums I post on, has corrected me. School is out, give me a break!

Hijack my thread more please.

Back to the topic at hand, isn't there perhaps a kind soul that would like to make me a mapwide platform with the LordaeronSummerSky texture?

Or maybe someone that knows of a sky box with a base?
