sky_yuki_01 - A snowy mountain skybox at dawn.

Uploaded before the cutoff for the Connect-5 contest. Skybox made with intent for a snowy Japanese setting, but is not limited to such.

Zip includes textures and a VMF containing light_environment, fog, shadow, and tonemap settings.

Would this be considered a "day" skybox? My connect5 line requires a day skybox. And this one would fit my theme and also be nicer than the one I currently have.

From the FAQ Google Doc:
Some maps are clearly in the middle of the day while others are set at night. However, times like dawn and dusk may straddle the line between day and night that isn’t particularly clear where these maps may fall.


To answer this question for yourself, ask this: Is your map primarily lit by the sun, or by artificial lights? If daylight (direct or ambient) is the primary means by which your map is lit, then it’s daytime. If your map is primarily lit by artificial lights, then it’s night.

It's based on the map; if your map is mostly lit by environment and not by unnatural lights like night maps are, you'd consider it daytime (and vice versa for night time).

My intended purpose for this skybox was a map with tall enough trees and such that blocked out most of the natural light, leaving most of the heavy lifting to be done by artificial lights, if that helps at all. I might still be pursuing this map, by the way.
