I discovered a way to create a good skydome texture
with photoshop. Here is my result.

I have two questions:
1- Why is there a limit to 256x256 sized textures
(this texture would look a lot better if it were
higher resolution)? Is it possible we could come up
with a patch to counter this limit?
2- I want to make a sun flare effect (when you look
at the sun the screen will brightened and you'll be blinded
temporarilly). Does anyone know of a cog that can
accomplish this that is already written. I think I saw
something about this a while back but I could just be
imagining things.
If there isn't an existing cog for this I'll see if someone
in the cog forum can whip something up and then we
could post it on the hub in the resources.
