How would this be done?
Can’t seem to find anything useful on this on the net.
I guess there is a particular focal length that enables the taking of 6 photos (well, 4 to get a panaroma from a tripod) that fit together correctly for use on a skybox?
This may be instead called, taking a 360 photo (not just a stitched panorama image though, this is for display in game on a ‘cube’ or skybox)
Any experience, pointers, links, thoughts, are helpful. Cheers

this will take separate photos and stitch them together http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
and i have a pro only script that will take 4 camera angles and create a skybox hesitant to say that’s not game runtime only editor. Seen some solutions in the forums for panoramic vision systems but that’ isn’t want you are asking for either.
GizmoGradwell: FWIW I have asked this question a few times and found no straight answer. I’ve googled this a few times with the same result. It’s a difficult technical problem. To make a sky BOX, ultimately the original images need to be stitched together into a continuous texture that is placed/projected onto a surface (sphere/dome) and then the images need to be rendered/captured into at least 5 flat images with exact matching seams where the distortion of the image being flattened to the cube is lost when it is rendered back as a skybox. Captures from a camera with 45* fov with precise control for them to match back up again? I have yet to find a good pipeline for this.
The most effective pipelines for making skyboxes that DON’T use original sky footage seem to be environmental processing packages where one can create full environmental skies with control over sky color, cloud shape, etc. - and then these are captured from the package and exported into the skybox textures, but they all seem a little artificial when compared with real photographs.
Lastly, I have considered buying a full 180* fish eye lens and capturing skies in one image with the camera pointing straight up, projecting those on a dome and recapturing the box textures. The best lenses I have found for this in the dSLR range, however, are only 180* along the length of a landscape image, and would require at least two photographs with the camera being spun 180* on the tripod to capture as much data as possible along both axes.
