Space Skybox generator (neat resource) I found.

I was searching around online for space skybox generators and I found this nifty little gem.
https://wwwtyro.github.io/space-3d/

Either hit random seed or type one in, and toggle features such as turning sun off/on, etc.

Just figured this could help y’all out. I was trying to find that one program I used to use and found this.

One tip though, once you save the images to your PC and import into Unity I had to make the 6 sided Skybox material and swap the left and right over… So right went to left, left went to right.

Just figured I’d share this.
I didn’t make this, credit goes to Rye Terrell.

Neat. There is (or was) a similar tool in the asset store. It had a lot more options but was slow and bit buggy.

SpaceEngine can make skyboxes. However it is a paid tool, and skyboxes require “pro” version.

Here is the one I was thinking of:

Though it looks like it is deprecated. I haven’t tried it in a while, so no sure if it will run in more recent versions of unity.

Spacescape is another one that works pretty well…it has a lot more complicated settings though, including a full-blown layering system. It is also free.

Nice!

UPDATE:
Ok, so just unintentionally played with that thing for over and hour. It’s pretty awesome.

Hey sorry for not responding back. Lightning struck and wiped out my cable and internet, finally just got it back lol.

But yeah Spacescape was what I was originally looking for. Just found this one to be much easier to just ‘use’. Just a bit more convenient for quick results lol.

No judgement…its one of those cool things with so many buttons that its hard not to get drawn in.

wow that is an insane list!
Still looking for better (than built-in) SSAO in HDRP, though there is an HBAO asset on store…

I have the HBAO plugin and it is highly performant and excellent at dialing in small detail shading or large area AO shadowing as you may find in a dense forest.
