Where can I buy photos for skybox ?

KenTso · 13-01-2008, 11:13 AM

Hi all,
My boss asked me to find some skybox pictures for our company's new game. I tried the words "Skybox", "panoramas" in Google search but I can only find little resouces.
I have tried seraching in getty images but it seems to me that the pictures are not suitable for a skybox.
And the current situation is that :
-My boss will not hire someone/let any colleague to take the pictures.
-My boss will not hire someone/let any colleague to draw the pictures.
-My boss will not hire any company to take the pictures.
-My company will only buy all rights-ready/all royalty-free pictures.

What I am looking for are some cities' pictures, eg, New York's nightscene, Vatican's sunset, etc.
Do you know where can I buy these skybox photos? Please help !

Take a look at 3D total, i know they sell texture packs.

Wow. Your boss sounds like a total nub - Maybe you should just tell him to take his own photo's and to stop being such a knob.

Google searching for panorama's might help.

Maybe this is what you're looking for:
Panoramas Stock Photo Images. 7621 Panoramas royalty free pictures and photos available to download from over 100 stock photography brands.

Panoramic Stock Photography Panorama stock photo High Quality Panoramic stock images | World Panorama Stock photography

Also, Ebay has a stock photo category that might be worth a look.

Indeed. Dont think he knows the first thing about running a studio.

Your boss is so interesting!

Ask your boss to buy you a flight ticket, shoot photos yourself would be more effective and economy.

LOL
Thanks all of you.
I may try to propose my boss to shot the photos by himself. LOL.

I have tried 3Dtotal before but it seems to me that they are not suitable.
Thanks DooFi, you gave me a good website.
glynnsmith and sarge mat, LOL, I agree with you.
