Looking for infinitely far skyboxes (UT1, UT2004 style)

I have an idea but I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll say it anyway.

What about attaching the Skybox to the players camera and having it move around with the player but have it just move and not rotate. You could have the skybox texture change depending on where you are in space. This would mean that you have a skybox which you as the player will never reach and it would theoretically look the same?

If this game was multiplayer then what about having it so that only the player can see their own skybox, that way other players don’t see players flying around with a huge moving skybox.

Just an idea. Dunno if it would work for you.

This was one of our theories, however we’re currently running into the problem of how to set the render depth of this sphere to be beyond any and all other objects in our worldspace. This would be one of the simplest integrations of the system, and we would appreciate it being this applicable.
