Croteam, the developers of the Serious Sam franchise of games asked me to create a skybox environment for an upcoming game(sorry can't say which, NDA!). I made a sky cube of six faces at very high resolution of a view from high above the clouds over a mountain range.

Leap Motion (is an American company that manufactures and markets a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to a mouse, but requiring no hand contact or touching) approached me to create a set of 360 degree sky cubes for their "natural sculpting" application called FreeForm. I created a set of 6 very high resolution, seamlessly tiled, 3d natural environments which sit behind the modeling applications interface at all times.
