Obviously i see other problems,but the skybox is good.

Tested on a macBook Pro under VMWare with Windows XP SP3.

I will test on a Mac Mini booted on Windows XP SP3.

And I will test with another skybox too.

Tested on the same macBook Pro, with mac OSX.5.8 : same lines with different skyBoxes.

With Windows XP on my mac Mini, with its G945 chipset, I can't test, because, after I added a skyBox, as soon as I look around, the app crashes.

See other skybox on Mac OSX :

@Nicolas - Whats the video card you seeing this on?

@Tom - On Windows, it is under VMWare 2, so it's a virtual graphic card.

On the same machine, a MacBook Pro, under Mac OSX.5.8, it's a Geforce 8600M GT with 512MB.

First off it looks like its not properly bilinearly filtering across the cubemap faces... thats a cubemap by the way.

For a "virtual graphics card" i'm more likely to believe its a bug in their emulator. I'm not gonna chase that one down.

The Geforce 8600M GT is a pretty good laptop card... would think it should be working correctly there. So thats a good place to start looking.

What is strange is that it works properly on most all cards... so i'm at a loss for whats going on with these particular machines. I'm guessing its not doing a bilinear filter across those faces.

Yes, my feeling was the same : a bad 'anti-aliasing' on the edges.
