All I can say is... -I can swear on this thing right? Okay. All I can say is: Holy shit, scroll down and look at the screenshots.

Also, this is from a "certian member" of the D3 dev team in that thread:

 

On Topic:

Since it's coming out in a couple days (and some people already have it) I suppose I can tell you the expansion pack has portal skies (which are now implemented in the engine and will be available to mods).

 

I don't know what that means, but it sounds interesting.

I think Bloodrayne's stormy sky looks better, the clouds are much more natural looking in my opinion.

 

Still, it's not bad.

 

Oh, and portal skies are like Unreal based skies. You build a box and fill it up with all your cloud textures and mountains, then you place a cam inside of it and get it to project on certain surfaces. Really awesome looking and effective...I'd recommend upgrading the mod to the expansion pack just for those alone.

What the hell am I looking at here? Those screens pale in comparison to what is happening all throughout this dark mod communitiy... It's 1 dood, who doesn't know if he's gonna wait around for quake 4, or create an entire multi-player mod himself. HUH!?!?!??

T3 uses portal skys. You can always tell them in games, especially in T3 in the docks area where the pagans are - run along the edge where the fence is and look down at the water. It "moves with you" because the portal camera doesn't move, it renders the same thing no matter where you are.

The pics didn't impress me overly much. You must not have seen the sky-globes, Ish.
