So instead of resizing, mirroring and cropping an image to try to make a good sky sphere I decided to write this small tool. Simply load any file, select the most interesting area and the center of the image and it will do the rest.

It is written in C# so you will need the .NET framework 2.0 (or Windows Vista, Windows 7). If you want the source code just tell me.

Update 1:
  • Now it actually reads the custom sizes you type
  • Image borders can be blended so your sky sphere doesn't have visible seams
  • Can directly write the skysphere to Audiosurf's texture folder

Update 2:
  • Added an option to mirror the image (selected by default, images with text should look correctly now)
  • Should find Audiosurf even if you installed steam outside of %ProgramFiles%

Update 3:
  • Added buttons to reset the textures to their default value
  • Redone the user interface

Update 4:
This doesn't add new features, it just fixes a typo and adds some minimal cosmetic enhancements.

Currently you can only select from the predefined resolutions list. I will update it so you can actually type the size you want.

Previously you could type anything you want in the resolutions text box and it was ignored  Grin. See the first post for the new and improved download.

From what I tried, you can grab the edges of the box and adjust it as you want.

In any case, this is pretty awesome.

This tool is awesome but why should it be needed in the first place? Why can't Audiosurf simply tile/mirror/resize the image by itself? The program is only 22.5KB so it can't be too hard to add - can it?

btw - well done fergtm.
