i have seen some when zoomed all the way out, they are 1/4 of the whole area (16000x16000), and some that are little tiny boxes with clouds in them.(128x128)
i remember reading somewhere that theres a certain size they should be for most cases. i dont remember but it was like an average size for an average map..........
It doesn't make a damn difference what size they are. If it's a 256 cube then the textures will fit well, but outside of that....
Say, aren't you done with mapping?

Most of my skyboxes are 512 X 512 X 512.
.
But like others say, it doesn't matter what size or even what
shape it is. Just use whatever works for you. But keep in
mind that the skybox and play area don't go by the same scale.
Therefore you don't have to make the skybox big enough to
cover the entire play area. Have seen that a few times before.

** http://lxixgto.tripod.com/lxixgto/ ** I make mine 128x512x512
make them longer wider than higher and I like to keep them small to save space for the map itself. But size really don't matter .... just proportion imho

well as I said size isn't really important... *lengthy pause* .... just so long as its proportion right... I make 'im longer and wider than tall so that it actualy appears go off a distance before hitting the horizen.
