How to apply the Rift specific skybox?

Hi,

I've made the unity car-tutorial rift-ready (see here).

I want to switch to using the special Rift skybox but don't know how to go about it.

Could someone provide the steps to take the skybox from the rift-unity integration packages and apply them to another scene/project?

Thanks, Adam

    All I did was copy the one from the Tuscany demo. It lost some of the connections so I had to figure out the order of the tiles. I'll try to create a Prefab tonight so anyone can drop it into a project.

    Thanks, sorensilk. That would be awesome if you could create a prefab.

    I figured out how to create a package, so here is the OVRSkyBox, ready to drop into any scene.

    Awesome, thanks for doing this! Very handy to have in its own package.

    I have prepared a script that can be used to generate a mesh of Skybox.

    Fantastic script, I'm sure this will be a big help to many. I've been stretching a single spherically-mapped texture along the inside of a big sphere, but even a 4K texture won't show very good detail doing that, so this script is excellent!

    Great script Nora. Thanks!

    The cubed skybox works fine when running the app inside the Editor, but for some odd reason the skybox isn't visible when run as a build (x86). Any ideas how to fix this?

    *EDIT*
    I tracked down the problem having something to do with the shader generated by the script.
    On my end using the script's default "Unlit/Texture" doesn't work in build. (Works in editor)
    Changing "Unlit/Texture" to "Self-Illumin/Diffuse" gives approximately the same visual effect and works in both editor and build.
