The Stank "Space Dorm" is a small (15x15, or ~32x32 for the stars and reflection) sci-fi skybox with a view of the stars. Nearly every texture includes baked lighting or reflections, and there are many built in sounds to complete the experience of being on a space shuttle. The room is unfurnished, with the exception of a built-in shelf and a built-in booth where two avatars can sit. The door to the skybox also slides opened and closed in the event that you want to add the skybox to an existing build or home.

There is a very realistic reflection beyond the window (not just some flat "reflection texture") on the backdrop of stars moving by. The starfield and reflection are both separate objects, so feel free to choose your own backdrop instead. The window can be opened or closed, depending on how much light you like in the room (the floor texture will change).

Updates are obviously free for life, and can be obtained through the user menu.

Clicking on the computer terminal brings up the user menu, with the following options:
-Air Duct - toggle the sound and particle effects coming from the air duct near the door
-Tutorial - toggle floating tooltips that show what you can interact with. This is on by default.
-Update - checks the server for any updated versions. Do this every every few months or so. This will also happen automatically when you rez the skybox.
-Info -Info about the system and an easter egg :Q__
-Store - link to my Marketplace storefront
-Door - sets the door open delay (5,10,15 seconds)
-Sounds - ability to change sound volumes for every sound you hear without modifying any scripts
-Shutters - ability to open and close the window, depending on your mood
-Access - change who has the ability to modify the above settings as well as to open the door ("Access" and "Update" will still only be available to the owner)

BONUS: Now includes a 35-prim detailed and dark sci-fi hallway. It is modular, seamlessly loop it in either direction to create your hallways connecting rooms or insets for computer terminals, etc

I visited a friends place and they had this. I was so taken by the quality I had to get one myself for a little hide-away above my store. The detail is just fantastic with all the proper shadows and reflections. I had to double take with the reflection box as I thought it might have been my monitor actually having a glare issue!

This is perfect for someone like me who just wants a little place to escape to now and then and doesn't need some massive multi-room house in the sky.

A few things worth noting.
1. Some of the scripts are no copy, so you can't take a back-up of your setup (like if you attach the hallway)
2. If you chose to use the hallway attachment, there is an archway on the hall you will have to remove or you can't get through.

This skybox is the most realistic i´ve seen so far. Brilliant light- & shadow work, photorealistic textures and this tutorial trough menu was realy helpfull.
Some objets are seperated and in separate packages, this makes modifications much easier.
Great work, keep up making builds like this one ^^

After living in this lovely little space station for almost a month, I am still completely amazed every time I TP home! It is wonderfully detailed and the texturing and lighting are so beautiful! Opening the window shutters for the first time and seeing all of the twinkling stars and the intricately-done reflection was a remarkable experience!

I did purchase it during the introductory, reduced price, but the quality and detail of this skybox make it a worthwhile purchase at any price! <3
