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.

Absolutely Amazing.
Though I'm friends with the creator. I will tell you. I have been watching the room being built and trust me, this is absolutely gorgeous. The builder has painstakingly modeled each little piece and rendered it in 3d, giving it a realistic feeling. Its very atmospheric! In all honesty my words alone can't really describe how detailed and well-crafted this sky box is! The pictures alone don't give it the justice it deserves, you have to really see it in person!
