I worked at Realtime Worlds, maker of Crackdown. In the first week of joining I was privileged to attend a small talk where Hugh Malan explained how he rendered the skybox. It was fascinating, if somewhat over my head. I still think that Crackdown had one of the most beautiful skies—it holds up nearly two decades later.
It seems that Hugh worked on 'Horizon: Forbidden West' too.
