Hi!
Where to find some free panaromic scene generating software for sky box. I tried terragen, but the edge is not matching.

What would you do in this case?

Terragen works perfectly for this. I’ve used it many times to create skybox images.
Are you sure you had the camera set up correctly?
There are loads of tutorials on the web on how to create perfect skybox images with Terragen.

I use Persistence of Vision (a ray tracer) and just set up six cameras as six animation frames. You want the field of view to be just over 90 degrees so that you can then inset the texture coordinates by half a pixel when rendering.

Hi!
Can you explain or give me a source how to setup camera to take top and ground view so that it match with other four sides?

I wrote a Terragen script for this: http://www.delphi3d.net/misc/tg_skybox.tgs
