SkyBox with generated pictures

Excuse the next newbie question please. Is it possible to define a skybox with pictures that are generated in runtime without saving them first?

By modifying ITexture.cpp in Irrlicht.NET you can lock the textures and modify directly the pixels... I wrote several methods but running very slow...
Even if I'm sure that it would be easier if you save the picture before.

Make a new sky box with the different texture! Make an itexture and set the new texture to it! Then make a new sky box modifying the side of the sky box you want to modify! Or if you want a render to texture! Then create a render to texture and use it on the side of the sky box you wanna use it on!

uffz, both seems quite - hard to do. But i think i will simply save some temporary files. this wont be the fastest way, but it doesnt matter for it only has to be done while the scene is loading anyway. thank you :0)
