skybox

First post, woo. Im desperate at this point, didnt think i'd have to ask for help. So, ive been working on a western map, its my first time using Hammer, and so far everything was fine. But the map started loading as previous versions ever since i started playing with the skybox. Im still not...

I whipped this up for someone in Discord last mapping contest and now someone else was looking for the same on Reddit. Uploading incase anyone else needs it and wants a shorcut. What you get is a single small resolution solid black VTF and the required VMT files to use it as a skybox. Skybox...

Hello there, I've recently added a skybox area to my map and since then everything went a bit weird. The 3D-skybox only contains the sky_camera entity, light_environment and a disabled func_brush which gets enabled with a button. However soon after adding I ran into multiple problems. 1. The...

I'm new to map making and I've just created my first one but I've run into a wall. Any time I decide to run my map it brings up the grey background screen of TF2 and closes out without going further. Ive checked for leaks which there are none and have been around several threads but I can't...

I wanted to make a simple 3d skybox with only the tree card prop, but there is no scaled up version so I don't know where to place them in relation to the rest of the map.

im using the texture nature/blendrockgroundwall003 and mostly combined with nature/blendrockground005. but its really visible that those are not the same texture because the nature/blendrockgroundwall003 is lighter then the other one cause of the %ssbump in the script. But that not the problem...

Introducing So, I was inspired by 3kliksphilips video and decided to create my own guide... to how make your map more... beautiful. Disclaimer I am not professional mapper, all of these just my thoughts, advices and knowledge. Lighting Lighting is the one of the most parts of the map. One of...

This is my first working TF2 map I've created that actually works as a gamemode. As you can see, I attempted at making an aircraft map (it doesn't really look like one at the moment) and you will definitely die if you walk off it. There are walls (surprised?) to prevent pyros from...

Hello everyone, I'm new to mapping and I wanted to implement a skybox in my map, so I set it up, but for some reason, the skybox was showing through all objects between it and the camera. Has anyone else had this problem? if so, can it be fixed, and how?

Hello, people. I was casually making a map, and then I decided to test it. After compiling the map, I saw THIS. I'm not new to Hammer, in fact I'm mapping for about 2 years or so, but this is the first time this issue occured. I should notice that its HDR Compile, but I tried to recompile with...

Looking for a skybox version of the waterfall model. Has anyone ever used it? Does it even exist? I have no clue how easy it is to make. Any help would be appreciated :)

I have to boxes the big "map" and the tiny "skybox". Normaly you place a sky_camera inside the "skybox".however this happens ive done the same thing with the sky_cam in a new map and there everything works.

Hello, I'm making a space themed Attack/Defend Map, I'm trying to look for the skybox from rd_asteroid but I can't find it. Does someone know the name?

So, I was detailing sharkbay, i added roofs and stuff to many buildings so there are not flat anymore and I added some details as well, i thought this area close to the spawn needs to have a fence overlooking outside to give it a feel of depth. I run the game but i notice the skybox leaks BUT...

Why do some skyboxes look like this https://imgur.com/vMJcbgy (sky_night_01) While others look like this? https://imgur.com/GcemcZ4 (sky_morningsnow_01) How do I make it that the skybox doesn't just repeat itself after the lower boundary has been reached, and instead stretches downwards...

Hi, I am a recent tf2 mapper and I have been having problems with the hammer editor being unable to find the skybox whenever I am compiling the map. Additionally it also is saying it can't find the surfaceprop rock/wood material for some things, I was wondering what that was about that. It also...

I know that this map has already been uploaded by a different account, but I'm using my new account this time.

I'm new to mapping and currently building my first map. I wanted the spawn area to take place outside but the setting isn't completely suitable to surround the area with skyscrapers like in Kong King for example. I really like the effect on Dustbowl where it looks like the map is way bigger than...
