Hello there!

This is my first in (hopefully) a series of skybox textures you guys can use. This time I made a clear sky on a late night - and used the goldrush sky as a base. Feel free to use this sky but please credit me and/or let me know.

If you guys have any feedback or problems, please let me know.

What's inside the download file (.zip - 334kB)?
  • One folder [sky_goldnight_01]
  • Five .vtf files [sky_goldnight_01xx.vtf]
  • Six .vmt files [sky_goldnight_01xx.vmt]
  • One .vmf file with the recommended lighting settings and entities [sky_goldnight_01settings.vmf]
The template map seen on the screenshots is NOT included in the download file.

How do I use the skybox texture?
It's simple!
  • Put the .vtf and .vmt files in steam/steamapps/yoursteamusername/team fortress 2/tf/materials/skybox (if the skybox folder doesn't exist, make one in the materials folder).
  • Place the .vmf file in steam/steamapps/yoursteamusername/sourcesdk_content/tf/mapsrc and open it in hammer.

I hope you like the sky and enjoy the view!

Looks a lot like morning to me, I imagine the sun has just broken the night sky. But that's no bad thing at all! :D

EDIT: Did I mention it's beautiful?

there's this ugly line vertical seam/line in the skybox, is that intentional on purpose ?

The seam is just a photoshop mistake when i made the montage. But it's not noticable ingame at all! :)

well, definetly late to the punch, but skybox light scheme numbers please? The skybox is beautiful, but the descriptions lack any form of lighting, pitch, and etc.

@coltnweston What you're looking for should be in the download file. Also, since it's based on goldrush (also mentioned in the description), you can always use settings of goldrush as a starting point.
