Fog Issues and other Gubbinz

soylent robot · Jul 16, 2009

So I'm making this floating in the void map, and I want to use fog to make it seem more cloudy, but there's a slight problem.

The fog doesn't affect the skybox. Is there a way to fix this?

Also some of my overlays and decals have come out black, though I think this may be because I changed my texture quality while in the map.

I think the only way is to make a custom skybox

Did u use HDR when compiled, i had the overlay problem cause of not using HDR...

Do you still have fullbright on? Because I was having issues with overlays not showing up until I added something other than the default lighting.

I do as a matter of fact. This might be the problem, I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks!

For the skybox itself u need a custom skybox,
for the props in the skybox you need to set up the fog properties in the "Sky_camera" entity.

so...sky_camera has its own settings for making fog in the 3d skybox?

yes, but keep in mind that it wont affect your skybox texture only you props inside your skybox

maybe a white brush in the 3d skybox...

Shit yes, u can add a follow white cube with 50% transparency.

And yes, ideally is just to photoshop skybox.
