Introduction This simple step-by-step walkthrough demonstrates how to create custom envmaps for Source! This thread will show you how to capture in-game cubemap images. It will then walk you through the steps to implement those images into our envmap texture. Ultimately, you may use any...

TLDR: I'm making a map of colony 9 from Xenoblade and don't know how to compile .smd files or retexture world geometry in blender. Recently I took up a new mapping project for myself, it will be colony 9 from Xenoblade Chronicles (my favorite game of all time) and in doing so I have had to...
