checkered displacements problem

[apocguy]

I have been having problems with displacements, they have a checker pattern over them. I have run cubemaps so I dunno what that problem could be.

Wow. I have never seen that before. But for what it's worth, I think it looks pretty cool lol. What texture(s) are you using?

 

[apocguy]

The texture name is nature/blendground_canyon.
I like the effect as well, but I do not want it on this map. Though if this error can be done with a grass texture someone could make a mini golf map or something.

Is it only that blend texture thst does it? also, it might be a lack of cubemaps(maybe) do the checkers stay fixed on the texture or move around when you do (like a cubemap)

Yeah, some of the textures do that, you'll have to try a different one

The checker pattern is in a fixed position. I have built the cubemaps but I guess I will try to add more.

Edit: I think I found the problem but I am not sure how I would fix it.

*** Error: Skybox vtf files for sky_hydro_01 weren't compiled with the same size texture and/or same flags!
Can't load skybox file sky_hydro_01 to build the default cubemap!

I got that error while building cubemaps.

I know what the checker problem is.

A Texture with a missing normal map will show these checkers

I found this out by accident just amoment ago, I forgot to save my normal map as .vtf

Thats odd, why would a valve texture being missing such a file?

Probably because they didn't end up using it in-game. I had a similar problem with another blend texture. In the end I just made my own .vmt file with the blend I wanted and an appropriate normal map, which solved the problem quite nicely.
