Hey guys, for my 3 stage A&D, I've got it nestled outside and inside of a mountain. For the moment I'm using a Skybox brush to separate the stages, which works for the most part, but there a few spots in one stage where you can see through the brush into the second stage, and then if you move alittle, it'll disappear again.
Keeping in mind that my stage 1 is below and to the left of Stage 2...(U shaped)
- What should I use to hide one stage from the other? Looking at the SDK maps they just use a wall and a Skybox brush, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick for me
- I want a cliff to cover the side of stage 2 that can be seen from stage 1 (in hammer units its about 7000 long, and a height of 1600). Can I put a skybox displacement in between the stages? When I put a 3D rocket in a test skybox ages ago, it was semi transparent when it had level brushes behind it, which got me worried that something similar would happen to displacements.
- When should one begin building a 3D skybox?
Errm, I think thats all for now. Just want to make sure its not all going to end in tears when I get around to the skybox part
