Is it possible to make multiple 3d skyboxes and have different sections of the map connected to different skyboxes?

Say for instance you have 2 sections of a payload map and you want the 2nd section to give the illusion of being somewhere else entirely could you do that? Or would you need to basically just create walls seperating different sections of the 3dskybox to block off the view of stuff from the previous section and create the illusion of two different locations.

I'm not entirely certain I understand your problem, but could it be that your skybox is not exactly 1/16th scale so the part that is too small is interfearing with the map itself?

Forgive me if I misunderstand I also am new to map making and have not set up 3d skyboxes yet but I thought I could try and think of potential problems you may have not thought of. <.<

That happened to me too, IIRC it was a leak. compile and load a point file and check.

AH, I assume you know compile. Press f9 for that. Then when you are in hammer, go to the tool bar and select Map > Load Pointfile. You will see a red line that leads to a leak in your map. Just need to repeat and fix until all the leaks are gone, which is annoyingly tedious >_<
