Wow, that looks incredible. No criticisms from me, though I have to ask, how's the optimization going?
On a semi-related note, how awesome would it be if Valve released an update centered around Hammer (not really TF2 in particular, just Hammer) and they fixed all the bugs they created and other such wonderful things.

^^^ I actually made it for cp_redrum over a year ago. Reusing it for this because I like it.
Thanks
It's going fine, actually. I get steady high FPS on my machine, comparable to similar maps (like gorge and yukon.)Honestly, I just want the fucking program to work right now. They picked the worst possible time to futz it up.
How so? I would imagine it breaking during almost any other contest would have been worse. Especially artpass, since their Halloween update was hinging on being able to include its winning entry. Imagine if Hammer broke and didn't get fixed in time for anyone to have a finished map to submit.
EDIT: We've reached 400 pages! Somebody probably cares!

Here's the non-skybox version of that skybox, btw:

I love it. I've always had a love for night skies, and the orange in the distance is so purdy.
Aye the only place you can put an exact circle and not have it look distorted is in the centre of a texture (on the horizon in any of the four compass points or straight up, at zenith)
You're gunna have to skew that moon if you want it to look circular in-game

It looks circular when you look straight at it, it's when it's on the side of the screen it is skewed.
Either way, I don't really know how to fix it. I painted it, but I had someone else convert it to a skybox texture and I don't remember who did it (was so long ago.) So, that's that.

Yeah, I figured that. I just have no idea how to translate my original image to a 2d skybox.

I just happened to have this link handy because I'm about to make a custom skybox.

Ach! Then what am I going to do to make a skybox. Did an upadate break that method or something?

Nah, it's my painting job fault. I didn't paint it with that method in mind, so it looks out of whack whenever I do that. So it's not broken, no. I am. xD
I'd personally have it wrapped really tightly around the bomb, like this:
you get the idea? sort of "Whatever COULD it be?"

make the sides a little more sleigh-like too.
loads of little bomb presents would look good, but probably too many polys
