Rather than having hard shadows everywhere like CS:GO (or any modern game because realism) you can still have shadows that look a bit washed out (no hard edges), kinda like the current lightmapped shadows (which are also a bit washed out looking without hard edges and lots of contrast between something in shadows and something in direct lighting), right? But still be way better than the current blocky-ness of lightmapped shadows.
I don't think Source has a way to blur the cascading shadows, no. But apparently Black Mesa does.
Yup, the soft shadows option. It takes so mich fps away it actually crashes the game on my system.
I like the concept but I think the art style is way too off from tf2 (not that any powerhouse skins fit tf2). If you could change the pixel style to more cartoon style with no visible pixels, it will work nice.Jumping on the bandwagon, and working on a weapon skin.
Give me feedback! This is still a WIP and I need to make some changes. Giving me feedback can help me find problems I might have overlooked!
imo the white does not mix with the brown and green well, I'd try to use some other color for thatMy first "serious" weapon skin:
Bonus bread!
I chose a poop skin for testing the look of it because civic duty has pretty small pattern scale, but its something...
Do you know the correct way to align the skybox, or are you just guessing?
Managed to match Kalinka last interiors precisely to the 3D sky.
Really ties the whole thing together once you match the skybox to the world geometry.
Heres the skybox seam:
If you create your 3D skybox geometry at a regular scale first along with the rest of your map, put the sky_camera at the map's origin, select the camera along with the geometry, and then shrink it by 1/16, everything should align with the playable map.
