L4D: Environment Creation Part 4 - SkyBox

[BUGHUNTER6]

Don't you have to applie a texture of the sky? Or does it automatically put a texture on it?

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@BUGHUNTER6 You have to apply it. Texture name is skybox.

[piepotatosandturtle2]

@WorldofLevelDesign how?

[lildudesvideos]

[TheProDeucers]

[jomata12]

[GrthJhnsn]

im kinda new to this sorry if i sound stupid but when i make the skybox the play in-game its just black??

[Thekapstok]

you probaly typed the wrong name in the properties

[naruto30002]

I have something like that! when i go in game its all weird and its like the skybox isnt there and im looking into the black void ! help!

[WorldofLevelDesign]

You have to be sure you have the proper name typed into the skybox map properites and that you are compiling with HDR turned on.

[naruto30002]

Thanks I got that. but now i cant see fire and smoke and for some reason some props are white and some at lighter then they should be....

HHELP!

[stimms212]

you need to add a cubemap to the map for it to work, you choose the entity env_cubemap, then place it at head height.

Hello!

Thank you very much on all of the tutorials! They have really helped me in understanding how to work in Hammer!

I was wondering is it possible to import a sky texture that you like into the texture library?

[rgj798]

Same, I want a day skybox in left 4 dead

[rsgrufti]

thx alot

[SMDMFer]

Thanks for all the help, your tutorials are much better than others and the manual

[keyonte0]

I always thought having a brush that stretches past where it's seen was better than having a lot of brushes

[Cannon512]

Thanks, Big help

[thesteelside]

I have been using and watching your tutorials and noticed that they barely have any views. Its unbelievable! I've worked in hammer a long time and all of your tutorials make what I used to do easier AND more effective. Things that took me a day take me an hour.

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Thanks man.

I've been trying to get the word out more. Its slowly coming together.

Thanks for the comment man, spread the word if you can. I would appreciate it.

[Gam3Junkie]

Did you create the stone thing with the carve tool? Or is it an entity?

Great tutorials by the way!
