@Franzo203 I don't make any videos anymore, but since this is my personal account I log on every day. I'm happy to hear you like my stuff!

Is there a way to create dust. Like 2 cm brown hairs? I tried the tutorials for the dust entity, but i never tried to make it thin, and it takes a while to render maps on my cpu... Also, I never really got the smoothing groups, just knew that pressing any of the numbres would make it have rounder edges.

[Silwerfish]

@BulletProofHumor Yes there is a way to do that, I think it's called func_dustmotes or something like that.

Thanks for learning me how to control the fog in the level! :) Its easier than i thought before. I dont think its necessary, but its definitly cool to make the level look better. :)

nice! but is there a way to create a "smoke granadish" effect?

[Silwerfish]

@ruigoncalves2 There are ways to do something like that, but that's for another tutorial.

Awesome tut, didn't know about the Ingame fog controlling thingy :D

[soldierrob909]

use it as optimazation :D

[Silwerfish]

@soldierrob909 Yes indeed, that's possible if you just use the "far Z clip plane" property. :)
