hi! i studied this video and tried on my map! but i could still see under my mountains in the 3d skybox

[rocketrascal34]

@GamingIsFreaky hmm, try moving the 3D skybox far away from your level.

[pigsareit]

Will this also work if i have multiple areas? Like cut off from the rest of the map, just select it all again?

[rocketrascal34]

@pigsareit yes, just remember to select EVER THING you want in the 3D box

[fingerboy18]

That map looks sick! Good job. Are the colors different due to the 3d skybox's light grid not being 1/16 the size?

[rocketrascal34]

@fingerboy18 no, because the 3D skybox was only getting light from the light_env. where as the map was getting it from that, and lights.

This may sound stupid. But I really love your Intro's. A bit over the top, but epic.

[sabbaloko]

ha...genious.

[mrnicosable]

How did you get the police cars?

[joppe1222222231]

my hammer crashes when i do this :(

Why?

[unbrokenjack]

Everyone, enable the Scaling Texture Lock button before doing the 0.0625 transformation. This will keep your adjustments and scales.

[nightshade916]

@t0m4s14 it is easy. Make it func_water_analog and set the moving speed and the direction

[t0m4s14]

you could make a tut how to make rising water like in hl2

[G3org3Master]

For me, the texture automatically rounds up to 0.02 :(  hmph.
