More so just operating a skybox.
I'm making a map, new one for me, and I think I have most of it on my own. I just can't figure out how to make a skybox.
It's for a tf2 map.
Not sure how fruitful this thread is.

I used to know all about this shit, but I haven't touched the SDK since I moved to OS X. Is it just a skybox (clouds and shit) or a 3D skybox (buildings and the like) that you want?

I would assume 3d since 2d skyboxes are easy as fuc

I know nothing of 3d skyboxes and all my attempts fail miserably. However I can teach you about carving.

IT"S THE FUTURE

Use the tool_skybox texture, change the skyboxe's material with Map Properties. use the sky list:

Yeah, it looks pretty cool, work on the textures though.

Yeah it's nice, but it looks a bit flat to me.

In that case, don't screw up on displacements and remember the Subdivide tool is your friend.

Got any screenshots so far?
