Ok. In that picture, each window has 3 elements:

1. Dust motes
2. Light (the 'sky' behind the window) that bleeds out along the edges.
3. The light that you see streaming down (what looks like they could be sprites)



How do you do 2 and 3?

[Cr4ig]

the light streams aint sprite (As far as i know) The way it is useually done is to make a brush tied to func_illusionary and apply this texture to it "cs_italy/culighta" and allign it properly.

If u find a sprite do it that way

and where should u place this brush?

onder ure skybox?

its not the culighta thing, take a look at them.

also... how the crap do i get a light to light up the whole room? lol. i feel like a total idiot, i used to map for half life a lot, youd think id remember this.

either put in more lights or where it has brightness, change the last 3 didgit number higher
