Public Skyboxes by Mr. Chop

Which version of Vue 8 do you use?

xstream

ATTENTION: I got the syntax wrong in all the skyboxes. I will fix them all and let you know when they are safe to use. I am going to remove the skyboxes from garrysmod.org. Sorry for any inconvenience.

awesome stuff man!


wish i knew how to make good hdr skyboxes
but every time i tried to make one it have ended up bad :O

all i can do is a dull skybox in terragen

[city14]

Terragen can make some incredible skyboxes if done correctly, but it's a complicated program and my best was never good enough for me... So I gave up!

[Chopium]

I believe Valve uses(ed) Terragen. They just do a lot of post processing and painting over it.

Updated with all skyboxes fixed and many new ones.

I'm really digging Castover and Lazyday, definitely have some great colors and awesome cloud formations.

By the way, thanks for finishing my skybox for me. I'll gladly send you any other "skeletons" I end up creating, if you want me to of course.


Keep this up man it's great work. The mapping community appreciates it.

Bit of a bump here, I've been getting the error message "Can't load skybox file... to build the default cubemap!" when I try and compile a map with your skyboxes. I know this is due to the skyboxes using different texture sizes for each texture, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way around this?

I've been able to temporarily solve the issue by making placeholder default cubemap files, but Steam keeps deleting those placeholder files :/
Could there be a simple solution like placing a cubemap in the 3D skybox or something?

Code: Select all

downloadEpic("Mr. Chop");
if($done){wait(7h);}
then{addSexy(); orgasm();}
