He probably just got really confused when he read about the construction of skybox model buildings. VALVe blocked those out in Hammer in full size (16x final), imported them into Maya/XSI, added details, and then uv'd them.


then may i suggest this is not a "usefull level design article" so it sohuld be removed.. i found it rather unusefull.. but maybe thats just me
