As I said before move around your map holding CTRL and select the outside boundaries of you map. While doing so navigate around your map and choose the outside boundaries of your map. Make sure the Sky Camera entity is NOT in a solid brush or another entity. Create a Sky Camera entity and place it in the center of your map.
Once your map is completely finished, make sure you have the 3d texture view chosen. This technique takes longer but is worth it because you don't need to worry about leaks. The bigger the Box is, the longer the map takes to compile.Ĭongrats you have successfully created a skybox. Once you have chosen the sky name you want and entered it in the object properties window, click apply.īe sure that you have made the skybox brush a small box that just fits around your map. Click the 3rd option "skybox texture name" and type in the name of the sky you want.(look at the second screenshot) There is tons of choices (sky names) and I cannot list them all! this site can Click the map tab at the top of the screen and select "map properties." This will bring up an "object properties" window. The last step is choosing what you want your sky to look like. Once you have a 3d box encasing your whole map select the box with the sky brush you just made and press CTRL + H and in the textbox that comes up type in the number 12 (the default number is 32) this will make your box hollow.<- Vital Create a box encasing your whole map with the skybox texture.

Once your map is leak free go into the texture browser and type in "tools". (if you have a displacement such as bumpy terrain as a boundary of you map it will count as a leak and you must either delete the bumpy terrain brush or seal it with a nodraw brush.)
When you're completely done with your map check for leaks.(see screenshot one) If you see a leak, close and or seal it off with by expanding the brush(object such as a wall) or sealing it was the nodraw tool. This is the easiest way to make a skybox but takes longer to compile your map. Making a sky benefits your map in many ways, adding mood, realism, lighting and surrounding terrain.
You don't want to have a map without a sky right? This may seem like a daunting task but actually takes no more than a few minutes.
