ok that makes alot of sense thankyou so much

It's actually fairly simple; I use this as a guide for doing it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/3D_Skybox#Construction_of_3D_skyboxes

The only things I'd like to add are that:

1) You should make sure that the edges of the actual map (ground or walls) are aligned perfectly to the grid at scale of at least 16 units . If memory serves, I used scale of 32 for this map, which allows things 3D skybox to be snapped to scale 2 grid.

2) If you use displacements, make sure that the outwards edges are flat and are aligned to the aforementioned grid; in addition, make the displacements so that their dimensions are divisible with 16 (1024x1024, 512x512, etc) - this will make aligning them in the 3D skybox easier. In addition, do NOT use power 4 displacements.

hey Jurttu i have a hammer question for you, im working on a map myself and wanted to ask how you got the main floor of the map and the skybox to be flushed perfectly with eachother if you can add me so we dont end up clogging up the chat i would appreciate it but if not thats fine i would just love to know how you did it

please and thankyou

i mean like doing animations and stuff

I don't allow reuploads of my content, sorry.

what if we do it for our selfs ?

I'm currently not planning on making alternate versions of these maps.

Can you make a version that DOESN'T require a manual update?

Not bad

Can't say it was - I don't think the show has ever aired where I live. The main house was mildly inspired by Pleasant Valley Farmhouse from The Long Dark, while the hangar is a product of my own imagination.

Would this happen to be inspired by courage the cowardly dog? seems quite similar to the Bagge's residence, the outside at least

My bad: I forgot to mention that you need to manually update your SFM content to see the textures. I've added a link to a guide in the description, but I'll post it here as well: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=234952643

Make sure you follow the guide to the letter.

not to mention house basement is all missing texture

purple textures in the house and in the barn

some of the textures are missing on the main house
