Skybox Problems

[Jonny]

Right im makin the 3d skybox for carpark, ive made like mountains for it, but it never seems to place the map in the middle of the skybox??

ps: how do you make your skybox brush invisiable on the map. So you dont look up and there is a big block.

i think you just have to place the camera in the center of the skybox and for the second problem just put the skybox under your map.

no but if i put it under i get the reflection of my map at the top, and plus ive already dun tht with center.

To line up a 3D skybox with your map, you need to place a sky_camera at (0, 0, 0), then select it as well as some of the geometry of your map. Copy that, paste it in the same position, then scale (CTRL-M) the selection down by the reciprocal of the 3D skybox scale factor--by default, 0.0625.

That'll give you a sky_camera and some geometry that you can place in the 3D skybox to get an idea of where everything in the 3D skybox ought to go.

There was nothing round the map.

ive gt it to show up but its either above my map or below or just wrong.
