Sun Glow Effect + Comments

[xshogox]

I googled alot to find out how to do the glow effect when you look at the sun. I found nothing. is there anybody who have a DETAILED answer or just a reference.

My comment: It is really hard to find a website with alot of tutorials for cs:s/hl2 . Is it because hl2 is not released yet and an SDK update will tell us how to do these type of things ?

I know skybox/door open/shattering glass/dust particles/physics/water/displacement

now i need to know more stuff!, I passed the entire night to get the basic stuff but now i want to know more things.... the VERC website is not really helpfull, everytime im making a search, i have useless stuff related....

Don't expect many/any decent tutorials for a long time, Can't have tutorials on something people have only just started using.

try placing a env_sun entity...

We should be able to expect an entity guide though. Whats the hold-up?

Heres how i did it, opened up de_cobble, did an entity search for sun, (find the sun entity next to an light_env and an info target) copy them all and mess with them how u like, (the info target is the direction, and different skyboxes have different sun positions (takes some tweaking unless u use cobble sky).

just for the protocol
the effect is called high dynamic range lighting
