Good day to all of you.
I’m making a fragmovie and I need to create skyboxes for several maps, but I haven’t done it before. I read this tutorial ( http://www.pldx.com/blog.php/2009/08/team-fortress-2-skyboxes/ ) but found it quite difficult to do. Plus i think that learning how to work in a programm for a single project is a bit unreasonable :). And I have some problems with Terragen. Is there anybody, who can help me, or make skyboxes for me? Unfortunately I can’t pay for your work or give anything in return. All I can do, is put your name in the credits of the movie. If you can and want to help me, you can contact me just by clicking the link below.

The thing is that this tut doesn’t show how to work in Terragen. It would have been much more helpful if it show how to create a skybox from scratch. Then people could just follow the example and make their own adjustments.

I think it’s a bit unreasonable for someone else having to learn to make skyboxes for someone else. You should be happy that someone even bothered to write a tutorial for this.

The tutorial does show how to do it from scratch, did you even read through it?

Why can’t you use the pre-made ones found on fpsbanana?

I’m not asking anyone to learn it instead of me. I’m searchnig for a person who has already learned it and can consult me or just do it for me.

maybe because I don’t want to? Haven’t thought of that?
The tutorial does show how to do it from scratch,
eh… nope. it says ” You can either download premade skyboxes at FPSBanana or make them yourself in Terragen” and after that there are two links to the tutorials. so the only information given here is how to install an already made skybox. and the terragen tutorials from the “valve developer community” drops a lot of details that are necessary to understan how the program works.

from where all this anger comes from? I’m only asking for help.

the point of the tutorial is to help you create skyboxes and is most likely the best help you’re gonna get. I really doubt anyone can help you better than the tutorial. If you do it yourself you will get the skyboxes just as you want them.

I totally agree, but what I’m trying to say is that _the_process_of_creating_a_skybox_from_scratch_ isn’t shown here. Or it is shown but no clear enough for me to understand. That’s why I’m looking for somebody who can help me. I followed Genmixs’ advice and tried to search for Terragen tutorials (shame on me for not doing this in the first way >_< ) and I found msthavocs’ tutorials ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVq_N-bzXs&feature=PlayList&p=C4D8D5E4E096353D&index=0 ) . But I still have some questions. Is there any way to make a skybox without rendering the landscape? Here’s an example ( http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/b/b2/Advanced_sky_terragen_2.jpg ).

please, give the sky replacement a rest.
one guy did it, then everyone follows suit. create something of your own kkthx.
the theme of my movie requires custom sky. I’m not doing it just because everybody else does it. as i said before it’s for a single project only.

You will get flamed if you mention competitive gaming, 6v6, or ETF2l though, so keep it on the downlow.

Nah, just say you need it for a frag movie and it should be all good. Better being honest. :)
Why are some people so hostile :S

It really depends how you say your thing. If you are hostile yourself towards public gaming or mapping itself, you are getting bad response. It’s common pubs vs comp then. Don’t feed the trolls, on either side. Just remember to be polite to them.
