Clouds above the city Created 17 years ago2006-10-20 17:56:44 UTC by Exos

You remember in the last level of Half-Life 2, when you are in Breens office ontop of the citadel? You look over the city. I already know that the city itself it multiple textures. But how did they do the moving clouds above the city?

Cool, thanks! I'll try that out.

Also you can decompile CSS/HL2 map (cs_office for sample) with clouds and see "live" sample.

That's a prop model actually.

That's what I thought but I thought I'd save myself from looking dumb if I was wrong...

You could also try using a func_dustcloud with a big particle size and set it to "frozen". I haven't tried it myselft though...

looking dumb prevents one from becoming arrogant

There's animated cloud textures for Ravenholm and C17 or other environments. Do a texture filter for 'cloud'. You can just have them on a func_wall in the skybox and they'll animate too, no need for a conveyor. (At least when I tried it.)

Also, the CS:S clouds like those in Office are prop models as Ant said, to be used on a prop_dynamic or something. The texture also animates on those.

Yeah I knew about the cs_office clouds. The ones I was looking at were the ones in the last level where you are in breens office looking down on the city.
