Custom Sky Textures Created 19 years ago2004-06-28 05:47:16 UTC by henners

I've made some custom sky textures from landscape photographs, changed them into 256x256 8-bit bmps and tgas, but when they display you can tell it's a cube and the corners are really defined. Does anyone know of any kind of image-editing software that can sort this problem out? The standard HL textures look like they've been manipulated so they don't look like a cube.

I had this problem too. I looked around in PSP7 for a while and nothing helped. I will check this thread for help too.

Cheers

You should fiddle it together as one big image first, then cut it up. Make a sort of 'net' of them. If you want, you can e-mail me the pictures (ZIP them) and I'll do it for you

Cool.

Cheers mate. Does one end of the texture need to be at the same level as the other? eg. If i wanted to send you a 256 x 1024 of some hills would the hill on the left need to line up with the hill on the right?

Yes; unless you want the hill to sharply jump up.

So the cliff jumps up...maybe the Black Mesa incident caused some geographic anomalies?
