hello, I came here from Russia to learn something new! I'll make it clear right away! I am grateful to you! Wish there were more people like this on the planet!!

[DeltaDoesGarbaj]

Ty! Fixed one of the biggest issues in pretty much my first ever map. I'm forever grateful :)

[Karakooka]

this tutorial is very helpful for me using hammer for the first time, thank you so much 😊

[wknd]

This tutorial is nice and easy to understand.. and helped me fix my vis flickering issue while creating a CS2 map, sealed up the leaks. Thanks man

[mariohugo]

Thank you so much, i started White Hammer yesterday and thanks to your tutorials i now know the basic things, greetings from Argentina

[tiredcat]

that was surprisingly helpful, thanks you

[tylowX]

ive been wondering why my maps had no lightning, i had to get a skybox and add a light

[gabeworks_]

Bro, mine stays with the same desert background and I can't change it
Do you know what might be the problem?

[Smashy]

My skybox is so buggy it duplicates everything self

[EliGearsCo.]

why dont i have a 2d skybox texture
im making it for black mesa, that might be part of it?

[arcanefella]

What if I want to make own custom skybox with my own uploaded image?

[opizzaa]

guys do NOT make hollow. this creates so many leaks, love this guy and his work because this video helped me but please if you are going to make this make sure to just do each wall seperatley if you are serious about making this map. like he says, it's for the sake of simplicity yes but if you want to make a hefty map, it will create so much unnecessary data in the map files, love this guy though and he deserves more credit for this video

this is quite useful, thanks for the info, and get to 10'000 subs, here i'll help with that goal!

[braveclem]

But how can you remove the fullbright from a map that has the skybox visible?

[MrCrocTTV]

I did a skybox around my entire map and it seems I'm not getting leaks anymore.

[alonzohedgehog]

thank you so much my crappy noob maps are looking better already

[koolaid]

skybox wont show up, everything stays black

[dburger]

Can you please make a tutorial for massive maps?

[RebelTankX]

Is "skyname" the same as "Skybox Texture Name"? I am a bit new to the hammer engine.

if.... I want to do this in Portal 2... Do i need Half life 2?
