Angels Isle - Environment

Today I want to share with you all the end result of an amazing opportunity where I got to make a mid-size environment for Leartes Studios. All models are game-ready, and the environment runs at around 120 FPS. The windows are made using cubemaps, for which I also created a documentation for Leartes. I made everything from scratch for this project. Leartes provided me with concepts. The project lasted 4 months. Big thanks to the Leartes team that gave me feedback along the way.

In continuation of this post

I’ve gone the full mile and converted it to a cubemap that Source uses and applied it to my test objects, as well as Scraps here for demonstration purposes.

It works pretty damn well if I do say so myself, my test sphere even looks almost exactly like the original spheremap image.

How the heck do you make custom cubemaps and stuff? I didn't even know you could do that.

Yup! They are featured most prominetly in TF2, like with the Ubercharge, golden items, etc.

As for how I do it specifically (like in SFM), that’s another matter. I was thinking of doing tutorial videos on how I do stuff if enough people are interested and I get enough YouTube Subscribers. ;)

Cubemap Fix I did for the TF2 cubemaps in SFM, includes "Meet the Medic" style ubercharge.

Cubemaps resource and textures maps mini guide

I asked nsk13 how he made his retextures cause I´m very bad at them and feel lost about how to start improving and making what I want...

He (I think he is a he but not sure :D) was kind enough to send me the reply below , some things I already know and others not so much specially the importance of cubemaps and reflection maps.

For Trip outfit I edited an ingame cave cubemap with a purple hue and made a new one from a panorama picture for the Dragonfly. Here is the link if you are interested.
