3D landscape skybox concept

[alexandrovich]

I made a crappy and simple 3D landscape skybox as a concept of how the map would look without those 2D mountains
(See pictures)

This is a concept/idea

i dont understand why you want everything to be 3d mate, you've made a few of these now and what i keep saying is let it be until v6.
2d is fine as it by my own opinion and probably many others, also half the server has disabled skybox and etc.

I am not imposing my idea, just giving the devs a picture of how it would look like

Looks really nice. Now we just need someone to redo the ugly ass "PARALAKE" sign on top of the skybox building near fire station!

hes just expressing his interests through a community which he is apart of, maybe if you did the same you wouldn't be such a negative asshole.

another quick one "what i keep saying is let it be until v6." im sure he could give less of a fuck about your opinion than you do his posts and as if you have a say in anything for all you know they could be taking his ideas and concepts into consideration and implementing them into something.

no need to call me an asshole when im just expressing my own meaning, i dont want to more performance loss mate, so no need to call me and asshole thats just weird

dont be an asshole then, being so negative over something that someone has clearly spent a lot of time making.

are you fucking crying over im expressing my own meaning? sure it looks fkn good mate i never said something negative to the dude i just said i would prolly wait till v6/peformance fixes, youre actually delusional

' dont understand why you want everything to be 3d mate' - Passive aggresive / condesending

'you've made a few of these now and what i keep saying is let it be until v6' - Narcissistic

'2d is fine as it by my own opinion and probably many others' - just stupid implying you know what "many others" want by this harmless post

you have an attitude problem. mate.

No more pls so we don’t have to lock the thread

FYI: 3D models perform better than map brushes/terrain, especially when they have no collision

Having my 3D model idea would also take away brushes/terrain from the map improving performance

I'm expressing my opinion here which might be helpful too. Your SPAG needs some work.

Bros just created a 17 month delay on v6

Cool looking skybox man id much prefer that over what we currently have

models are worse than brushes for performance

source: look at the tuscan map for csgo lol

Vrad likes models more than brushes and so does vvis and you know it (especially low poly vertex lit models)

The only issue here would be entity limit

As much as I think this is cool... As it was mentioned before.. Half of the server's E-Sports population has r_3dsky set to 0 for many reasons:
- FPS
- More visible where the rendering ends and where the map ends

Therefore as much as this addition would be dope to have, I don't see any added benefit over the 2D stuff we have now. It's Gmod after all...

Maybe you should look into the lamps prop limit at Bazaar instead of telling players to r_3dsky 0

I don't think you understand my point.

I'm saying most players run this command as it boosts overall performance, not just a region of the map and gives you an advantage in terms of seeing your own render distance much easier as well as the map's boundaries. A lot of us simply got used to it and feel weird seeing the skybox... Just feels off.

Additionally, I don't like the skybox because it gives me a false sense of what can be explored, in an open-world game.

that isn't even the problem that causes performance issues at Bazaar
did you look at the visgroups there? lol
