Usually I don't like to build skyboxes flush with boundary walls, because immersion will break every time the player tries to throw a physics objects over the roof or some combine is sent sailing over it, only to bounce off this giant invisible wall.

Breaking immersion
Usually I don't like to build skyboxes flush with boundary walls, because immersion will break every time the player tries to throw a physics objects over the roof or some combine is sent sailing over it, only to bounce off this giant invisible wall. If the player was trying to get rid of a combine-thrown grenade with the physgun, a "too optimized" skybox could even be lethal. If physics objects is involved, I have it end a reasonable bit OUTSIDE the boundaries, so that the object is stopped by the skybox after it's out of sight. --MossyBucket (formerly Andreasen) 07:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
