This doesn't explain how you get buildings into the skybox, because the models are far to big, and they can't be scaled down, yet I'm positive they're used in skyboxes in smaller forms. | This doesn't explain how you get buildings into the skybox, because the models are far to big, and they can't be scaled down, yet I'm positive they're used in skyboxes in smaller forms. | ||

Is light_environment necessary in the 3d skybox?
I've tried a skybox just once so far and inadvertently, but perhaps fortuitously, left out the light_environment from the skybox. I didn't realize it until I was well along. The skybox props appear to be lit properly (i.e., consistently) in the map without the extra light_environment. If the light_environment isn't necessary, that's better as the "main" light_environment can then be "tuned" for the final map without one having to remember to adjust the skybox light. —BJ(talk) 18:49, 14 May 2006 (PDT)
