CSS/Animated Clouds

Finding The Model

Moving Clouds are a simple prop_dynamic away

Some models available in CS:S are:

• models/props/cs_office/clouds.mdl
• models/props/de_tides/clouds.mdl
• models/props/de_port/clouds.mdl

1. So if you want these clouds in a Half-Life 2 map, download GCFScape.
2. Start GCFScape and open Counter Strike Source Shared.gcf.
3. Navigate to models/props/cs_office and extract all clouds files you find.
4. Navigate to materials/models/props/cs_office and extract all clouds files you find.
5. Place the models in models/props/cs_office in Half-Life 2/hl2 folder and place the materials in materials/models/props/cs_office
6. Restart Hammer and you will find the model in the list

Placing The Model

Now you got your model, so make a 3D skybox, and place the model in it as a prop_dynamic. Put the prop_dynamic by the center of your sky_camera in the skybox. Resize your 3D skybox if you have to, but its cooler to see all the cloud model. Compile and you're done!
