parallax_obb

parallax_obb is an internal brush entity available in Strata Source, Hunt Down the Freeman, and Mapbase.

Overview

This brush entity defines the boundaries of Parallax Corrected Cubemaps, which are env_cubemaps that move with the camera, giving a slightly more accurate reflection on brushes. This entity basically tells the game how to display and warp the reflections by setting the dimensions of the effect to the dimensions of this entity. The Cubemap Bounds keyvalue on the desired cubemap must be set to this entity's targetname in order to function as intended. The recommended texture for this brush entity is the tools\toolstrigger texture, although any trigger texture will work.

Todo: I have a custom tooltexture made specifically for parallax obb that had parallax instead of trigger on it. I will provide download link somewhere here - Equalizer5118, an idiot who cant spel (talk) 22:08, 21 August 2023 (PDT)
