3D Skybox Helper

Description
This is an addon for mappers that lets you create/edit a 3D skybox camera ingame and see the changes in realtime. It will automatically calculate the position where you need to place the sky_camera in Hammer for you.

If you're a beginner, this can save you a huge amount of time. If you're not, this still saves you the trouble of recompiling to see if your skybox looks good.

Steps to use (or watch the video):
  1. 3dskyhelper_toggle in the console
  2. Go to any spot in your map where you can see the skybox, and press Left Click
  3. Noclip to where your 3d skybox is and press Right Click
  4. Follow the onscreen prompts to tweak the view until you're satisfied
  5. Copy the sky_camera position in the chat, then in Hammer create a sky_camera at your map's origin (0,0,0) and Transform Move it to the position you got
If the position you got is in the void, you will have to surround your sky_camera in a hollow cube or Hammer will optimize it out.

Does this Addon allow you to Locate Skyboxes in Preexisting maps, say Gm_Shambles as a Wild Example?

Have you looked at other options? Euthanasia is one sure way to relieve suffering.

The time will come around when I want to start using hammer, so this will come into great use. :steamhappy:

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TO
