Sunset Flatgrass

Just something that stumbled into my mind while playing on gm_flatgrass. Thought the map looked kind of boring and bland, so I decided to give it a fresh coat of paint! This map of course includes a proper node graph and nav-mesh, a window in the secret room, and has an added bonus of v o l u m e t r i c l i g h t b e a m s !

If you're wondering how that works, this next section in the description explains how I got that effect if you're curious.

In the post processing tab in the spawn-menu, in the shaders section, there is an effect called "Sun rays" and it is a lot cooler than you think. It adds a volumetric light effect, which you can see in third screenshot. Basically lit areas that are illuminated by the sun have a nice little beam effect. This map utilizes the lua_run entity, which lets you have your map execute console commands, and all of the post processing effects are controlled by console commands, so this map has a lua_run entity run this code "RunConsoleCommand('pp_sunbeams', '1')". All this does is turn on the sunbeams effect when the map starts.
