Winter peak and the halloween one and maybe some of the others were, surprise surprise, made by outside companies, not valve.

Thanks for responding. I guess the steam docs just aren't complete enough for me. I need a much more fleshed out example and also the .VMAP files so i can see how its all put together. Why hasn't valve released any .VMAP files for their example destinations like Winter Peak? Its so weird.

I dont think my levels are that great, but I tell ya, this praise really helps my self esteem.

You have to understand, I am fairly new to VR and when I went into this one, I was getting kinda moist around the eyes quite frankly, because this one is so immersive. ...so..."there" and real
I LOVE desert environments...I love picture windows. I wish the outside was more sunny and all blue sky...clouds I think kinda look depressing because they dont move in these VR things. but I am loving just sitting in there. I would like more like this. oh, maybe add a woman standing somewhere inside to make it seem more alive maybe standing by the wink looking out the window or something. anyways you are a genuis at this stuff!!

I followed the steam wiki. It was many weeks of making really dumb geometry and house plans that didn't go anywhere, and I got discouraged, but I just kept at it, and eventually fell upon a construction style of my own that seems to work. I don't know how my method compares to any other level editor or 3d modeling suite as Ive never used any other ones. Since I don't know how hammer2/byteframe_style compares to anything else I'm having a hard time offering recommendations, but I quess I've become great friends with the bridge tool.

Hi man. Youre really tearing it up with all these destinations! Can I ask where you learned how to use the Steam2 version of valves tools? Ive really struggled with them. The online tutorials are lame and it seems like most of the devs from the steam 1 CS days never carried over to Steam2.
