Source SDK - Fog

[@Galkan]

Back when +3kliksphilip spoke with a relatively normal pace? Unbelievable!

[@room___]

+Galkan92 yes. this. is. a. very. reasonably. paced. tutorial.

[@leadersofthenewschool]

its very slow

[@Golden89]

Thanks for the source sdk tutorials, the way you explain these things makes it easier, keep up the good work man.

[@Feenuxz]

A note for everyone doing this: Fog can also be used to 'fake' sunshafts and glare effects if done correctly. I'm currently using a bright green to dark green fog in my Forest level, creating kind of a sunshaft/sunglare effect, it looks damn awesome.

[@TeamSilvertail]

Seeing the Windows XP UI makes me feel very nostalgic.

[@TheNoggins]

whoa, nice to see you're still around and kicking. stellar tutorial as always

[@P4INKiller]

Keep making more of these! Your hammer tutorials are tons better than any of the others on youtube. I would love to see more in depth tutorials.

[@bschou]

AND THEN A TREE POPPED OUT Great video. I always wanted to know how to use the env_fog controller properly!

[@Grateful42]

Good video, can't thank you more for the help you gave me last year, haven't messed with the sdk in a while, but plan on getting back in to it, I fined your videos acoustically pleasing and informative, keep em coming!

[@Erkorlad]

wtf i watched this years ago i didnt even know about philip back then wow lol

[@danaddams8608]

Well yeah he's the go-to Source guy.

[@silentsniperrr]

3kliks, I've been watching your tutorials for over a year now, (occasionally watching the juggling updates). You are by far the best intructor for source sdk. All other videos I go to end up sucking, giving no info., or have a 9 year old that you cant understand. Thank you.

[@lauris47]

YOU ARE ALIVE !!! Seriously, I did some fog mistakes in the past on my maps. Your way is correct.

[@Trumavarium]

Yay! More videos from the best tutorial-maker out there! Awesome video, and thanks!

[@Barisxoxo]

insanely lovely map honestly

[@robixn]

Welcome back, thanks for another great tutorial! You always bring tons of inspiration to my sdk mind, gotta remake silent hill now...

[@bykerof9433]

Todos tus tutoriales me re funcan, gracias amigo

[@hubbabubba9849]

yes actually, this helps out a lot since i didn't know the skybox had to have the same fog settings. that fog line always bothered me.

[@leadersofthenewschool]

lol that intro is genius. "and here it is done PROPERLY!"

[@DaRealLankoDeFranko]

my old skool neekaire teedoor?

[@TheXenWorld]

Ah every tutorial always has something cool at the ending. i mean.. A TREE!

[@MAXXimizer]

i am loving these annotations

[@nousername34]

VEry very clear tutorial one of the clearest tutorials ive ever seen

[@TeddyBearAssassin]

Nice to see you are still making tutorials.

[@youmenow1]

What makes 3kliksphilip tutorials so special, is he doesn't waffle on for ages about the same thing, he just tells you what you want to know, then goes on with the next topic. Ive seen plenty of tutorials that just frustrate me, because its a 9 min video that would take 1 min if 3kliksphilip did it.

[@Nyllsor]

yo bruddah! Three Clips Phil! I'm back again watching ur old tutorials! Love Mapping!

[@SuperGauntlet]

I had no idea how to do a lot of stuff in Hammer before now. Thanks.

[@NormanPeters1]

Thanks 3kliksphilip for all your videos, you are a great teacher and an inspiration to your subscribers and viewers. I have been following your sdk tutorials and enjoying making maps for cs. I have always wanted to make levels and dreamt of making computer games but I never thought I would be able to do it, so thanks again for helping. Have you ever used the sandbox for crysis? apparently it comes with the crysis DVD I am thinking getting it. And how can we dowload your maps for cs or Hl2d?

[@TobeasJ]

I always thought why my horisont looked so ugly, when I found out that you could have fog, my maps improved ALOT.

[@iTzStick]

Fog yeah!

[@Subwoofer043]

@MathieuCore2 I think that tree is prop_dynamic_override and its parented to an invisible func_movelinear entity.

[@Miigga]

should've mentioned the "fog max density" keyvalue. Setting it at about 0.5 to 0.8 can look quite nice. other than that, good tutorial

[@smoteytothemax]

Great stuff Philip I really enjoy your video tutorials on mapping and your juggling skills. (I also juggle but not quite as good as you!) Anyway I had a question for mapping... In both this video and your "Source Water Types" video, I notice it looks as if there is an ocean there but in hammer it's just a tiny room. I was wondering how to make it look as if the water extends forever into the distance. Can't find a tutorial on this anywhere. Thanks and keep making these. They're great!

[@joshuan.]

IMPORTANT: Make sure your func_dustcloud is textured as "tools/toolstrigger" otherwise it probably won't work!

[@KarasawaL30]

I love your videos. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@xZOMGxLEGITx]

@3kliksphilip ahh so similar to what mirrors edge does where they use red objects to tell you where to go and what wall to climb, interesting for some reason i never really thought of it that way but now that you actually mention it ive noticed that halflife uses this alot, thanks for the help :) love the tutorials man keep at it!

[@Armageddon104]

You should have talked about the env_wind ent. To make the misty fog slowly move.

[@mahmahmahlol]

just have to say you have the perfect voice for this

[@cocorinow]

i really like how you added a "press enter" at 2:07 :D

[@eagle_jsj]

Thanks a lot I have been trying to make some sort of fog or steam because I was trying to make sorta of a sweat lodge but wasn't sure how to get the steam.

[@enilc]

Is there at tutorial for the coastline-type large body of water? I've seen the tuturials for small pools of water...but the coastline effect in this vid is cool.

[@DarkShroom]

your tutorials are awesome

[@kusireika753]

I have watched all your tutorials, but I am curious how do you make your islands? I tried with displacements and result was.. crap.

[@kusireika753]

flyiNg Yeayea, I know how to use displacements, but my islands does not have that same kind of euphoric feeling.

[@kusireika753]

flyiNg Well. It would be awesome if someone would make tutorial how to make that thumbnail island.

[@davidpeder2]

NOW IM HAPPY! 4 months since last video! :D

[@yacanman11]

I like it! very well explained with proper useage

[@zymbia]

@3kliksphilip No. It's called hns_Zymbia so it should work right

[@RRRicard0]

Your tutorials are very useful!

[@P4INKiller]

@Feenuxz Could you upload a screenshot? Sounds awesome!

[@TheMadH4x0r]

Ah good, you're alive. Forgot to subscribe to your other channels on my new main account so could've sworn that finals and stuff ate you. 0.o Welcome back and nice tut.

[@trainzack]

Intresting fun fact: The fog at the bottem of the first citidel map in halflife 2 is thoughtfully named "turd"

[@Hiukuss]

I love fog, but sometimes I make really, really stupid mistakes... For example, my 3D skybox Sky_Camera had fog disabled, while my fog_controller had it enabled...It took me about 35 minutes to figure out what was wrong...

[@syphrus23]

Thanks for another tutorial that will be very useful to me.

[@InsaneAlternative]

I cant find the func_dustcloud in the CSS SDK entities, whats the alternative? Thanks!

[@InsaneAlternative]

func_dustpuff? It's odd that there is a fogcontroller but no dustcloud...

[@InsaneAlternative]

Oh god that is bad on my part. It's far too late, I need to go to bed. Thanks man. :D

[@the12221]

MAN! ihave been looking for a tutorial like this! thanks :)

[@omenatfallen]

@3kliksphilip I think its env_fogcontroller and some dust clouds are drifting in too..

[@RishGengCSGO]

That tree at the end scared Me D:

[@Hiukuss]

THANK GOD! I could NEVER get fog to work THANK YOU

[@jojogape]

Watch out for the trees!

[@AverageDoggo]

Thanks! Great tutorial, There's something I need help with, Can you tell me how to make ice (Like make it slippery)

[@scatchntrance]

I am sure there will be more tutorials like this :P like it!

[@jeffffff]

Is there anyway to have multiple types of fog on a map? Like I have a coastal part of a map like that. But then there is a underground part. I don't want the same type of fog down at that part.

[@Ciaurrix]

Did they ever add a way to change fog color based on a direction? For instance, if you had fog with a sunset, you'd want the fog towards the sun to be more orange/red than fog in the opposite direction, which would be the same color as the sky opposite the sun.

[@Volian0]

yes, it's possible, you need to specify: fogcolor2, fogdir and fogblend

[@MegapiemanPHD]

Mapping I would assume since this is a mapping tutorial video.

[@Zach-Hyde]

Thanks for the tutorial man!

[@PowerFuzion]

that waters toxic, did you not see how fast the tree grew?

[@Verbalaesthet]

I have fog in my level, but I want it in the skybox, too. My values were 500-3500 in my map which looked good, but when I added those values to the skybox the whole skybox looked like the fog color. Whats wrong?

[@omenatfallen]

Fog is getting inside my houses :o what to do? I tried doing trigger to disable fog when enter a house but that didn't quite work either. My houses are dense and there are no leaks/holes in the walls / doors, and walls go way underground (and there is floor/rooftop also).

[@DemonAirsoft]

@3kliksphilip there are no sapces in the name, and when i test it, instead of testing it on counter strike, it plays on tf2 for some reason

[@chrisxdeboy]

Suddenly, A TREE.

[@LethalAxis]

Philip, i know this isnt the right video to ask this but...can you tell me how to make a switch that you have to hold for a few seconds to activate? like a valve.

[@simpaklimp]

thanks, i think i requested this some time ago.

[@R3tr0xSynth]

I am sorry to ask a question in a wrong place, but I need help. When I create a large block, I can't see it fully, most of it goes all black, maybe I messed something up. Thanks.

[@sander8928]

Yep, very recently indeed. They need of a rollback of that feature soon... Hope that Google notices it too, its very hard to get support from Google.

[@DemonAirsoft]

@3kliksphilip But the part of the screen that has icons is grey and cant be moved. the 4 black parts are the working space and are ok, nothing is wrong with them

[@x00xii]

hey Philip, i was wondering if its possible to have like a wall of fog, its there constantly and can only disappear when you walk through it, i have seen it alot on Zombie Escape maps. I hope you can help me.

[@4spurta]

How do I make my env_fog_controller fog less dense? I'd like to add it for my beach map since it does make far away items look more realistic by adding a fog but in some places my fog is just too much and I can't find anything for making it less thick.

[@tshai]

use the Fog Max Density parameter. You can choose any value between 0 and 1. So ex. you can use 0.5

[@Jenos96]

Is there a way i can stop the actual sky texture (Like sky_day01_01 etc.) from showing up? theres jsut a rough line between the geometry in my 3d skybox and the sky testure that makes my map look bad. (I'm using the "office" sky"

[@hazzmando]

i love your sense of humour

[@danoninho72]

-.- im talking about limits, what values to set, worth it (like is the fog itself more expensive than the rest of the level that it doesnt compensate to use it),... :p

[@HellpooCZ]

Hello, i have done everything, but i have no fog in 3d skybox and it looks realy bad :/ it is enabled + i have copied values. I have no leaks in skybox around sky_camera. I have not found any solution via google, so please help me if u know what should i do ! :))

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

For some reason the sky_camera for fog isn't working at all. I did the same thing as my env_fog_controller. And nothing just the same stuff.

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

3kliksphilip Yeah i actually did. But you said they have to be the same value as the env_fog_controller. So i did use the same value and still looks the same as what you did for example. It is not changing.

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

3kliksphilip Yes i do. I can send you screenshots of the info and what i see ingame. That way you can maybe understand a little bit more on what i am saying.

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

3kliksphilip i995.photobucket.com/albums/af78/killa1234_2010/different_zpse6fb6a07.png this is the values. And this is the outcome of it. i995.photobucket.com/albums/af78/killa1234_2010/left4dead22014-02-0919-59-01-14_zps9fe74182.png , i995.photobucket.com/albums/af78/killa1234_2010/left4dead22014-02-0919-59-11-37_zpsc9d64991.png

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

3kliksphilip Nope it did the same thing. Any other solutions?

[@XxstiffmisterxX]

3kliksphilip It is in left 4 dead 2 authoring tools. www.mediafire.com/?mpce939agotes97 if you can find the solution it will help alot. Thank you.

[@youmenow1]

0:27 whats with the little brother annotation thing XD

[@SkyBorn8]

A wild tree appears!

[@thegrandmasteryoda]

Of course! By his since of humor we are able to conclude that 3kliksphilip is indeed still . . . only superhuman.

[@drytaffin]

When I put some fog near water, even at 300 particles/second I have a big problem: No tree come out of the water :-(

[@CeeMedic]

2:35 Thats not fog thats a tree we mod those too.

[@CaptainFoxer]

"No, Bad Tree!"

[@danoninho72]

Philip is it ok if you could explore the z clip plane option in a video?

[@EhBoing]

I believe this is your only fog tutorial, so I'll just post this here. My fog works perfectly fine, and it looks really nice. However, whenever I look somewhere or stand somewhere specific on my map, the light seems to readjust itself. The sky either becomes too dark or too light in areas, and occasionally the water's reflections break now as if there was a leak in my skybox (which there wasn't, I checked). Is this normal?

[@isoLinear]

@RExplosionStudios so because common virus cant infect a mac, that makes it a bad OS?

[@WatashivaHeL]

Thanks a lot! You have no idea how many puppies you saved from being punched!

[@Loekamber]

What about scalling them down and putting them in a Skybox?

[@TheAtzecartman]

klikshphilip i have a problem i want to do a aim_deagle map i want that it looks like a iland with fog but you can only see 10meters long but the fog wont work i have enabled it like in the vid and other things but still doesnt work can you help me pls or just can tell me settings for and nice vid :D is the ground a own texture?

[@Mariuspersem]

God, I started wondering if you stopped making vids D:

[@Jenos96]

And "FarZ" isnt working due to this. there basically no fog above or below, only on the X axis if you know what i mean.

[@Legojake94]

lol tree at the end

[@zymbia]

Dear 3klikphilip. When i try to run my map (and not just because i that added this but every single time) it won't run! D: Do you know what's wroung? Thanks for the help! - Zymbia

[@wendor24]

how do i get my hands on the Source SDK i plan on makeing games in future and need to get started. please help.

[@TheAtzecartman]

[@xZOMGxLEGITx]

Is there any way to produce a waypoint in your level to make it easier to navigate?

[@Tigerbeetweenie]

He's the water boy.

[@Loekamber]

Can't we use the ''fluffy stuff'' as a vomlumetric cloud?

[@Casadien]

I laughed when the tree suddenly popped up
