Upscaling Skyboxes

[@nobody-tj1mv]

When I was a kid I dreamed about exploring the Half-life 1 Skybox. I went really far and found a little house on the other side of the mountain. I felt like I've found a Easter Egg that no one would ever found. To this day, my brain looks at that mountain and imagine that there's a house just laying there. With no one to find it.

[@criticallyconk4944]

_UP vibes_

[@cochi1921]

I know right? I used to play CS 1.6 with no bots and just explore the maps and the skybox, I used to spend a lot of time in one map that was set in a skyscraper (which had a telescope with a funny easter egg) and now it feels very nostalgic.

We handle anticlockwise rotation better than clockwise, or so I've heard, however this is clockwise rotation not counter clockwise.

[@Шпрот-в7и]

@@xFluing It is counter clockwise...

[@nolanL]

Шпрот it depends on your perspective. The view is moving counter clockwise or the sky box is moving clockwise.

I think it's interesting for a video like this where when you're watching it you arent necessarily aware of the change in topic at the end, since it seems like a natural progression of a thought, but having the timestamps there highlights all of the extra effort it takes to have another chapter or paragraph to the video

[@penguinsushi8442]

Certain skyboxes from Deus Ex 1 (gloomy, foreboding atmosphere), Halo 1's ring skybox, and some from other games give me a strong feeling of exploration with lots of depth, and wanting to be there (I enjoy clouds in skies with lots of depth, even if the sky is gloomy). It's a delicate balance to get the right atmosphere.

[@crysp183]

Skyboxes seem like the perfect thing to upscale and put into play. You're never going to focus on them when playing, but the sharper image is definitely an upgrade that you might take notice of and appreciate when you're messing about.

[@cheaterman49]

0:56 Ooooh Philip, now you're in MY realm. Are you using OIDN? I'm using and abusing it on Blender for my renders, and I love it! There are still some quirks (it can sometimes excessively smooth sharp reflections), but it IS next-level compared to what we had before!
