What if CS:GO Was Sunnier?

[@w04h]

This is basically what happened with the new lighting in CS2. Philip predicting the future as always.

[@tsunamianakin]

Yeah looks pretty similar

[@Crediu]

Yea we did not need Source 2 just this it looks very good

[@w04h]

@@Crediu Nah S2 has completely new physics engine and mapping tools. Philip has a video where he stacks 20 bodies on top of each other in GO and the game dies. In CS2 he could have had 300+ before it became a problem. CS2 also has infinite map size so they can remake danger zone to 32 or even 64 players.

Unfortunately it's an established notoriety that Valve game fans have hatred and snobbery towards cosmetic/gameplay mods that are not total conversions, especially with reanimation mods and no-VR mod for HL Alyx.

I kinda liked this promotion stuff, even in it he didn't lose spine. way to go, philip!

[@CIARUNSITE]

We know how much our players enjoy being blinded so we made everything blue and put a giant sun in our game. -Battlefield 3 developers, probably.

[@naveednawwaf]

They could atleast remove the sun blinding. To compensate for the blue. Anyways, they fixed it in Battlefield 4.

[@KenkenLH]

Mirage is just Dust 3 when you make it sunnier, phillip

This is so freaking cool and really does make huge improvements to the maps! I especially like the use of colors for moods. Nuke having a pink horizon was very interesting. That made it feel more radioactive!

Funnily enough I noticed the bright blue sky in Dust 2 on your previous video, but just accepted it as reality and thought to myself, "I can't believe I forgot how bright the sky is in Dust 2!" I've got a feeling a lot of people just accepted it as fact as well.

[@calebvuli5476]

Smashed like button for you Philip, hope you start getting the views you deserve

[@Verbalaesthet]

Fun fact: they added chemtrail skies to many CS:GO maps. 5G masts are also present on dust2.

[@ImPDK]

Pretty much no maps look worse with a blue sky. Even Monastery is beautiful

[@thennoth2860]

Very cool concept, lots of possibilities. Well done Philip.

[@DeletedTaters001]

1:06 a certain esports journalist might be offended because his speciality is getting mad at insults when there are none.

[@unfa00]

What you're doing here is what in game engines is known as a procedural sky, where you can define colors of the zenith, horizon etc and have a smooth gradient between them. There's also physically based sky shaders that use the sun direction to simulate atmosphere's colors and gradients to create an accurate look of anything between sunset and noon.

[@Windows_98]

ah yes "full 360" I hate skies so much I love them

7:41 "Valve pls break" 😂😂😂👍

[@MJSonOfHarry]

I love your technique for creating skies! It reminds me of something I tried years ago with the black material and black fog to create an intentionally surreal and eerie night map. Fun color theory fact time: daytime shadows are blue because sunlight, when it reaches the surface, is slightly yellow! This is for the same reason that the sky is blue; the atmosphere is scattering a little bit of the blue light, which means the light that does get through all the way is slightly less blue. As a general rule, all shadows are complementary to the color of their light source, although this gets complicated in real life due to factors like the color of the object casting the shadow, the color of the surface the shadow is being cast on, and light bouncing off of nearby surfaces, directly illuminating the shadow. Shadows are positively rich with color! Sadly a lot of this gets lost in digital photography and video, so the best way to study it is with real life observation. Try casting tinted lights on a beach ball in a dark room! You might be surprised by how much there is to see.

[@friendpen9383]

the blue sky is really addicting as you said...I used to enjoy inferno and nuke more than any other map because of how inviting it felt to me, so I think I have always been a fan of (maybe too) blue skies

[@alisterteh2214]

I love how you still use the clip where you run up the mountain lol

[@rushzzz763]

The Sun would be a natural flashbang

"I'm afraid I blue myself" - philip probably.

[@beegyoshi6525]

A lot of people don't realise how important the sky box is, it's usually 50% of the screen in most games. It's the first thing I notice in games with very good graphics like RDR2

I have always had a huge problem with how dark, gritty, gray and bland the maps in CSGO look. Nuke and inferno are the exceptions. This actually fixes so much of the issue for me! Although maybe a little bit overboard at times, but still.

The colors of the daylight are actually even more interesting. yellowish and orange tones are much less distorted by the atmosphere, so shadows are getting relatively less yellow/orange than things in the sunlight making them bluer than expected.
