Hi.
I am having a few problems with lighting in the Hammer Editor for HL2.
1. Environment, Dynamic and Light Source. How do I make it look like light is comming from a hole in the ceiling or pouring through windows as I have experimented with these but am unable to get it right. I see you can pick HDR lighting by right clicking on the little lights in the 3d view but it isnt HDR or a very poor example of it.
2. Doors that open and Metal bars. I am making a prison level so I need metal bars. Is there any acually in the editor as default or am I gonna have to import them?
3. Windows. How do I get transparent windows because the prison is like 6 floors plus a HUGE!! open area with Striders and Combine fighting Zombies and headcrabs and I would like to view it from the windows in the prison as my level is going to be streaming.
4. How do I get the headcrab launcher as seen in the SP mode when those pods crash down and headcrabs come out of them?
Sorry for the ?'s I have looked at tutorials and all they tell you is how to build a basic level with basic lighting and the ones that are advanced arent nearly as well written.
Thanks in advance.
