You can use brushes as well. Pretty sure the buildings in the skybox in de_dust are brushes.

You can use brushes yes, but most of the de_dust skybox stuff are models.

Indeed they are, but the small buildings on the hillside are brushes.

static meshes are rendered faster and take up less memory than brush based objects.

Vertex buffers, afaik. Nice stuff to delve into in and between school lessons.

that skin looks awfully detailed, does it really need so much resolution?

well my thought was that if it's going to be way off in the distance that resolution could be used elsewhere

but if it's for near-skybox use i guess that's fine.
