Mars-like planet skybox

[MegaKosan]

Hey guys, I made a simple 1K per side skybox of a Mars-like planet!

It´s made for CSGO, but as with most textures, you can use it for any Source engine game.

Download it here on GameBanana.

 

 

Btw, I´m kinda new to this site, can I embed sketchfab 3d previews?

Saw this on /r/csmapmakers, really like it

No idea on Sketchfab previews.

I realy like that skybox, but I can hardly imagine a theme on CSGO that would fit to it. Maybe some terrorists on mars? If the light gets adjusted it could also be a a dessert on earth.

It definitely won´t fit a normal CSGO map, but it can surely be used for a somewhat non-serious map (and maps like de_elysium).

And you can use it for any other Source engine game, so you could use this in Half-Life, Portal, Black Mesa, TF2, and so on.

Cool, are you made it with Terragen?

Very cool!

And I have some ideas of heavily themed maps, it would be cool to create something unique like they do in COD; would also need new player models though to do it properly… I guess that Valve needs to give the nod to do so? (Anti cheat)

Planets are quite similar in a lot of cases. I can see something like this for the Salt flats in Bolivia

Wind effect is necessary :]

Naaah, only necessary for a 3d skybox, this is just the background, I don´t think it can even be animated (correct me if I´m wrong).

I wouldn't worry about it too much if it was a "traditional" CS map. They tend to be calibrated with a very specific goal in mind. Essentially what makes a good CS map would be impossible to find in the real world giving it an element of fiction.  Might as well go full fiction and send em to mars.
