How do you make that glowing box effect around the flags (like in fieldtrip)?

make a brush with a texture (I prefer the orange and black stripes)

tie it to func_detail

set FXmode to Textured

set FXamount to 70 or so



if you want to be able to see the texture when your inside, you'll have to make a cube, then hollow it thin and tie all 6 sides to func_detail

func_illusionary
RenderFX: Normal

Thanks for the help guys Got it workin' now.

Is this the same way they make that "light streaming through the window" effect seen in the trainstation or cs_estate? If so, what texture do you use?

I think they used RenderFX: Additivve (or something)

however... I know in CS:S they have a use a light_spot with a tight angle shining through ...

a brush tied to func_dustmotes

combined with some env_sprite
Render FX: Constant Glow
Render Mode: Additive
FX Amount: very low
FX Color: dusty/yellow
Disable Recieving Shadows: Yes
Sprite Name: materials/Sprites/glow.vmt
Scale: 2
Size: 2

add the obligitory env_cubemap and smile


de_dust does this wonderfully in the domed room
