Hey everyone!

When I compile my map in normal, it looks fine. But when I wanted to test the HDR lighting, it looks very weird on the displacements! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =151478230

The texture I used for it is: nature/blendrockdirt_tunnel03a

The compile options I used are:
Full compile - HDR only
$light_exe -- -textureshadows -hdr -StaticPropLighting -StaticPropPolys -game $gamedir $path$file

I tried building cubemaps, but it doesnt not seem to help.

Thanks!

There is a rock texture that does that and I had that problem previously in tc_vitrified when compiled with HDR. I believe it is something to do with a variable inside the .vmt.

Try using a different blend texture or make your own.
Below is my .vmt for custom texture: blendrockdirt_tunnel03c

Code: Select all: WorldVertexTransition { $basetexture "nature/rockwall_cave02a" $basetexture2 "nature/dirtfloor004a" //$seamless_scale ".0015" $surfaceprop rock "%noportal" 1 "%keywords" "portal2 underground" "GPU>=1" { $blendmodulatetexture "nature/rockblendtexture001a" $bumpmap "Nature/rockwall_cave_02a_height-ssbump" $ssbump 1 $normalmapalphaenvmapmask 1 $envmap "cubemaps/cubemap_cave01" $envmapcontrast "0.0"
$envmaptint "[ .035 .035 .035 ]" } }

EDIT: Looking into my vmf I still use that texture. Not sure what I actually did to fix it... The only reason I commented out the scaling was because I wanted to use that texture inside the 3D skybox.

Bumping here; there was a problem with this specific texture on high or very high shaders.
I contacted valve about it and it is fixed with a small little patch now!
