Interesting read, though. Maybe someone should reprogram the carve tool to follow that algorithm.

I just automatically point someone towards that article when they say "NEVER CARVE OR JESUS WILL KILL LOTS OF KITTENS WITH SAWBLADES RAVENHOLM STYLE," because while you can definitely live without carving, you shouldn't just disregard the tool altogether.

The fog settings in the skybox camera are not scaled. If you write 5000 in there, it will be really 5000 units in Portal, but your skybox content will get scaled.

So is there anything i can do?

Try these settings for the sky_camera. If it doesn't look right, try something similar. Maybe take the real level fog settings and multiply them for the 3d skybox. Using a different color may work too.
