Hello everyone and welcome to a new (probably short) series of videos I do involving the source code from Valve for Half-Life 2, and some guides on how to do stuff with this code. In this episode, I outline how to add a dynamic sky effect to a mod, which is done by compiling shaders (which is why this video is part of the Shader Authoring set of videos). There are a couple of issues with this that I don't know how to resolve, plus I have to apologize for some of the laggy gameplay that is shown in the video! Please let me know what you think and see you for whatever I decide to do next, thanks for watching!
