Building Cubemaps

There's no narration, only music. You can mute the audio. :)
In this tutorial I will show you how to build/rebuild cubemaps for use in Source Filmmaker.
Required software:
* Alien Swarm - store.steampowered.com/app/63...
Alien Swarm produces cubemaps that are compatible with Source Filmmaker and it's also free.
Too long, didn't watch:
1. Edit Alien Swarm's gameinfo.txt file to include Source Filmmaker's content.
2. Launch Alien Swarm and load your map. Execute: 'building_cubemaps 1' and then 'buildcubemaps'.
3. When cubemap building is done, close Alien Swarm and copy your map from Alien Swarm's folder to Source Filmmaker.
Do NOT rename your map after that as this will render your cubemaps obsolete and you'll have to rebuild them again!
Here's the original tutorial from VDC upon which this one is based: developer.valvesoftware.com/w...

    for anyone wondering who will stumble across this the reason Alien Swarm is crashing on map loads is because it doesn't have the maps custom models and textures. You need to use BSPsource tool to de-compile the map and extract the custom assets and place them inside usermod happy cubemap building

    Depends on the project's scale and various factors. It might take from just one day up to a few months.

    Hard to tell, but it might be either version difference issue, or the map itself has something oddly specific that causes ASW to crash.

    Any particular reason for why buildcubemaps needs to be used in Alien Swarm instead of natively in SFM? Is there a quality difference?

    It's broken in SFM's branch and produces incorrect cubemaps missing one side for some reason. You can try it yourself and you'll see the issue yourself.

    @@VladislavZharkov I see. I've mainly used it to fix glaringly broken cubemaps and haven't really looked too closely at them. Since you mentioned how SFM doesn't read old cubemaps correctly, I assume you used Alien Swarm because its version of Source is the closest to SFMs, even compared to TF2 itself?
