When I was a kid I dreamed about exploring the Half-life 1 Skybox. I went really far and found a little house on the other side of the mountain. I felt like I've found a Easter Egg that no one would ever found. To this day, my brain looks at that mountain and imagine that there's a house just laying there. With no one to find it.
I know right? I used to play CS 1.6 with no bots and just explore the maps and the skybox, I used to spend a lot of time in one map that was set in a skyscraper (which had a telescope with a funny easter egg) and now it feels very nostalgic.
Yeah he really fucked up with the FOV Sometimes I think he makes his videos difficult to watch on purpose, I don't see how he could be dumb enough to miss that issue during editing
Since I started playing FPS games, I was in love with the skyboxes. It wasnt the map itself that sparked my curiosity and awe, but just looking at the sky and those far hills, forest or cities. Unreal and CS Sourse were the first games that I truly wanted to fly outside the map limits.
I feel so happy for him getting 1 mil. A channel with: -good content -master edits -a creator who spends literally half his time doing professional level videos with details and explanations, which can any one understand. -all deserved, its all hard work. No clickbaits, no crap no begging for anything.. You are not a youtuber you are an Idol a perfect Idol for all us. Thank You!!!
You talking about wanting to explore the skyboxes reminds me of dreams I used to have as a kid with exploring unreachable parts of various games I loved back then. I'm sad that I can't remember any of the dreams, but am at least glad I know I had them.
Dawn skybox was missing, it was meant to be in the game but it can be found in the Half-Life SDK files (Half-Life Day One). I'd love to see that skybox upscaled, it has a purple/pink theme into it with mountains and cloudy weather. Great vid Philip. 👍.
i watched nearly all of it - usually i don't care that much to comment about some flaws. it was bit unconfortable as expected from spinning, but during forest scene i had to legit look away to not get motion sickness, so i thought to point it out for others, cause motion sickness can be a bitch sometimes it doesn't have to be description, maybe his pinned comment or something
I think it's interesting for a video like this where when you're watching it you arent necessarily aware of the change in topic at the end, since it seems like a natural progression of a thought, but having the timestamps there highlights all of the extra effort it takes to have another chapter or paragraph to the video
Hey 3kilkspilip, Can you just release an original vs upscaled like you did at 0:52 for all the examples, don't like the spinning thing making me dizzy, No idea how you endured editing that.
What this person is trying to say is that dayik is one of the accounts that can use some weird workaround ato get into your account when you do any interaction with it (liking, commenting, checkng their profile, etc...)
I would love to see a remake of this video but with current generative tools. Cubemaps can also be turned into equilateral panoramas so seams don't become a problem.
Certain skyboxes from Deus Ex 1 (gloomy, foreboding atmosphere), Halo 1's ring skybox, and some from other games give me a strong feeling of exploration with lots of depth, and wanting to be there (I enjoy clouds in skies with lots of depth, even if the sky is gloomy). It's a delicate balance to get the right atmosphere.
I have a hangover from last nigh. This as the first video I watch in the morning on my phone really fucks me off. Brb, I'm going to puke again. Great video though Philips!! Keep it up!
0:56 Ooooh Philip, now you're in MY realm. Are you using OIDN? I'm using and abusing it on Blender for my renders, and I love it! There are still some quirks (it can sometimes excessively smooth sharp reflections), but it IS next-level compared to what we had before!
Skyboxes seem like the perfect thing to upscale and put into play. You're never going to focus on them when playing, but the sharper image is definitely an upgrade that you might take notice of and appreciate when you're messing about.
1:25 it's like putting on glasses in that you don't know any better option, until you realize that you were seeing a downgraded version of everything the whole time

Ah yes, the "Zoom in, enhance." throwback from the movies will be real, the future is here
five years: "Hello, and welcome to Computer-aided Aperture Enrichment Center..."
in 5 years AI will slave you.
Someone screenshot this and wait 5 years
Philip: so anyway, i started upscaling
10 minutes of -anti- counter clockwise rotating cube boxes 🤢
But for the content, thanks!
We handle anticlockwise rotation better than clockwise, or so I've heard, however this is clockwise rotation not counter clockwise.
@@xFluing It is counter clockwise...
Шпрот it depends on your perspective. The view is moving counter clockwise or the sky box is moving clockwise.
@@nolanL Woah
@@Шпрот-в7и Regardless of technicality it still results in the skybox moving clockwise.
that was an oddly relaxing trip through classic skyboxes.
I started feeling dizzy 6 minutes in but the nostalgia was epic
I think I’m gonna throw up 🤢
Damm, it is worse than playing in vr
i just finished watching it and i am super motion sick rn
Yeah I watched the video for about 5 minutes and had to pause for a moment.
yeah too much spin
Yeah he really fucked up with the FOV
Sometimes I think he makes his videos difficult to watch on purpose, I don't see how he could be dumb enough to miss that issue during editing
CS:GO Source 2 is looking great!
Watching these skyboxes spinning constantly actually made my vision go a bit dizzy, pretty cool.

Yes! You shown a clip from this video in an other and I was looking for it. Looks like you teased us. Nice one man.
It's actually insane how this upscaling already looks dated compared to what we have now, cool but kinda scary
Philip uses high fov and rapid rotation to weed out weak-stomached subscribers. 🤔
Optical illusion - of all the spinning then a still image appears and am i look at a moving image rn?
It's cool to see philip finally learning one of his brother 2klick's favorite hobbies. Sharing hobbies always does bring a family together. :)

When he becomes billionaire he would manage to start upscalating reality
I’m feeling dizzy with all this spinning
makes the game look so much better, thanks for the work!
Yes, yes, i've always wanted to explore these skyboxes when i play the game, but i can only image how it was so cool.
5:52 lmao so they just took the windows xp background
God damnit 3kilkphillips!
You said you'll stop upscaling!
Again, a comment from 5 days ago. How?!!

Your videos lovely in so many ways. The calm voice-over and the tech music reminds me of the times i was procastinating while watching your videos
The fisheye effect throughout the video gave me a headache.
Tom Scott just brought out a video 2 days ago talking about upscaling aswell! Really well done and informative video from both of you!
Now, can you upscale london's skybox in real life?
While I have no idea how skyboxes and any of this works, I love watching your videos Philip! Upscaled/10.
upscaling returns!

After 10 minutes of spinning skyboxes, You spin my head right round right round..
4:12 Lmao is that porn on every single of those window
Hentai headquarters.
perhaps the upscaling ai was trained on porn
yep
3:51 damn this is a reference i love to notice, its everywhere and i smile every time, thanks philip
This video makes me sick. Couldn't finish it lmao
you have my upvote cause I aswell could not finish this video.
If I'm remembering correctly, the Doom1 skybox was used in Aztec and was lifted from the first level of the first Doom game's skybox. Kind of neat.
This makes me dizzy.
If you're feeling dizzy, block off the sides of the video so you can only see a square-shaped area in the middle. That should help somewhat.
I enjoy direct comparison shots more tbh. This moving camera gives me a headache:(
4:13
Wasn't expecting a skybox from the specialists to make it here.
Where did you get these full resolution textures for CT and Leet Crew?
I've picked up on it before and just ignored it thinking it was a coincidence, but now I know for sure - Phillip is a Star Wars prequels fan
i'm getting motion sickness out of watching half of it, make some kind of warning in description
No1 reads description
then stop watching ahaha
Are you watching it through a VR headset?
i watched nearly all of it - usually i don't care that much to comment about some flaws. it was bit unconfortable as expected from spinning, but during forest scene i had to legit look away to not get motion sickness, so i thought to point it out for others, cause motion sickness can be a bitch sometimes

Francois Van Zyl he dosnt have motion sickness the reason it spins is so you see more
weeb
8:32 I think that skybox is trying to replicate a skybox from the original Doom and thats why its named doom1.
can you put a download link for these skybox that you upscaled?
3:50 When I heard "Which some" I knew what came next haha
this makes my eyes feel weird
Thank you for stopping by my stream tonight. I really appreciate the help!

The upscaling of the skybox is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural

Bro i was always wondering even to this day where half life and cs 1.6 skyboxes come from
I have a hangover from last nigh. This as the first video I watch in the morning on my phone really fucks me off. Brb, I'm going to puke again.
Great video though Philips!! Keep it up!
Soon enough we’ll have philp’s AI upscaled version of half life.
10 straight minutes of 3kliksphillip savaging mapmakers from the 2000s
When I saw the thumbnail I thought the skyboxes were originally high res and the developer downscaled it to fit into the engine.
that might've been the case actually, just like how it was for the playermodels, mentioned near the end of the video
I feel so sick and dizzy
Upscaling is a path to many abilities some would consider unnatural.
These skyboxes make me think what CS would look like if it was a fantasy RPG.
"We used to think this was the future"
Lol, it's funny to think about that, reality-bending.

After the video ends and scroll to comment section, my brain still process the panning from the skybox comparison. trippy.
Anyone else finds this extremely relaxing? I feel like I could watch upscaled skyboxes for hours.
I startet to fell sick at minute 2 and thought that I was about to throw up at minute 3 and I quit at minute 4
forest was stunning! :o
