when going underwater, the skybox will appear black at certain angles. possibly worth noting that the water texture is a lightmapped generic texture with the compilewater setting.

Water textures aren’t meant to be used this way
This is normal, not sure there is a workaround
Besides using a different shade of course

used what way?
snow bough
used what way?
Seen from directions that aren’t the top
prisma sand
that is a view from underwater, this is above
snow bough
Yes. It looks like the water does not go all the way down. That is why you are seeing the black skybox
Water seen from below will blacken the skybox.
prisma sand
it does

If there’s a gap that will also do it I think
would it happen to be a func_detail

no

testing it, making it a func_detail just makes it render wrong
snow bough
Yeah, water can’t be a func detail
worthy wyvern
Is there a reason you’re using a light mapped generic shader for the water material, as opposed to the water shader?
that will probably cause glitching

nah that's fine it mainly cares for the compilewater flag. Did you compile vvis on fast or final? also do you have a func_viscluster intersecting the water brush and such?

fast, and no viscluster
I tested what a viscluster looked like, not good
I came up with a fix i think
which was just getting rid of the water
worthy wyvern
Thats one way to fix it Haha
