    Model [Request] Fountain

    I was wondering if anyone could make me a fountain. My modeling skills are quite dreadful. I'm just not a modeler. I need it to be no smaller than 256x256x512. If anyone could help, that'd be awesome.

    Carving? why the hatred

    I once carved a doorway and realized I forgot to align the wall. For a second, I panicked. Then I remember I had an undo button. Problem solved. I can't tell you how many stupid angled roofs I had to redo because of the crappy vertex tool. After I found carve, all I did was carve the angle...

    Adding VMFs

    I know this is a really stupid question, but where do you place custom VMFs at? I have a few things I want to add, but have no idea where to place them.

    Deleting textures

    Adding Vertices to a Brush

    Thank you. Wad Author was Ctrl V. So close, yet so far. This was driving me crazy.

    Adding Vertices to a Brush

    I am pretty new to Hammer map making. I used to use Wad Author to make Doom levels and although the core map making principles are still the same, it hasn't been the easiest transition for me to use Hammer and learn the new terminology. I've been looking for a tutorial on this for days. How...

    Hey

    My name is Alero. I have tried multiple times to get into making maps. All of them have failed because of me being discouraged or lazy. This time hopefully will be different. I really hope that if I have any issues, I can talk about them here to help my map making experience grow. My hope is to...
