Hey there. I am pretty good with hammer. Ive made some orange maps and stuff but a couple things ive just never really gotten. Specifically, how to u make terrain (like the boulders on goldrush or hills or anything like that) and how do u make weather (snow on viaduct, etc). I would really appreciate some links to some tutorials o maybe another forum post that discusses this. Please be as descriptive as possible. Thanks in advance! :D

How do you make that 3D Spritey Grass?

It's automatic! Use a texture that uses em, and set the detail sprite material to the right one (Map properties) and there they are.

Or you can use "paint alpha" in face edit tool, with textures that have 2d sprites in their alpha texture.
