Geometry editing problems

Ashank · May 10, 2016

It's not a major problem but i'm getting annoyed by the geometry bending limitations in hammer as im trying to make a curved front hull for a ship but it ends like this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=674001706
Anyone got tips on how to make it look curved.

The actual ship taken from the map im working on to reduce size or if the attached file/website isn't working.

This isn't really hammer's forte. instead you should investigate making this a model

If you have the skill and patience, you could probably do this with displacements, but I agree that a model would be far more practical. Brushes aren't made to be used for smooth curved or organic shapes like this. In the meantime, you can create a rough boat shape with brushes using the method in this post: http://tf2maps.net/posts/335534/
