Hi, I'm new to map making and I have a couple of question in mind to help me later on. 1. Making a map in hammer, can a completed map be installed into SFM? 2. I'm go have to make custom props on the maps I'm planning, does Blender required or can I make the custom props on Hammer? Please let me know about this. Thank you.
modeling uses 3d modeling software (blender, solidworks, etc.) here's a tutorial. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=155101824
yeah you can put a map into sfm, just put the bsp file into sfm/game/usermod/maps you might have to fix the hdr so just lookup a tutorial on that
