[goldendeed]

Are we allowed to like submit our own ideas to this thread?

[Generalvivi]

yeah I don't see why not just try and keep it organized and hopefully in the same format so things don't get to crazy

[Jangalomph]

wow. This made my mapping perspective quite different in how i see things. I now see How i could use areas and Brushes etc for a good game play map. I might test one of these out to see how good it can work. Thanks dude.

I have a similar tool, and its output can be directly exported to Hammer


Your designs are nice too!

[Echo51]

And what tool is that shrinker? id so love to know XD

[Robster881]

I have to ask, what google sketch up settings did you use to make it look like that... I can't work it out

[Generalvivi]

Go to - Window > Styles > and select "Straight Lines" then from there you can just choose a pixel width.



I also have shadows turned on.

Microbrush. It's in his signature.

I prefer airbrush, it makes it look more like a sketch than a 3D model (which makes me care less about being a meticulous detailer )

Shrinker, does it export into Hammer as brushes or as a model?

Fuck useless to ask that question, that post was 4 months ago.

>>>That tool came out with the Left 4 Dead Tools Beta.<<<

[Zipfinator]

I know that tool for Sketchup came out, but Shrinker was using another program other than Sketchup so I wasn't sure if it was a different exporter or not.

[Zipfinator]

I clicked on the link in his signature and yeah it is brushes, going to try it out now!

[Shrinker]

Good thing I subscribed to this thread

Yeah, that thing exports to .vmf natively.
Already working on a successor, with user interface, texturing, entitifizing and all
Work on it is going slowly, but steadily.
