thank you very much for taking your time, informative answer.
Wall Worm A-Z (Basics)

@shawnolson Looks great, this is the first thing I dreamed of when I came to the antiquated hammer tools from modern modeling software. Little did I know it was a thing! However, as a Maya lover, I was wondering if there was any way to install wallworm on Maya with basic brush import/model export functionality. If not, I suppose I could just pick up 3ds.

Wall Worm started as a work of passion that proceeded so extensively and rapidly only because of my own particular goals (centered in a Max pipeline). At this point to start a new branch of WW (devoted to such an old engine) on a new platform would be a huge investment of my time with little returns. As such, it is very unlikely that there will ever be a version of WW outside of 3ds Max. That being said, if you are already competent in Maya, you will certainly pick up Max fairly quickly.
Also, in general news about WW, Autodesk recently featured an article they asked me to write about the development of Wall Worm. See From Black Sheep to Black Mesa and Beyond.
More excitingly, I will be the keynote speaker this year at GDC for Autodesk on 3ds Max. So if you're going to GDC, make sure to come see talk that includes a lot of information about using Max and developing tools for Max.

Hello Shawn, first I'd like to thank you a lot for creating WallWorm. Being able to do pretty much all of my mapping workflow inside of Max is an absolute bliss.
I want to ask you if WallWorm supports or it's a planned addition for VMF importing to include the correct scale of CSGO props that have been adjusted in Hammer (this is a feature added in March 2018 that allowed re-sizing static props, more here under [SDK] https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2018/03/20309/ ). I looked around the settings and on the internet and couldn't find any info on this, so this is why I came here to ask you.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.
I am happy you are enjoying WW.The VMF exporter honors scale for props that support it. But it looks like I may need to address this in the importer. I'll put it on the TODO and try to get it into the next update.

Phenomenal work, thank you very much, Shawn! This will be very useful, not only for myself but for many others.

Just wondering if this is something stupid that I've done on my end but the uniform scale on importing the vmf seems to work, except it has moved all the props down and rotated them 180 degrees?

The last pic is in game (and not gone through wallworm yet, it was just the compile before I opened wallworm as it didn't have the scale support then) so you can see how the bikes and the arch isn't supposed to be in the ground
Still, if it's something I've done then it could be a cautionary tale for someone else if there's a fix or thing to avoid

I tested several scenarios and could not replicate this issue. You may need to send me your VMF for testing.
EDIT: Thanks for sending your scene and pointing this out. Latest WW fixes the problem.
