Judging from your enthusiastic review, I might check it out later

Wallworm was the first revolution (3ds max); now he's ushering in the 2nd revolution (blender)...but hammer is proving hard to depose

I highly doubt that
I haven't played/worked with Source games and SDKs for 5 years now; it's literally a distant memory now
Looks fantastic, great work ?
Those first 2 shots look realistic and authentic, as close as possible to the real thing in terms of ambience and atmosphere.
Judging from the screenshots (without playing), I couldn't shake the feeling that ambient lighting is a bit flat and dull
Have you tried different time of day before settling on this one? Maybe a stronger sunny day or an accentuated sunset/golden hour setup could bring the vivid building colors to life.
I would try 2 different lighting setups in 2 separate test maps to compare if I were you, but that's totally up to you. Just thinking out loud here
In any way, keep up the good work, and so glad to see you still pushing great content for CSGO.
Great work so far ?
Giving me strong flashbacks of de_prodigy from CS:Source

Already have it, and played it a decade ago on release (the original on source engine, not the 2017 Unity landmark remaster); Robert did a phenomenal job with this one and pushed source engine beyond its limits.
I'll ping some friends who might be interested in getting it for free; thanks for the heads up

That's great to hear.
Once things are mature and stable enough, consider going commercial with this, or at least a free stable program with nice GUI. Many people will benefit from this just as many did with wallworm and 3ds max.
Keep it up

I see Blender interface
Is this something similar to wallworm/3DSmax approach?

Thanks for sharing.
I haven't touched Source engine games and SDKs for almost 5 years but I felt compelled to check this one out after reading the features list.
The 3D lighting preview works well enough to make lighting tweaks happen in-editor without needing to compile. Having the 2D sky visible is the icing on the cake.
Having the 3D gizmo for movement translation, rotation and resizing, like most modern engines is a really nice touch.
The various quality of life improvements and features are all welcome.
Honestly, all these should have been default features of Hammer, especially lighting preview (we asked for it over a decade ago to no avail), but it's always the community that takes matters into its own hands to find solutions.

Rumors about Vice City as the new location have been circulating since forever, but nothing is for sure
