oh, shit~ pure genius.

I decided to bump the lighting up. The map will now be a mid-day kind of thing instead of having a twighlight mood. Thanks for your help anyways, i think its important that i know how to do that anyways.

put the lightspot inside the house, let it shine on the wall u want but use the block light texture wherevr u want it to be dark on the wall.

lol

[Bluestrike]

Im trying to do a 45 degree turn here. I know how to do a sharp 90 degree turn, by carving diagonally and stuff, but whats the best way to join up these two brushes (or actually groups of brushes)? I tried doing the diagonally carving thing, but i can't get it to line up well.

That's sort of a silly way of making a 45 degree turn, but here's a nice picture :

Basically, just make triangles out of the "filler"-brushes, then line them up with the brushes you have. I noticed you are making a slope, so that's why you have to make them into triangles first, otherwise you will get all sorts of neat errors.

i would simple make curved stuff like that with displacements

like: http://www.insmod.net/team/upload/Users ... tunnel.jpg

play around with the subdivide option

[mike-0]

yea, i dont think i can do the triangle method because that dirt will be displacements and the divisions have to line up

ok big lighting question

Look at the light fade thing. See how it looks kind of like several brushes? Well, thats what i thought it was. This same effect is in de_train (it is NOT the model in the effects folder). So i decompiled train (for learning purposes you assmonkeys), and all thats there is a func_dustmotes. Howd they get that effect?

[Pericolos0]

its a model but you cant see it because theres brushes there and hammer renders them in the wrong order

the brush entities are just func_dustmotes

Indeed, Peri's right: it IS the model in the effects folder, sadly.

[mike-0]

what about the ones in de_train?

[hamst3r]

models from the effects folder. (I also decompiled train for learning purposes.)

[mike-0]

i cant use that model, the window isnt thick enough. im using the warehouse windows http://mapcore.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1966
