Convexer - (and also my map)

[hgn]

making this future skyscraper pendulum type place. it will be for 2v2

mostly a proof of concept, since it was made without opening hammer at all.. we'll see how the rest goes.

I see Blender interface 

Is this something similar to wallworm/3DSmax approach?

yea very similar idea to that, i taped together some of my old programming projects to export everything from blender as brushes/displacement. Hammer is almost unusable for me on my OS so this was the best workaround i can come up with.

How can something sound both so cool and so scary at the same time

Will you make this tool available at some point?

maybe in the future there will be a proper release, but cant promise anything..

the source code is public here tho: https://harrygodden.com/git/?p=hcsgo.git;a=tree.

warning its heavily written for my workflow and currently the script (at least, large chunks of) only work on linux

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

FYI there is also SourceOps for blender wich automates exporting models, brushes and displacements from blender to csgo
 

Concept looks cool! Love seeing unusual places seeing used.

making a skybox, takes fucking forever to render into unlit textures. still needs stars and that where its just purple currently but happy with it

@csWaldo I would have mentioned sourceops, but it doesnt support exporting UV's on brushes and the displacement method is a bit wonky ( i mean, it was based of my original version ). So those features have questionable utility to be honest.

I really like how that turned out

first pass on interiors pretty much done

note above screenshot is in blender since i havn't finished writing a material compiler, but if you are curious this is how it looks in game:

Spoiler

the big ball thing also moves about too:

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