Sand In HL2 maps Created 17 years ago2007-03-12 15:23:21 UTC by Abydosgater

Hey,
Ive been working on both HL2 and HL2DM maps that i want to put sand into,
But i cant seam to find any "Sand" Textures in Hammer. I know there must be, There is lots of sand in HL2's mission sandtraps with all the antlions so..

Anyone know where to find the texture?

edit: Its ok, sorry, just my n00bness, the sand textures all have grass like thumbs, didnt even notice them, Sorry.
Thanks,
Andy.

If you don't know some textures like those you speak of can be made into displacements and the blend options allows you to blend say sand with grass to make your level more realistic.

Remember, you can filter out textures with some basic keywords. Chucking the word "sand" into the filter box would've given you a couple of results.

You should use it if you have troubles finding textures next time. Keep in mind that it's not incredibly good: if you use the subfolders for the textures, you should get better results. For example, grass and sand and all that are located in the "nature" section. You can also use "blend", as a fair few of the natural textures are blend textures.
