Hmmm... I'm going to have to look into fixing that... Right now it's actually a diamond shape.. There's a crease running up the 'back padding' of the chair and when it hits that highlighted part at the top of the chair, it splits into a diamond shape...
I suppose i can just weld those parts together - save a few polys...
Thanks for the input rim!
So who knows how to export a model to Half-Life?

Somebody discovered their clipping tool. :3

Clip? HAHAH! To make those papers, I used rotate and carve

The clipping tool is much better than carving. Carving often causes errors and is often a slower process.

Perhaps I'd rather not know what did you carve.

Here is my newest version of some sort of a poster/document of the Tau cannon I made. It could be used in a mod or a map or wherever. You can use it if you want. Though a little credit would be nice.

I'd so love if people could actually make the texts bigger. I love to read signs in-game, especially if they're rare and have a meaning.

I could make the text readable but there is little official information on this weapon.

Yeah, but i need specific sizes and shapes for the mountains.. can i specify that using a displacement generator? Would appreciate some tips btw to make them look les GS like? =)
And yeah, they look pretty bad. right now, i'm just trying to get the approximate shape and size correct. I have a bunch of tutorials on que to watch/read, but i'm just having fun with them atm..

Looking at Captain Terror's remake of Nuketown just makes me want to pull a retro and make one for TFC.

@ Captain Terror
Its basicly pulling and stretching stuff. I tried the generator a few times, and it looked pretty nice. But it was for GS. Here download it and try it out:
https://sites.google.com/site/gshltools/mapping-tools
Its made by Nems.
Also, this looks pretty good, and not GS at all, because its very large. Basicly i think it would look less GS like if the textures are good, plus there were more layers of hills or something.

Ya, i'm kinda getting fed up with getting my displacements to look correct atm, so i'm moving on to care packages 
Here's an updated pic of how they look atm anyway:
Also, got some hints at interlopers how to improve the lighting, and i think it definitely looks better this way.
JOEBAMA: that would be awesome.. perfect map for TFC!

Cap that looks pretty tight. Excellent lighting. I'm a bit confused as to what that satanic orb-tower thing is though. Looks like a creeperbot9000, jumbo sized.
Dimbark, that last shot is a pretty massive improvement over the first shots you posted here, keep it up.

A little update to my slowly progressing HLDM map. I think it turned out pretty good. You can't see but there is floating dust in the light and it looks really nice. What you think about the grass details? Also the machine gun turret is probably going to be removed.

@Dragos: I don't know about the blueness of the moonlight there. I'd say make it a little less saturated so it looks more like moonlight and less like a blacklight.

well i am not a pro mapper but i see a lack of details ;o
i suggest to map a nature alien swarm map with mountains and water + some bushes, trees
ps. once i compiled an alien swarm map i got a lot of errors just like a pure kick (_|_) u know that sealed_structure is more like a kick ass

must say alienswarm does look fun.. ill have to give it ago, and Huntey looks grand man, except for the last pic.. that radiator has got to go, it would be fine in an old house, but they dont make them anymore, especially for an office type of building. Other than that, looks sick man

Looks like you used carve to make that hole in the 2D view at the bottom left. Very messy brushwork. Never use carve. Ever.
Also, you have snap to grid off?

Don't listen to these heretics, Dimbark. NEVER use snap to grid, and carve is probably the best tool in Hammer. All the professionals use it.
Another good idea is to set texture scale on everything to about 0.01, and create a giant skybox around your map, preferably at the very edges of the grid. That way you'll prevent any and every leak that might appear in your map!

While I always enjoy seeing Crollo make himself look stupid, I've gotta say that being sarcastic around Dimbark probably isn't the best idea. I'm worried he'll take it on board as honest advice.

We must go deeper.
Leaving aside the joke, you actually have to learn how these tools work so you know how to avoid them!

Yeah, carve and not having snap to grid are only techniques if your goal is to make a crappy/broken map.
If you want to make something good, you pretty much have to use clip, unless you want to make more work for yourself, and snap to grid is mandatory.
