hammer 4 - 2d background Created 13 years ago2010-07-26 11:41:42 UTC by Captain Terror

Anyone know a trick to changing the default 2d view(the grid) to an image, as you would in a modeling program? models show up this way natively, so i'm guessing there is a fairly simple way to do this..

I can think of a couple tricks to pull this off, like just texturing a "cubular" brush with what you want to show up in the background, and then port it to a model (Using Propper, or any normal modeling prog), and WALLOP, it will show up.

Is there a way though to do this more cleanly/simply?

Aside from creating a reference model to use, it's not possible (short of modifying Hammer)
