Noobie No Draw Question Created 18 years ago2005-08-10 09:53:58 UTC by AlexPM

Hi,

If I have a brush that is placed on the ground should I put a NO DRAW texture on the underside of it? Its only faces that are on the outside of the map that don't need NO DRAW textures right?

Thanks

Any face that doesn't touch the inside area of the map gets culled by the compilers. Don't worry about them.

Your face only touches another face, no space, right? Then it doesn't need the nodraw texture.
As a thumb-rule, nodraw textures are only effective on faces that are rendered, but not seen by the player. For example, the brushes you have to put behind displacement maps to seal off the map.

Yeah its touching the ground face. Thanks

nodraw does the same as the HL1 "null" right?

Essentially.
