downside to carve tool - Developers

VALVE: Oh we need a good level editor for our engine, lets port this one and rename it because we are in a hurry. I'm sure we will get around to make a better one in the future. 15 years later...

Ever since i* started using carve as suggested in this vid i have been able to improve my maps a lot visually, while increasing the map's performance. Why people dislike this method i do not know [/quote] Taken from the comments.

[QUOTE=CAS303;31839704][B]BRACE YOURSELF:[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Kr2iO4XI[/media][/QUOTE] [i]Wow! That's totally a better method than using displacements![/i] But seriously, that's going to instantly crash Hammer due to the large amount of messy brushes, let alone cause it to lag very badly.

I love the end bit when it crashes and he says: "you need* a very good computer to use hammer because it crashes a lot"

[QUOTE=CAS303;31839704][B]BRACE YOURSELF:[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Kr2iO4XI[/media][/QUOTE] Now try to compile this mess :P I remember that once i used the carve tool and the map wouldn't compile.

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;31824028]no the point is to never use carve , just completely ignore it.[/QUOTE] Oskutin taught me to make stuff like that using 3 brushes, and connecting with slanted corners. [img]http://gyazo.com/b64ddf701f8ef39c6f2cd8446f209269.png[/img]
