you make it with brushes

Surely it isn't hard to knock up a brush based suspension bridge without a tutorial.

it would be

Would be what?

a suspension bridge

Well...that makes no sense in context. Take time on it, and i'm sure you can knock up a suspension bridge using a few reference images.

im not good at it

Do you think that all mappers were born knowing how to use hammer and manipulate brushes? Allow time to learn, and learn how to take criticism, and you will grow as a mapper.

Here is something else that can help ya: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=519418[/url]

Best way to do it for now, would be to start with a simple brush based rough of your bridge. ( mostly to reference where the main pylons, and the pathway will be. add some temp brushes for the suspension wires. And slowly work on manipulating the brushes, to add detail. One thing I've learned is to never rush a map ( or part of a map ). that's how you end up with blocky maps, that seem more fitting for the goldsource engine.

how do you make archs

[QUOTE=TwistedFate;17146835]how do you make archs[/QUOTE] If you've got MSN, PM me your email addy. I'll try to help you via that, while others post any help here.

A brush is any shape you make unless you turn it into an entity or a displacement.

ok im already getting help phoenix thanks so much for your help kind sir

Maybe you should really look at some beginner tutorials on youtube or something. I'm all for helping someone that wants help and suggestions and I think you guys have done a good job at it so far, but if you have no goddamn clue what anything is to begin with, it would be more productive to just search for tutorials then to ask us how to do something/what something is every 5 minutes.

ok

Good stuff.
