• Easy way to create shaped brushes?

What would the best way to do this be: I'm re-creating Worms: Armageddon as a gamemode on gmod. I want the map I'm creating to be a bunch of func_breakable patches put together so that when they get destroyed it looks quite dynamic. Any way of doing this without turning 70 on the way there? Sample: [img]http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7647/warms.gif[/img] Each func_breakable brush has to be a "puzzle peace" fitting perfectly in each other.
clipping and vertex manipulation I suppose
Be warned: There is a maximum of 1024 func_breakables. This is hardcoded into the compile tools. I do not know if you could use a point_spawner to add more than that in-game.

Also, yes, that would be good, but making each object fit perfectly... it would take decades. Y'Know what would be nice with Hammer? A simple pen tool. Make your selection, cut, ta-daa. New objects.
Clipping not carving
I would make model for each piece if I would be you.
I would use propper to make the brushes into models but then again, I'm a huge faggot
*Whistles* That's a lot of work. Then again there isn't always an easy way out, is there? [B]Edit:[/B] Since I'm überlazy I'm going to type this: If for some reason you feel compelled to help a Norwegian düche just out of pure will or kindness , could you PM me?
The best maps have a lot of hard work put into them. Keep it up. It's a good idea.
Bad Idea - Easy job Good Idea - Hardcore job Medium Idea - Quite some work to be done
