That was beautiful. I need more!

Awww, I was gonna make a video doing this but you beat me to it. Funny shit.

No! You did the one thing that should never be done! Think of the brush count!

This would be great in the mapping section

Amazing

I can hear Hammer crying itself to sleep while begging for the nightmares to end.

Oh god I'm not even a mapper and i started laughing so hard i was coughing

would of been better if he compiled it :v

i laughed way harder than i should have like i get that this is supposed to be an in-joke among mappers but i still lost my shit

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;39287794]would of been better if he compiled it :v[/QUOTE] Dude, it probably wouldn't. I have had shit far less crazy then that that wouldn't compile in hammer. Fuck man can you imagine how fucked up the visleafs would be with that if he didn't func_detail it all haha, wow.

reminds me of this [video=youtube;xh9Kr2iO4XI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Kr2iO4XI[/video]

[QUOTE=Dog;39289515]reminds me of this [video=youtube;xh9Kr2iO4XI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Kr2iO4XI[/video][/QUOTE] it's like someone managed to condense the experience of slitting your wrists open into a youtube video

[QUOTE=Dog;39289515]reminds me of this [video=youtube;xh9Kr2iO4XI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Kr2iO4XI[/video][/QUOTE] Not sure if satire or user doesn't realize how many brushes he is making.

ALL THE MICROBRUSHES. Please no. Edit: And while this is an in-joke with mappers, its unfortunately VERY common with people mapping.

The way you carved it looks like a Terminator traveled back in time.

Carve tool: Weapon of Mass Destruction and annoyance

Carving is fine as long as you don't use overly complicated shapes, and apply nodraw to the sides you can't see. it short. it's good for making holes in things :D

What is the music from? That was fantastic.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;39291511]What is the music from? That was fantastic.[/QUOTE] OP's video: Jaws theme "Creating uneven ground with carve tool" video: "Eple" by Royksopp

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;39291511]What is the music from? That was fantastic.[/QUOTE] Its the Kirk vs. Spock battle music from the original star trek. [video=youtube;GHAOkDamRzU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHAOkDamRzU[/video]

Goddammit OP, can you not read the rules? No cruelty allowed!

I was on the edge of my seat.

what the fuck i am dumb it was not the jaws theme. not the jaws theme at all. i knew it wasn't EXACTLY the jaws theme, i thought it was just some version that a band made.

Is there ever a time the carve tool does anything good?

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;39294666]Is there ever a time the carve tool does anything good?[/QUOTE]There's really no reason to use it. Especially when you have tools like Clip and Vertex Manipulation. Hell, even the Developer Wiki tells you not to use it. :v:

It's almost as bad as using make hollow.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;39294666]Is there ever a time the carve tool does anything good?[/QUOTE] It CAN, but it's never a better idea that just doing it by hand.
