The torus primitive

[~ZOMG]

Seriously, I cannot get my head around this fucking tool.

Whatever I try, hammer does something completely different to what I specify, I think.

Can someone [I]please[/I] just explain to me how to use this fucker of a primitive?

Thanks in advance.

Not really...

I don't know then, I've never played around with the torus tool.

What would you need torus for besides crashing hammer when you try to carve it? :v:

[Legend286]

Curved pipes? Displacements are good but when you need to walk in them it's problematic.

I need it for the corner of a round room I'm making.

I intend on propping it.

It's not too difficult, just takes a lot of trial and error. I eventually got a curved tunnel roof to work, took awhile. I suggest func_detail'ing it and having a block tunnel around it.

I dread to think what the brush count on that baby is.

What was the brush limit again?

512 brushes (32 height brushes with 16 segments)

I would consider modeling whatever you need, if you make your own collision model, it should work fine.
