So it looks like Facepunch's next sandbox game (potentially Garrysmod 2) is gonna be in UE4 - Games

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52806756]This discussion got me curious to look and see if there was an existing solution for decent brush editing in Unity, and lo and behold there actually is -vid- Definitely gonna try this out. [editline]21st October 2017[/editline] Basic version is free, sweet [url]https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/11919[/url] Layla if you're reading this, might be a good thing to pick up some good ideas from.[/QUOTE] I was gonna bring this up. I actually use this and it's really great :cat: Mostly because I'm so used to Hammer that mapping in a modeling program is ridiculously weird for me. This was a great solution. I sound like a shill but I'm not, I promise :v:

In hammer it was hard to make cylinders and arcs with how points would only snap to integer values, so even adding more detail meant losing the uniformity or symmetry (Ie the points of an Equilateral triangle cannot be expressed with integer values)

That's neat and dissapointing.

Maybe they're using floats instead of ints, that should solve all issues, right?

Otherwise, try the triangle formed by the coordinates (1,0,0), (0,1,0) and (0,0,1). This triangle has sides of equal length, from integer coordinates.

Will be there at least a realtime texture editor for props? I am bored for seeing these same things in every map :v

Shit, can we have a launch option that boots us straight into the map editor? I want to use this map maker for every non-Unity game I make lol

Man this makes me excited.

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;52808724]Shit, can we have a launch option that boots us straight into the map editor? I want to use this map maker for every non-Unity game I make lol[/QUOTE] yeah and would be nice to have support for exporting to fbx or obj :)

[QUOTE=war_man333;52808802]yeah and would be nice to have support for exporting to fbx or obj :)[/QUOTE] I think that's already supported based on previous dev comments regarding creating our own importers/exporters

Afaik it just snaps to the nearest grid point when you create an object to prevent offgrid vertices. If you needed more detail you can make larger shapes then scale them down.

Will we be able to have concave geometry?

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;52810327]What does this mean, as someone who isn't a developer?[/QUOTE] It's a subtractive brush. As in it removes stuff (basically carve except not shit)

I wonder when this will be done enough for me to make an hl2rp server :^)

I'm not interested in the old hammer anyways its just a question of whether the new one will allow for more organic shapes, or even let you import an .obj to use as map geometry rather than just map detail.

It's pretty much the exact same thing as happens in Garry's Mod when holding Shift + E. It just has a nice animation instead of an insta-snap.

That was to show SanAndreas model importing, not the physgun.

Port Big Smoke and then we'll be talking.
