Nice tutorials mate. Coming from Hammer 1, this new software is so much better! I'm wondering what the 'best practice' is in terms of brush work - Is more square-shaped brushes better than fewer complex brushes? Now that it's so easy to extrude faces and create complex brushes, I'm naturally inclined to block my floorplan out with one brush, rather than lots of blocks as I used to in Hammer 1. Do you know if this method is good or bad in terms of performance?

[@CSJxlp]

I’m in the same boat, moving from source 1 I’m not sure what the appropriate workflow for source 2 is yet, once I find out I’ll make a video about it.

[@Dredile]

@@CSJxlp Please don't work with brushes lol, Source 2 is mesh based. Start with planes and extrude with edges rather than 4 sided blocks

Subbed, love your style. Only thing that did not work is the displacement tool just stays red and does not affect the face.

[@CSJxlp]

Thanks🙏. I haven’t used the displacement tool very much in source 2, so I’m not sure what causes this. Try asking in the source engine discord, someone in there will probably have the answer.

Could you do a turtial on using external objects not made in hammer 2 has a map surface? I love using tenchbroom for how quick it is to make geometry.

[@CSJxlp]

Youd have to import it as a model and use it as a prop in the level

[@guyclegg]

@CSJxlp does people geometry and mesh geometry get processed differently in anyway? Such as how they might be culled in the render depending on where the player is lookingM

[@Parsa.a298]

How do you play your map Fullscreen? Mine is windowed and doesn't let me turn it into Fullscreen

[@CSJxlp]

If you cant change it in settings, try adding “-fullscreen” to your cs2 launch options

[@CSJxlp]

But for testing purposes, playing windowed is just fine

[@zucth8447]

I having so much problem with copy other object texture as my current brush. In old hammer was this feature. Anyone know how to do it on source 2 hammer?

[@CSJxlp]

I think it’s something like shift + right click

[@milesjohnson7122]

My texture browser is not in the bottom left

[@CSJxlp]

You may be able to bring it back if you find it in the “window” tab in the top bar

[@lemonch1k_22]

Hello, what I must do if active material window is missing? Please help

[@CSJxlp]

Look for it to re-add it in the “views” or “window tabs”

@@CSJxlp where i am having trouble to find it

[@CSJxlp]

@@CaptainKevo should be at the very top of hammer, below the window border where it also has "file" and "options"
