Vida Marcell Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 So i'we been looking at half life: alyx's graphics and i cant say a word about the level design, how did they make it so good. But now i want to ask about this: how can Source 2 handle these type of brushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I don't know how that was created or what I am looking at. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttiki Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Source 2 handles world geometry differently than Source. It doesn't use CSG any more but meshes. Creating a level with Source 2 is more like making a big model (composed of different models). You don't need to create 3 brush to create a doorway now, only one block you cut out and extrude (just like in blender and other modeling software.) That's the reason they could make the world so good, they didn't have the limitation of simple CSGs and could model things directly into the level editor. 2 Quote Just making games for fun.

Josh Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 One idea I have had for years is "facades". This is a mesh a brush face gets replaced with, so if you just drag a box out, it will be covered in windows and walls in a repeating pattern, like a texture. 3 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Vida Marcell Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 And if i do this in ultra, i mean i import my custom meshes, and i dont use the brushes. Will the game run slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 No, Ultra always runs ultra fast. That's why it's called Ultra. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
