I would prefer if they changed to model based mapping instead of brushes.

What do you think the brushes are?

[arbiter901]

Brushwork is not the same as modeling.

As a developer for source, id have to say hammer could be GREAT with a few improvements. If they gave the static meshes(the model work) AI navigation and proper lighting that blends with the environment, itd be great. Also, they need real time editing.

you need to make the models in order for you to use them as brushes.

I want source to be the unreal engine but still be called source

ftfy

you need to make the models in order for you to use them as brushes.Hammer has predefined shapes called brushes which then you can manipulate with one another to your liking. Sure I can export my scene from Max to Hammer but, my geometry has to be labeled as brushes and be convex.
