Mesh Editor

[aylaylay]

I've merged the first version of the scene mesh editor. This doesn't replace hammer but is the first step to get us making level geometry directly in the scene.

Going forward this will evolve with peoples needs and improve over time, right now it should be treated as a tool to prototype levels.

Report any issues and let me know what you think.

Features

• Half edge structure, triangulate polygons
• Select faces, extrude, inset, detach, delete
• Select edges, extrude open edges
• Select vertices
• Create block primitives, box, plane, stairs, etc
• Apply materials to faces, adjust uvs
• Move, rotate and scale selection
• Collision types: None, Hull, Mesh

Is there a planned option to export as a vmdl? Or was that added since the initial release?

[aylaylay]

Yes, I want to add this.

If this tool is going to be really useful, why do we need Hammer? I think, the only one line the development of level geometry would be better than two.

And I hope we'll see multiplayer for mapping.

[aylaylay]

Hammer would be phased out once it's not longer needed. This can't happen over night.

[FullStack0verfl0w]

I don't mind replacing Hammer if Mesh Editor is going to be as satisfying to work with as Hammer.

[ZombieAnomaly]

Will this be CSG like hammer? Or more additive like pro-builder?

[Nolankicks]

Any plans to add hotspots?

[aylaylay]

Yes
