[WIP] [WIP] The Room
Quote from DannySwish on September 18, 2011, 4:06 pmMy first Portal 2... thing. (aka, NOT a map, just a room) This is first time I ever used Hammer PERIOD. As you can see, I'm not exactly good with it yet, this is just practice. If you guys know how to align textures and how to align walls perfectly, PLEASE let me know! I'll get better eventually.....(P.S. I cannot find the Companion Cube prop! aaah!)

Quote from Random on September 18, 2011, 7:38 pmSorry, when I saw the map all I could think of was this.
Anyway, you'll definitely want to take a look at the wiki for tutorials like spongy said, until you get the hang of things.
To align textures you should just have to use the face edit tool and adjust the x and y "texture shift". Make sure "texture lock" is checked under tools. And always have snap to grid enabled (most people do anyway, but it causes a lot of trouble later if you don't), and you should usually use powers of 2 for your grid size to make it align better.
