In theory, there is the capability to produce enormous buildings to quite a high detail level. I would probably say that 10 storeys is probably getting to be too much on a realistic level (if you go for all the trimmings).

10 would do me. i shall begin creating my small-ish office block of fun, with the crap paternoster lift of death.

woo!

hopefully i'll be able to get started on a test level tomorrow, i'll probably aim for 15 floors of 30 rooms or so, nothing too complicated, but should give the engine something to stress about :twisted:

to those learning hammer, SAVE LOTS it's a bastard for crashing when you don't want it to

Thankfully it's never been a bastard to me...

Guide coming along nicely, most of the text is written now.

yay!

i think hammer just gets in a mood sometimes, had very few crashes so far, but when it has, it's been messy

Work on guide going quite well. As it's almost completed, I thought I'd show you the front cover...

Okay, guide written, Berk's already agreed to go over it for me, but I could do with someone else (who doesn't know me quite as well) to give it a quick scan to see if it all makes sense.

Is this a introduction for new users?

It's really a guide to give hammer users of all skill levels an idea of what sort of methods and thinking an architect might use before designing a building.

I'm more of an Unreal mapper to be honest. I have been looking for a reason to download the hammer editor though so count me in. I will have to learn it mind but I'll have a crack!

Will download the guide when I get home from work, cheers guys.
