SDK

OK, I’ve looked at my steam account, and it says I have SDK, but I have no idea how to access it (it’s not in the ‘my games’ section)

help?

It’s in your ‘Tools’ menu.

OK, it’s being installed right now. Whilst I wait, will someone post some screenshots, to give me an idea as to what it actually does

The SDK can do a variety of things. I use almost exclusively for trying to make maps (The Hammer editor). So that’s one thing you can do with it. It also contains a model viewer, and a choreography tool for creating facial animations (I think).

For more information on the SDK:

Your in luck, I’ll never actually use the SDK but I was bored and found these tutorials on youtube.

Thanks guys!
:smiley:

This may just be me, but it seems incredibly similar to an editor I already have;
ever heard of Serious Sam Editor?

Still, I really needed these tutorials, so thanks!

I’m still having trouble with the skybox. If I set it to hollow ‘-32’ (like in the video), then the actual map changes to the same colour as the skybox

Or do, but only sparingly, and only then if you are absolutely aware of it’s limitations.

ttly use carve guys its awesum

Carve a sphere into a torus. It’s like totally sweet.
