I would think that you would run a large risk of LOTS of leaks that way. I dono smiley

It'd be hell to try and find a leak in that mess, but the result is well worth it.

hey blasterX, the link is indeed down, but I found out that if you click the link, you can change the url from snarkpit.com to snarkpit.net and it'll work!

So this one should work: http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/reno/tutorials/terraintut.zip

Welcome to the Snarkpit by the way smiley

Edit: Oh the same goes for the other terrain tutorials by the way. Good luck!

You shouldn't do that with this because the triangles are bsp geometry (goldsource doesnt have displacements) and the most optimum thing to do is fix a hole in the triangles rather than putting a null brush under everything to seal the world.

Apparently though regarding optimization, covering the sides/bottom of the triangles in the bevel texture (bevel = null + removes clip nodes) helps a lot.
