Great tutorial. I've looked at a lot of other tutorials around the web, but this one actually made scene. Followed it to the word the first time, made it perfect. Now it just as easy as, well, applying textures. Great work!

good, but I find vertex manip more usefull for fitting a cloned portion of the arch to the wall.

Yeh I found this really helpfull a year ago when I was atempting my first map with arches.

Its easyer than carving cos you dont have to go around and fix all the crap that thecarve just caused, and it also looks alot better then when you carve.

Decent enough tut, although those 6 brushes on either side of the arch can be made into one. :)

Nice, but the effect looks a little quake-ish or maybe its just the textures.

I think its a great tut for people new to hammer and level editing, nicely described and detailed without being patronising.

Matt, it is the textures, they are from Deathmatch Classic, which is a remake of Quake deathmatch.

Hugh, how could you combine those 6 brushes into one? It would create a concave brush, which is illegal.

Hmm... Lovely arch, lovely tut, but one thing:

I don't quite think that most HL or C-S players out there are goign to be paying that much atention to there enviornment. Having 24 sides it a little off the wall, something like 16 might be better, since most hl players dont apreciate all that fine detail -- they never take the time to stop and "look" at the world.

Great arch though :)
