making small brushes (I BE TEH NOOB)

How do you make brushes smaller than they square thing they snap to on the grid? i don't know how to get a screenshot (if anyone knows that could you please tell?), but they are about half as high as you and pretty wide (in-game). is it possible to get them smaller than this?

Well, click on the brush, and there will appear handles around it, click it and drag it to ur desire shape, and you can use this for image hosting http://www.imageshack.us/

and PrintScreen (or SySRQ) button on your keyboard, Fire up MS Paint and press CTRL+V. Save as...

I think his problem was resizing brushes to anything more accurate than
the grid. Well the simple answer is to change the size of your grid. I
recommend you NEVER EVER EVER turn off snap to grid, but instead just
resize the grid to whatever size you need. You can do this with [ and ]
on your keyboard, or by pressing the resize grid buttons on the hammer
interface.

I think it needs to be "Alt + PrntScrn"

Mine is just a 'Print Screen' button... :razz:

You can make brushes have fractional dimensions (e.g. 32.5) by selecting other 'dummy' solids with them, and resizing them. It won't cause any problems whatsoever, unless the volume of the brush is less than 1.

me is wondering, does he know he can resize the grids?

perhaps i just read this wrong :/

nope, i did not know you could resize the grid. thanks for the help! (i told you i was teh n00b)

Alt + PrintScreen takes a screen shot of the active program, not the entire screen. :razz:

EMUGOD, [ and ] are your friends.
