...And the lighting preview finally works
heres a comparison:

Normal "3D Textured" mode:


"3D Lighting Preview" mode:

(render time: 1 second, only needs to be rendered once every map load.)

"3D Ray-traced Preview" mode:

(render time: ~1 minute, needs to get re-rendered every time you move the camera.)

I have a AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ cpu and 2 gb ram, so you can guess how long it will take to render on slower pcs.

Looks cool.
Say what map is that?

Do I have to install Episode Two for this?

Wow, Looks Great.

I think you just gotta add the command line like they say. and choose between ep2 or ep1 (ep2 default & ep1 you still set -engine ep1)

And im not sure if you need ep2 installed for it to work.

Wow, i expected you to say "omg the 3D Lighting Preview looks retarded"

npc_combine_armored.cpp

The SDK Launcher is also useful because there will be no topics like:"My SDK doesn't start, OMFG!" on mapping boards.

The 3d preview/raytracing thingy looks ok...
Other Editors have that already, but Hammer is still my fav.

That sounds interesting, where exactly is it, I want to take a look.

Edit: Found it.

Id like to see Hgrunts in broken escape 2...and mortar synths...and aliens!
off topic i know, any idea when the beta gets updated to orange box engine?

Hgrunts and aliens are totally out of place in that map, but maybe i add synths.

npc combine armored is almost like the original heavy combine soldier from the leak with the armor you had to shoot off. I wonder if Valve will end up using it.
