Modeled Buildings

[kittybum]

I have a small shop which I made in a 3D app and I was wondering if is ok to just use the shop as a entity in my map or should I remake it in hammer? (Players will be moving around in the shop and there will be other entities whin in the shop (Shelves, Books, etc..)

If they're moving around in the shop it'll probably be best to redo it in Hammer, the stuff inside would probably work best as models...prop_static's, prop_physics...etc.

yeah thats what I was thinking ;(

Thanks for your help.

yeah. make the building in hammer, but all the bookshelves and chairs and items and signs would be better if modeled.

Worlds = Brushes
Props = Models

Unless you're talking about a 3D skybox, which is a different beast of its own.
