Nice tut.
So basically I can map for NNK with my basic Hammer skills, but it wont be with the nice skybox or any shaders etc.? But playable in the same way?

Probably, but not with all the stuff I guess.

I have one question.How to play with Anbu 

[SV]

You can definitely apply skyboxes and fog settings to your maps. The settings can be found in your map configs. [gfx/maps]
Watch the video, it explains the basics of the config file, about what each section does. Most of it is self-explanatory anyways.


@ koki smoki - ANBU is not a public character. You can't really play with it.
And please don't go offtopic again.

And how can we use the Trees etc. in Hammer?
We need a tutorial for that.

[SV]

The trees are 3ds mesh. Means they have nothing to do with hammer (unless you want to do collisions).
Look at the tutorial. The part where Ready exports the geometry into 3dsmax. That's how you should add your trees.

[zanzoken]

But is there a way to use single trees without using 3dsmax? Because I do not own it and I heard its really expensive.

[SV]

Use milkshape. It can also export 3ds model format.

[DJ-Ready]

I think I should make a big mapping faq witht he same stuff as in the vid tutorial and possibly more questions answered -.-"

[Senpai Uub]

nice, hopefully to see great maps from fans!
keep up the good work nnk-team!

[Rygopt]

Use milkshape. It can also export 3ds model format.

I don't know how to model in Milkshape... doesn't NNK come with a default 3DS file for a tree we can use?

Just google it man. The things you want to do are done in hammer.
