On joiner detail and greeble

This is a blogpost that was sent to me in SecondLife and i thought it brought some very interesting points about detailing in video games, but also the "detail bloat" i have seen in secondlife since a long time ago.

It also present a tool that might save some time to those who use hammer editor for mapping :)

Enjoy the reading everyone :)

Pretty interesting article about Joiner, though!

Yeah, it's these primitive forums - been around for ever and we don't want to upgrade because we'd lose all of this good stuff!

I still think they should upgrade the forums and leave an archive available for reference. But I know that Zach is probably overloaded right now anyway....

As for the article, it'd be awesome to write a script set for the editor that would generate stuff like this using the sketch tool.
