Here is winter and it's already hitting 40�C. Fire and brimstone. 

 

Rio.
We're having Rock in Rio these days. Korn, Motley Crue and Metallica will play today. Lots of friends going. 

Also what the fuck do the equations indicate in czg screen? 

Trying to carve a sphere using 7 cylinders... It has ground to a halt.

Only then do I realise I'm missing 2 axis of cylinder to make a good symmetrical sphere.

Running jackhammer via wine probably doesn't help either.

Please stop. Just stop. 

I made it work for me another way, better than the carve tool could anyways. 

That post caused me actual physical pain, like actual pain in real life.

It's the mapping equivalent of goatse, but somehow so much worse.

Madness. Absolute madness. You're lucky Jackhammer didn't uninstall itself. You don't deserve nice things. 

the carve tool is really interesting, because in some situations it can be really powerful, and in others it just balls things up.

of course this situation was PEBKAC. 

Duke Nukem Forever was made entirely by carving spheres using cylinders, hence both its quality and production time. 

Is only useful in very few cases. You'll usually get better results with clipping.

that last annotation comment 

Is shit.

I don't think I've seen any package where boolean operations don't turn your geometry to garbage. 

I smell a Carve Jam coming ...

Wrong. It's never useful. The only reason I can think of for the carve tool existing, is because it's some kind of running joke amongst editors and a "hilarious" "troll" towards new mappers, because they always seem to fall for it, like every time.

It's like the editors are going:

"oh look mr new mapper why don't you try this awesome magic tool that lets you make cool geometry really easily - hahaha PRANKED you've just produced the mapping equivalent of runny dogshit lololololol NOOB" 

my brain just imploded after watching that vid. How (s)he did not cause a rift in space time and get sucked into the void during that is beyond me.

I can only hope that this is trolling and not honest attempt at mapping. 

he actually did it the absolute madman hahahahahahaha! 

It lets you make things like cubes simply and easily:

That moire is beguiling. 

I use carve from time to time. TRY AND STOP ME.

It's a good shortcut for knocking a quick square hole in a wall rather than duplicating/dragging/clipping the existing wall brush until you get the shape you want. It's actually more efficient in that case.
