Looking for Hammer Alternative familiar with most Source games.

[Ethan]

I need a Hammer alternative easy to use, like the Dota 2 2014 Hammer.
I've looked everywhere and found nothing.

3DS Max + WallWorm

Is it compatible with source games?

[Cheeki]

Probably it is.

[Wazanator]

Yes the plugin was made specifically for Source.

There's also Sketchup + Sketchup to Hammer plugin. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SketchUp_to_Hammer_Export_plugin

[Ethan]

I'm looking for a easy-to-get program (no purchase, subscription or account)

[Wazanator]

Well you're pretty limited. Hammer is what you are going to come back to every time when it comes time to add entities BUT you could use something like Microbrush to make the geometry. There's also sketchup like Quartata suggested but that is always iffy as it is easy to get off grid which leads to another host of problems.

There are no shortcuts. You are going to have to learn to use Hammer if you are interested in making maps for Source based games.

I've been trying, could somone link to a beginners tutorial for hammer? But I know there are tutorials for beginners but I'm really nooby.

Why is that a virus?

[Wazanator]

Because Kaspersky has a false positive https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/99c7cd6b1f7e3f4f8c473674fa2f03602be8d0fe38b9c5d7454ff9759a153faa

The person who created WallWorm works for Autodesk now so that would be very very silly of them to do that.

Also you probably want to use Hammer++ if you are looking for a non modeling software alternative https://ficool2.github.io/HammerPlusPlus-Website/pages/features.html

If I want to edit gmod maps that have multiple game files and loaded content... will hammer++ be able to do that?
