Just in case you haven't heard, some people reported odd looking models in 3D view in Source Hammer. Seems to be an ATI problem. Started happening after a recent Steam update.

Since I couldn't find here I just thought I'd post a temp work around until Valve fixes it:



Make a desktop shortcut to Hammer and add -dxlevel 80 to the command parameters. Same for modelviewer. Restart steam and launch Hammer via this shortcut.

Oh GOD this helps. THANK YOU MUCH LOVE!

but how do u create the desktop icon. Whenever i try right clicking it only gives me the option of launching the program.

go to your "email@ etc/sourcesdk/bin" folder and right click the hammer.exe, choose "create shortcut", put this shortcut on your desktop and modify the "target" line.....

Haha awesome. It works THANK U! But unfortuantely the Paint Alpha blend textures are switched around, oh well. Better that than the stupid model bug.

thank you
