Revision as of 08:56, 29 December 2008

This page should give a simple explanation of the Transform Permananetly command... work in progress, feel free to add.

shunted from the beginner faq:

When you're trying to rotate a brush and it doesn't want to, it just changes shape as you try to rotate it, this is what to do.

Brush Context Menu -> Transform -> Transform Permanently

Also use Transform Permanently on brushes which you've scaled, etc.

Alignment

Align the textures *after* you used transform permanently, since it will reset your brush completely, including the alignments of the textures. Try to use it while you're finishing your map, and only if you're positive you won't change the brush anymore.

Deep into Transform Permanently

When using Unreal Engine 1.0 and 2.0 versions, brushes vertex values are not updated if you rotate or scale up/down it. It is using Rotation,MainScale,PostScale and TempScale to do so. See sample brush here taken from AS-Mazon(Unreal Tournament) map:

Begin Actor Class=Brush Name=Brush6
    CsgOper=CSG_Add
    MainScale=(SheerAxis=SHEER_ZX)
    PostScale=(Scale=(X=50.000000,Y=73.000000),SheerAxis=SHEER_ZX)
    PolyFlags=67109132
    Level=LevelInfo'MyLevel.LevelInfo0'
    Tag=Brush
    Region=(Zone=LevelInfo'MyLevel.LevelInfo0',iLeaf=-1)
    Location=(X=4352.000000,Y=-4000.000000,Z=-16.000000)
    Rotation=(Yaw=-16384)
    Begin Brush Name=Model7
       Begin PolyList
          Begin Polygon Texture=Swater4a Flags=67109132 Link=0
             Origin   -00064.000000,-00064.000000,+00000.000000
             Normal   +00000.000000,+00000.000000,+00001.000000
             TextureU -00022.719593,+00019.566399,+00000.000000
             TextureV -00028.566942,-00015.561364,+00000.000000
             Vertex   -00064.000000,-00064.000000,+00000.000000
             Vertex   +00064.000000,-00064.000000,+00000.000000
             Vertex   +00064.000000,+00064.000000,+00000.000000
             Vertex   -00064.000000,+00064.000000,+00000.000000
          End Polygon
       End PolyList
    End Brush
    Brush=Model'MyLevel.Model7'
    PrePivot=(X=64.000000,Y=64.000000)
    Name=Brush6
End Actor

When using "Transform Permanently",the editor updates vertex,prepivot,origin and normal values so that Rotation and scale values are not set.

Here you can see the "transformed" brush:

Begin Actor Class=Brush Name=Brush6
    CsgOper=CSG_Add
    MainScale=(SheerAxis=SHEER_ZX)
    MainScale=(SheerAxis=SHEER_ZX)
    PolyFlags=67109132
    Level=LevelInfo'MyLevel.LevelInfo0'
    Tag=Brush
    Region=(Zone=LevelInfo'MyLevel.LevelInfo0',iLeaf=-1)
         Location=(X=4352.0,Y=-4000.0,Z=-16.0)
    Begin Brush Name=Model7
       Begin PolyList
          Begin Polygon Texture=Swater4a Flags=67109132 Link=0
             Origin   -3200.0,4672.0,0.0
             Normal   0.0,0.0,1.0
             TextureU   0.39132798,0.311227301369863,0.0
             TextureV   -0.31122728,0.3913279726027397,0.0
             Vertex -3200.0,4672.0,0.0
             Vertex -3200.0,-4672.0,0.0
             Vertex 3200.0,-4672.0,0.0
             Vertex 3200.0,4672.0,0.0
          End Polygon
       End PolyList
    End Brush
    Brush=Model'MyLevel.Model7'
    PrePivot=(X=3200.0,Y=-4672.0,Z=0.0)
    Name=Brush6
End Actor
