Hey guys,

So for those of you who’ve been following Outbreak: Condemned, and a lot of my level designs, you’d know that our team have been beta testing software called Microbrush 2. This software is amazing, I’ve been using it for so long now, that I’ve found I can’t start a map without actually starting it in it first. MB2 brings brand new features such as merging, face-dragging and paint-selecting. Shrinker released his press release for Microbrush 2 last night:

Microbrush 2 is now publicly available to everyone. This general-purpose brush-based 3D level and model editor features an unique interface that drops traditional paradigms in favor of a much faster work flow.

The software uses a new type of interface delivering an all-3D editing experience that has not been seen anywhere else. MB2 is able to manipulate tens of thousands of graphical primitives while retaining complete control over each of them.

Among other things, there are conversion utilities shipped with MB2 that enable importing and exporting Valve Map Files, to speed up editing for any Source engine based games. Additional importers and exporters can be built from the included converter framework source code and by using the powerful property system that interprets 3D data.

Building converter plugins for MB2 is a fairly simple process and requires considerably less effort than is necessary to adapt file formats for other common modeling programs.

Seriously! hosts the official support forum for Microbrush 2. If you need help with it, this is the perfect place to go for technical support and for discussing your exploits using this new editor.

Seriously! as stated above will be hosting the official support forum for Microbrush 2, I myself will be contributing to Microbrush 2 in creating Video Tutorials that will be specific to the software. I will also be maintaining and providing the Microbrush 2 installer version, so be sure to check that out too. Alternatively you can download it through Seriously! and Shrinker’s website.
