    Not true. I am sorta a noob mapper but I get how to use everything in Hammer and I do use them. Now if there were a tutorial to expand your attention span that would be nice. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes it is good for noobs, but there are many like this and also many of the links in posted above are out of date now. only one of the NS-specific tutorial ones works anymore.
