Windows BSP Converter ("WinBSPC") is an utility that can load Goldsource BSP files and use their polygons to reconstruct Hammer brushes. Results vary depending on the complexity of a given map.

Unlike other decompilers, such as e.g. BSP2MAP, to create an output file WinBSPC converts the map into a single solid brush and carves out the geometry it finds in the BSP. The end result is a moderately acceptable brushwork, that is provided the decompile process reaches completion, as this system tends to fail quite often.
