Wall Worm
Wall Worm is a set of pipeline tools for 3ds Max and the Source Engine. It allows the artist and development team to create models, textures, materials, levels and more inside 3ds Max. It was originally known for the Wall Worm Model Tools that optimizes the model-exporting process, but has expanded into the entire Source pipeline.
