Well the way I see it. He's saying that the Half Life 2 Engine is that
good, powerful and easy to use that it's probably easier generating
the Building as a Map and then taking screenshots playing the game.
And I'd have to agree, knowing the quality of the engine, it's would
be well worth the effort and more fun. Unfortunately for the line
drawings I want it'd be over kill.
