Bad Texture Alignment on Brush Geometry and Displacements
Fixed in VMF Exporter 1.21 (WWMT 1.768)
The current VMF Exporter does not yet export the correct texture alignment, rotation and scaling on brush geometry and displacements.
Displacement Proxies
Displacement Proxies allow teams to work more efficiently with displacements in multiple files.
Displacement Texture Scale Sometimes Incorrect
Understanding Displacement Blend Texture Scale
This page explains one cause for displacement materials to be scaled incorrectly in Source as well as the solution. You should use bitmaps of equal dimensions in both materials controlling the Blend material.

VMF Exporter
The Wall Worm tools allows you to send your 3ds Max scene to Hammer and Source via a VMF Exporter.
Incorrect Rotation on World Geometry
Fixed in WWMT 1.867
In earlier versions of the VMF exporter, non-rectangular faces on geometry produce inaccurate texture rotations.
