Cafu Engine

It's been released, you need VALVe's 'Steam' service installed and HL2 pre-ordered. While it can open maps in .map format it will only save in .vmf which means that no support for Ca3DE .

Don't worry, we're working on CaWE. Working a LOT, and it's making good progress (e.g. Kai has just finished a great set of new GUI icons). Once released, it will render Hammer obsolete for Ca3DE mapping, and it will support Ca3DE specific features, of course. Until then, Hammer 3.5 does still exist to bridge the time.

Btw: Do you happen to have a link to more information about Hammer 4.0?

Will there be a Terrain Editor in CaWE ??

Its very hard to make got Terrains now

Well due to my work on the icons i think so
All i can say is, that there is a button in the toolbar that is called "create terrain" ...

Yes. Initially, CaWE will natively display terrains, and have a "update terrains from heightmap image" button.
You can then run your favourite terrain editor separately from (and in parallel to) CaWE, press "save" in the terrain editor, ALT+TAB to CaWE, hit "update terrain from heightmap image", and immediately see the changes.
This is still not perfect, but almost.
Later versions of CaWE will also have terrain editing features directly built-in.

Yes, you're right. I really hope to significantly improve that with CaWE. That is one of the major reasons why we are working on it, after all!

Well, there is the Source SDK documentation :
