HL2 Mapping - Beginner HD Video Tutorial Created 16 years ago2008-11-23 17:51:22 UTC by RenStrike

Some HD Videos I made for people to start mapping for HL2/Source using the Valve Hammer Editor.

These Beginner videos pretty much cover everything you'll need to start building/mapping for any Source engine game (Portal, TF2, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike, Day of Defeat).

Comments are appreciated.

I'm going to be starting some more tutorials soon. What specifically would you like to see?

Very nice tutorials. Nice and slow, simple. As for future tutorials, I think it would be a good idea to do a beginner tutorial on mapping outdoor environments specifically. This way you could cover things like displacements, environment lights, and proper use of the sky brushes.

Thank you very much . I'm going to watch your tutorials to initiate myself in source mapping. It's pretty much the same as hl1 mapping I know but I like watching tutorials anyway
