My first portal map

Speed run of my own map lol. (I challenge anyone to beat this level faster than me!) I might give a link to the vmf file next week..

This is the first time I try to do something with the sdk Portal hammer editor. I must say it was quite fun to make. Maybe a little too linear but I still like it.

Actually, this is not the entire map. This is only the first room. I was suppose to have 3 rooms like this but then I ran out of time. :( Lighting is pretty much a last second addition. I didn't do anything fancy.

C&C welcomed of course. I'm still a fairly new mapper so I welcome any suggestions.

where you download the map editor? :(  ...good job

[EvilLuisito]

@charlesleroi12 Hammer editor comes free when you buy the Orange Box . Not sure but I think it also comes with Left4Dead. Thanks.

Level design is a fairly new job and it's not very understood by many people.

The level designer has to: write a level design document, prototype, script gameplay, blockout map, write an asset list and work tightly with the game designer, modelers, animators and programmers to ensure that everything goes according to plan.

Environmental artists are modelers (not designers). Their job is to model, texture and light the levels. e.g. Turn a grey block into a house or whatever.

This is great! I don't see why your portfolio on interlopers has such a bad rating.

[EvilLuisito]

Probably because 14 year old kids don't know the difference yet between a level designer and an environmental artist. They'll be surprised to know that it's actually the modelers' job to make the levels look pretty.

@charlesleroi12 Its simple just go to Library > That drop down menu that says games > Tools > Then find source SDK

INstall that and find Hammer I think... I dont know I use a mac so its useless to me my friend did it.

[Ldinos]

Now you're breaking windows with portals.

@charlesleroi12 no. you must have source games installed to be able to use the hammer editor. sorry :/

[charlesleroi12]
