in Mapping
Hai folks! I was asked to show how I go about trimming and detailing, so I decided to record some footage to showcase my specific methods. I accidentally recorded 2 1/2 times as much as I intended, but with some editing I managed to reduce it to 1h46m.

    Hehe it's mesmerising seeing Sprak being driven for mapping. Although, 5x or 8x speed would be more mesmerising, gottah love those timelapse vids :D

    The most challenging part looks like choosing what texture or prop to use at any given moment.
    Nice work

    The room I worked on in the video was just for the purpose of the video. I won't be using it in anything. I didn't want to do a video of me working on Caged, because that's a lot more boring. A lot more texture/prop selection, deleting things I made that don't work out, etc. I may do more of these, but will probably try to keep them a little shorter if I do.

    If there are any specific requests then I could keep that in mind.

    I have not watched the video yet, so I could be wrong. Is it possible to break the video/s into 15 minute sections? 15 minutes or less seems like the ideal time to me. I don't know what topics you cover though.

    It's me trying to detail a greyboxed area, with some unnecessary bits cut out. I don't narrate it, except for an introduction at the start.

    @Flaterectomy it would be realy nice if you could make some detailed beginer toturials. For example what does that button or how to make rooms less square.

    I would just start with watching the SCC tutorial playlist. Let maestro mendasp teach you the basics :D

    I want to see you detail the area entering the west side of Ventilation System on caged, that comes from Purification.

    That placeholder wall that's there is getting replaced with a prop supposedly? I want to see it all tie in!

    I assume you mean the top, side, and front views. You can click Alt+W to switch between a single viewport and all four (or click on Maximize under 'viewport' in the dropdown menu).

    This being a similar video, I'll drop it here. I was talking with @Kasharic about his level ns2_unnamed and promised him I'd show how I'd go about making some of the elements in his map. May as well share it with everyone.

    As this is a video of Flaterectomy explaining how he would make these, and Flaterectomy actually making them, this would be Flaterectomy's video, and so he couldn't be leeching off anyone... :P
