Any Qualified Mappers Like To Host A Class?

<div class="IPBDescription">I'll provide a Ventrilo server.</div> Just a thought, but would any of you qualified senior mappers be willing to host a class or two on Ventrilo? Perhaps an hour long, the teacher could walk us through more difficult mapping techniques like vertex manipulation or particle systems. It would be hands on as the students would be practicing as you instructed.

I have admin access to a Ventrilo 2.2 server and would be glad to host it. Prospective teachers and students reply here to show your interest. We could meet on #nsmapping on class night and I would then provide Ventrilo server IP, port, and password.

    Yeah but if you're "listening" to someone telling you say, how to create a difficult shape, when you screw up and don't know why he's right there to help you. I'm self-taught by nature but some of this stuff is overwhelming to me. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    i'd be a willing student, indeed. I just ask the pros on the boards which works <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But a class would definately be nice. Sounds like a great idea, hope one of the pros comes forwards and offers to do it *hint hint*

    i cant plan out maps worth crap, but i know hammer inside-out and upside down so i could probably help out with creating rooms and the basics for the map to start.

    Would depend on your availability ... my guess is these classes would occur during the evening EST.

    I am thinking the opening session/s will cover the creation of complex shapes (using vertex manipulation etc) and also particle systems.

    Thanks for volunteering! I pm'd you but am not sure if this forum's pm system allows one to send a pm to multiple recipients. MrRadicalEd is the one you need to contact, and GiGaBiTe will be assisting also. You 3 get together and let us know which evening during the week is best for you guys, and I'll see if we can get more mappers interested in attending. Vertex manipulation and particle systems will be covered in the oppening session/s.

    there are some tfc maps every now and then that look pretty good. although there are some that are eye burning hell (oops forgot to run rad!) with insane r_speeds. you have the mix of both in that mod.

    Damn I wish I was around for the PS tutorial, but I suppose a little light (HEAVY) reading won't do me any harm (or my eyes any good).

    Cue up an advanced lighting class too while you're at it!

    Actually what would be really good is if you got someone to right minutes from the classes, and post em in this and other forums. Thread could be locked and each post could begin: Mapping School Lesson #1: Basic Brushwork (Vertex manipulation etc.) and Particle Systems (etc.),#2 etc.

    ETC!

    Sorry that I haven't been around lately. A lot of it is due to the fact I don't have a lot of time to spare with trying to find a job and enrolling for fall classes... life after moving)

    I've got a map that I'd like everyone participating to download and look at with me pertaining to the particle system. A lot of it, for me, is finding a good amount of time, but I haven't given things up.

    The project's still alive: we're waiting for MrRadicalEd to coordinate with the other instructors.
