Been mapping a bit for doom and watching tutorials for awhile on other topics, this no joke is one of the best pieces of advice I've ever seen. And it's explained directly and clearly. I wish you did 3d modeling and animation as well. Thanks!

its 5 am, never played quake and i have a unity game project to work, still nice video

this was really helpful, exactly the kind of content I was looking for plain for getting "what's cool about good levels?"

Fantastic way to break it down and only 3 years late! 😂

amazing!

Its going to sound so stupid but I'm learning how to map right now, is there a certain keybind I can't find to select a face without necessarily clicking said face point to drag it out/expand it?

Which shortcut keys do you use to make multiple pizza-style cuts, without losing the function of the Clipping Tool? (01:10)

great breakdown and examples!

I yearn for the tunnels, more tutorials my liege please....

What palette are you using?

This is awesome dude, keep it up

Nice bricks, dude Absolutely nice bricks

2:00 what exactly are you doing to "move in"? what buttons?

this is extremely useful advice for level art in general, awesome

how did you make those doom-like monster closets?

This short video taught me a lot.

Great stuff!

Wow.

I love how you used that staircase leading down to the button by placing an ogre with the high ground to fight on the way back up. Getting the most value of your layout.

1:15 i dont understand why you do this instead of just extruding all the sides and the using the clip tool to cut them into a corner? Edit: never mind I found out by using r_showtris that it makes less triangles your way.

Me, still using baseq2 textures: "WTH is a trimsheet?"

Which level is this? I played it a while ago but I can't put my finger on it.

love you dude, your videos is very important for me :)

Do more tutto pls, your videos is best

what texture did you use for the trim faces ? I can't see because video a bit too bad quality, looks like "tech04_8" from BASE.WAD but not sure. Can't find the texture in Q.wad , idbase_mega.wad or idbase_ultimate.wad :/ Also as someone asked how did you merge? Small details I am aware, but I really care about details. Thanks!

Wow that was cool, thanks for tutto

Is this channel dead now?

hey What's the dev textures you use for this thanks

all that time spent texturing and aligning faces on the sides of the steps just to cover the faces with walls? The end result is pleasing, but there is wasted work here. Maybe I missed part of the video where you explained why you did that.

can someone tell me wheres the background music from?

Can someone get this man to upload his key oar shortcuts because the way he works and cuts brushes and moves textures just looks lifesaving and I can't find them anywhere.

So i just played the map and then watched the video. I am not the biggest fan of the monster closet design in general because it often leads to these "die once, quickload, win" sequences but this map is a nice showcase of it done well. There's enough space and paths to take to deal with situations and rarely these "yeah too bad you didn't know that lol" moments. Very nice map and an interesting video on top.

13:00 I always wonder if that stuttering movement Quake monsters have while on moving geometry is a flaw or if that is the original update rate and the interpolation on top just does not work in that niche scenario.

I think your concerns ignore that people wanting to make things in the first place will often explore the tools and take the tutorials and lessons as a crafting guide and not a creative guide. For instance, many artists in, say, anime style will begin by learning how to draw and paint from life and this is to build fundamentals and crafting techniques to get ideas out on paper. It's after that they will move into anime drawing, taking all of the life drawing lessons with them. I think you can look at teaching map making in the same way. The technique is only half of what goes into creation of something. The thought process is just as important and that's always an individual's style.

Just randomly stumbled upon this. Had to wrap my brain around this approach at first, bit it's very interesting. Thank you from 2 years ago! :)

Yay! Thanks for creating this content!!

I just finished my mini campaign for Black Mesa only to find out that I have no direction for my next map. This abstraction based mapping is so useful for mapper's block.

How much is 128 in Trenchbroom in Godot's units (meters)?

Can I use quake models for a free game?

It's too bad this interview series did not continue forever because it has become so rare to get this type of experience about "full stack map design". When current year level designers talk about their work it's often very theoretical. Love this.

So how do I map on 22.5°?

I would love to have more tutorials with textures like this. Great job

:- O

i come back here for 0:23 every time i need to make a brush curve. should just make a diagram of it at this point lmao

Great. Now I want a burger...

4:40 How do you "Shift+Click" a texture from one face to another? That hotkey doesn't appear to be working for me, but maybe there's a mode or an input I'm missing? Thanks.

Looks utterly amazing!

Thank you so much for the download link. All the palette presets in Aseprite (other than perhaps the default one) are ASS.

Great!
