One eager soon-to-be Leveldesigner waiting for this tutorial to come out. Looking great so far!

Hi Grimber,

You got it ... for the most part. There is more than using WED, though. The tutorial even covers things like doing research for your level or project, color matching textures and other such things. The bulk of the tutorial, though, is about actually building a level itself. It is NOT a step-by-step guide on how to recreate the level I show in the images. It IS a guide to the processes I went through to build it with additional tips, tricks and such things that should help you in building any level for any genre.

Hey Dan I was wondering if you were gonna talk about or could you talk about map entities and how they help out the level portal wise. Also the only problem for me with map entities is they help out with portals but the only thing is why are they affected by the sun? They always come out to dark in the level is there any way around this to match with the original level geometry. If let's say the level is indoors where the sun cannot get to then how can you light up the map entitie? Thanks.

While I will not be addressing portals in the tutorial, I will indeed be addressing getting map entities to match normal level geometry and the use of 3DGS' Sun (or not using it ).

I've been waiting for this along time it seems , It sounds like a great tut with
the info you shared so far , Just what i needed to make better levels. Thanks dan.

Hi Dan, for the most part this tutorial looks to be great. I can't wait to see what can be done after reading it but....will this be usfull for every edition?
seeing as lighting will be no prob in a6 for any user.. but what about a5 users with std or extra? O_o

BTW - The written tutorials are completed. Now I am formatting them so they can be made into Help Files and I am proof reading them. There are many images included in the tutorials as well.

So it should be ready in a few days?

I am hoping to have the tutorial and demo game (small, two levels) ready by the end of the week. It is up to Conitec as to when they release it, though I assume that will be very soon.
