Would anyone be willing to help me start out mapping

Post by MrGoat »

I have downloaded the beginner tutorials and I followed it the best I could, but I still got a few things wrong. Also I don't Really understand Guerilla and Tool. Basically if anyone can show me the basics or show me what I did wrong on those tutorial maps it would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Someone should post a tutorial that uses GMax, because thats free and lots of mappers are penniless.

well i use gmax, and the only difference that i am aware of is that you must use Chimp to export the .jms or use .wrl

well, what helped for me and is a good reference guide is the hek tutorial that came with the tool kit. there are actualy a few diffrences between 3ds max and gmax. to export with gmax you need the chimp exporter, put the file into the scripts folder (or in the folderwhich allows you to auto load it) another major diffrence is the material editor. but you can easyly get used to it, just a little bigger.

about a tutorial, i could edit the 3ds max tutorial that came with hek, but that would require me to peal myself from the map im puttering with.



first... what do you need help with, ie what did you screw up :P ?
