Half Life 2 mapping tutorials?

[userman122]

Are there any good HL2 mapping tutorials out there?? My main goal now is to understand and know how to create doors. (My mapping skill level is very low, you see)

they have a buttload of other tutorials as well, and is in my opinion the best mapping community out there

so go get yourself started

There's a mapping section that I guarantee will be a great help: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/forums/38-Mapping[/url]

And Firegod522 (on facepunch) is also [I]very[/I] helpful.

He can direct you to his tutorials and other user made tutorials.

Oh cool. They're up again. Last I heard they were gone for good.

Here is a tip - Facepunchers love it when you create blocky maps covered in dev textures because it looks very artistic.

Yeah, and carve random brushes into hollowed arcs. Don't use the entity, func_detail, because it's shit.

And lastly, here's a good tutorial on making terrain.
