[Source] Looking for advanced lighting, optimization, and scripting tutorials.

[HoodedSniper]

Does anyone know of any really detailed lighting tutorials, ones that make use of all the entities needed to make a map look professional and how to do proper shadows and HDR and all that?

Same with Optimization, does anyone know of any good tutorials that go in depth on how to do proper optimization?

Lastly, im looking for any tutorials that make use of scripting in hammer, I have never found a tutorial on scripting with hammer, I cant even find anything about it on the SDK documentation, things like prop_vehicle_airboat make use of the script airboat.txt

Have you read the mappers encyclopedia?

Most of it, I didnt realize there are intermediate and advanced lighting tutorials on the SDK.

But still, for optmization im looking for one that shows you how to do it right and give examples, instead of just explaining what they are.

Still cant find anything on scripting in hammer.
