Tutorial requests?

Haha even though I almost never post here and it looks like I'm not active, I frequently visit snarkpit.

Anyways I was just wondering how I should go about making some tutorials? I've got some free time but I don't know what kind of tutorials people are looking for/ snarkpit needs. Any ideas?

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place delete if neccesary.

Just look through the editing forum and the tut list to see what is common and missing respectivly.

Yes, as Tracer said. You can also Free range..Find something new that took you a while to figure out? Slap up a tutorial. Found something thats really simple to you, yet complex to n00bs? Slap up a tutorial!

Find a dog eating a rabbit while reciteing a poem? Get the hell out of there. Fast.

Here's a link to a VERC Collective article I was writing on architecture. Never worked out though, thankfully - really too wordy and complicated, and altogether not very useful. You can try reading this giant epic though if you're bored out of your mind: (not exactly saying it'll get rid of your boredom though)

Too wordy or no, that is a great and enlightening tutorial, I really suggest you finish it off mate.

egads, that things bigger than wild cards tut :biggrin:

maybe break it up into smaller (much smaller) subsections?

There are a lot of sub sections and this leads to lots of white space, so don't be put off by the length of the document, there isn't actually all that much text to read. If you have a spare 10 minutes sometime it well worth a read. Pity the pics don't work :sad:

I've been reworking that one into something more concise - basically ditching a lot of the beginning about work process and such. Also working on a lighting tutorial too. But everytime I read through either, I always get the impression that I bullsh*tted the entire thing. I guess that's what level design theory is anyway, eh? :dodgy:

LOL, very much so :smile: I took a more tutorial esque approach with mine, going through step by step examples, but after those have been done its far better to read through theory ones, it leads to much more creative thinking.

Im in desperate need of some good looking arcitecture tuts :smile:

I was going to do a simple tutorial on light_spots and correct use of light_env and how to get the best results using things like teh diffuse light hack. These are such regulary asked questions on mapping boards, particulary verc that i decided it'd be a good idea.

Maybe i'll do a simple step by step article on MMs as they're quite tricky for people to get their head around. Who knows. Maybe i'll just write one on random entities.

Infact i think i may over the christmas hols, stand by for tut on:

-light spots, light_env, multimangers, multisource, game_counter and maybe an env_global for good measure.

Some great entities^^
