The idea behind the
project was to put two different artists together. Gilby who is the
music and
graphic artist and i (GeNiaL`) as the games
moviemaker and
webdesigner. At the moment we both are working on a
Half-Life2 and
Portal story movie. It was the first time we both worked together.He created most of the
concept arts and i built the
map. Of course i had to use the
Hammer Editor.
During the work with the Hammer Editor, Gilby wanted to work with the Hammer Editor as well. So i had to start to show him how it works. In this period we both came up with the idea that there might be more persons out there who would use the Hammer Editor to create a
map but dont know how to do it. So the idea for the
Tutorials was born.
The Tutorials are for those who want to create a
gamemaps to play on or use it for a movie and are missing some of the
basic tools. Our Tutorials are
different to others because we start with the very first step to give
beginners the opportunity to start from scratch. We are explaining the Hammer Editor bit by bit to move on to the
Face Poser of Source SDK. We start doing them in
english. At that time
Bunnydeluexe was already working on the background with us. And she came up with the idea to do them also in german to make it easier for the
german audience.
After the first Tutorial which was put on
youtube and had a little
success we decided to create a Homepage for our projects. I started with the design. Gilby started to write some of the
texts. So here we are. Our
Website is still
under construction and gets everyday some new features.
