Looking for a Source Level designer to help me Thread

The title says it all. If there is a extreme source level designer that could help me getting better so my mods can get better.

I'm not really the best one you could get but I can help if you don't find someone else.

What can you do in hammer?.

There is some WIP work on my profile.

I would help me alot if you learned me how to do those things.

There is lot of useful tutorials in youtube, then just trial and error. That is how I learned what I can do now. Still improving though.

practice practice and practice.

I had about 20-30 maps done before they even began to not suck

Practice! Exactly!

If you want I could help, although Im not exactly the king of source. the valve wiki developer.valvesoftware.com really has taught me everything i know. Check it out if you havent already.

I have checked developer.valvesoftware.com and to be honest it didn't help much.

Are you stuck technically? If not then you will want to check references outside of the game world.

Say you want to do an industrial level, try going to flickr and looking up industrial references. If you are just starting, don't hesitate to copy it as well as you can. After doing that a few times, detailing and design tricks start to show themselves to you and become part of your toolbelt

lol, the post above this one is perfect! I'm not allowed to post urls yet, so cut out looking-for-a-source-level-designer-to-help-me/ in the Url place thingy*, and paste this. level-designer-looking-for-a-mod

*proof I'm a newb right there.

Look at 3kliksphilip's vids on youtube, they helped me start out.

Honestly bro, just practice.

If you need help with Hammer, I'm willing to give you some advice. I'm actually hoping to post up a couple tutorials on my page, but just send me a PM and we can talk over what you need help on.
