Good stuff :-), gnomon tutorials are normaly REALLY good

[deadsanchez]

What makes it seem worth it is the individual critiques from the instructors. So i can find out if I'm ****ing something up. And i think i read that the Unreal editor now occludes things on the fly, so no more portals.

[Reeper]

Yep no more portals, and it can support additive or subtractive environments now.

Looks good, know if the course will cost money?

[Reeper]

Mucho $
Gnomon stuff is not cheap, but its the best you can buy.

[MiStA PePPa]

Ya, I saw that the courses were $800 and up! Oh well maybe 3d Buzz will have  something.

[TheJackal]

3dbuzz has been contracted to produce training videos just as with UT2004, and a book as well.
Hopefully the videos will still be free, and should be available around the time as UT2007 comes out.

i always enjoyed his/their vids, easy to follow.

i always enjoyed his/their vids, easy to follow.

Although I found them informative, I found that they dick around too much with other students there when giving video lessons.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

i found that to break it up and keep it interesting. kept me watching sometimes. but it did get overdone sometimes.

[Fixxxer]

I love comedy, there's not many places it doesn't fit in. But when they're explaining stuff I'm having a really hard time with and then start screwing around while doing it I either get lost or just frustrated.

However, it's free so wtf am I complaining about?

:tongue:

[deadsanchez]

i agree, great for free stuff. It helped me for sure.

HOWEVER, they do dick around a lot and they drag their feet. Another thing, is (during the hammer videos) they'll totally mess up. It's like they didn't prepare. I felt like he really wasnt a wiz (the russian guy). Again, it's free so what i am i complaining about. Better a black and white tutorial online.

Speaking of which, anyone read the "Level Design" articles on gamasutra? great stuff. I'll link to it:
