Tutorials.

#1 Starting with the extreme basics of UI and the like would be a boon to new artists using the tool. Then moving on to more advanced topics. But the extreme basics would be a great starting point.

#2 Alright, sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

#3 Here is the basic one. web.mac.com/manged/iWeb/Constructor/ConstructorBasics.html
I will be doing more. Any ideas?

#4 Show me how to make a spotlight in constructor.

#5 Hi Josiah,

is there a chance to make a tutorial about texturing meshs?
For example to place no stretched stone texture on a cylinder tower. :)
Before constructor im working with the gtk radiant .. and this editor had a great texture feature :
You can place a texture on a mesh and this texture are looping automatic without stretching!
So i can rescale the mesh without destroy the texture scale rate etc...
If there a way to use this in constructor -> tutorial :)

#6 T. John Laird do you mean a spotlight as in an object or do you mean spotlight as in light. I'm guessing u mean the object.

Alex I don't think you can do that in constructor but I certainly will check it out.

#7 Here is the spotlight tutorial.

#8 Thanks Josiah for your tutorials, so many more people can found for the work with constructor.
I hope you find a way for the loop texture feature as i gtkradiant.
Many thanks and best regards

Alex

#9 Texturing, lighting, portals, exporting, and 'rules to follow when building interiors' (as in- don't have brushes penetrating each other etc.; if you've worked with bsp before, you might forgot that new comers don't necessarily know such things) could all be good topics. A simple house with 3-4 rooms in it would probably be a useful tutorial; you could use the same house over a few different tutorials and add to it in each of them (lights, textures and portals).

#10 That's a very good idea! Thanks Twisted!

#11 Josiah, sorry, I meant the light. What you have in your tutorial is an omnilight. What I wanted to see was a demonstration of a working spot-light entity. This is how it looks in the editor:

The problem is that it is that no light shows up in dynamic mode, and when I put it in the game, I don't any light added to the scene either.

#12 LOL, sorry. I'll see what I can do.

#13 Ok, i have created a tutorial on creating a spotlight (the light) here it is:
web.mac.com/manged/iWeb/Constructor/MakingASpotlight-The%20light.html
Anymore questions or something I didn't cover completely just ask/tell me.

#14 Thanks, got it working. :)

#15 Good to hear! :)

#16 I have created a simple tutorial on making an arch.

#17 New tutorial on creating a Medieval Church. here:
web.mac.com/manged/iWeb/Constructor/MakingAMedievalChurch.html

The next tutorial will be on texturing it.

#18 Thanks a lot for all these! The church tutorial taught me a lot.

#19 You're welcome :)
glad they are helpful

#20 @Josiah: Thanks for making your tutorials and giving them to the community! I enjoy learning different techniques.

A couple of suggestions for tutorials:
- spiral stair cases like in castles.
- a tutorial on scripting for the user tools... like the "Hello World" under user>general.
- domes
- caves
