Eric Vaughn Posted January 29, 2009 I'm currently in the process of setting up a new Doom website, mostly for textures that I am making and tutorials on how to make your own. I have my own game company where I produce the graphics for all of our games and I've realized that the techniques I use to make graphics in our more modern games are quite applicable to making Doom graphics. Since I love Doom so much, I decided to make a site for that very purpose. I've registered http://www.advanceddoom.com to put the site on but I am still waiting for my host to sort that out. In the mean time, here's the first tutorial which I have finished today: http://www.electricretard.com/doom/tut01.html I hope to have the full site up in a few days. I'd just like to know what you guys think of the layout and tutorial style. Please point out my spelling and grammar mistakes, I am very anal about those. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted January 29, 2009 The tutorial's a good read even if I'm not a metal fan. Here's a few errors I've found - listed by step number. Step 2 - grainey Step 3 - to there standards, skip this step to step 3 Step 4 - frusterating Step 6 - summerize Step 7 - straight forward (twice), if haven't used, Good luck with the new site. 0 Share this post Link to post
Eric Vaughn Posted January 29, 2009 Don't take my metal comment seriously, I'm a very tongue in cheek sort of guy. Thanks for the proof reading. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've been making sites for 1024x768 resolution for years now :( First time anyone's complained. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted January 30, 2009 Pixels are in short supply in northern Tasmania but I hear a lot of people up there manage to cope by zooming webpages out a couple of steps. ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
Eric Vaughn Posted January 30, 2009 If anyone is interested, I have the finished website up now at http://www.advanceddoom.com I still need to put up some textures and maps, but hopefully I'll have something in there very soon. I will probably make an official announcement in the Doom Editing subforum once I have something to show off in all of the site sections. 0 Share this post Link to post
