Dude I'm sorry I had to leave so quickly, that girl was sending me nude freaking pics so I had to keep checking my email and then that other girl wanted me to take her to the freaking fair.

Tip #1: Try not to have more than 3 lights hitting a single brush and def no more than 5. If you have to split up the brush like this.
Lets say you have 6 lights hitting this surface.
Obviously 6 lights is not going to be good because the game engine is going to have to redraw that surface 6 times each cycle when it gets rendered.
So in order to make it smoother you are going to split up that brush and only have 3 lights hitting each brush which is allot less demanding on your hardware.
Thats why its good to map with my vid card cause if it runs smooth on mine I know people are not going to have a problem with it.

WOW KNOX!!! !You weren't kidding man! it's looking good! I want in on this boat too, now that I have my 1337 rig fully functional. I'm also going to look into map making for Q4.
Hey CrUsH, do you know if a defrag exists for Q4 yet? 'cause if not, I'm about to get workin' on that ma'! Assuming of course I can even find a level editor for Q4.
AWESOME WORK, KNOX!!!!!! And here I am thinking your name bind was impressive... lol

Good Luck I did it pretty much with that.... the rest is just letting your creative mind go, and watch a lot of detailing and style on existing maps.
Make sure you dlwd a lot of video tutorials. And watch them a view time! To get the know the editor and fastkeys:D
