So, I've been thinking recently about getting into making maps for gmod n' stuff, and I've came to the conclusion that I want to have a go. Source SDK is currently installing, and I'm excited to try out hammer for the first time. If you have any tips or stuff, post them below. If I ever start making actual maps, I'll update you guys on progress n' stuff, although it's obviously going to be a while from now.

I'm pretty experienced in mapping and if you have used google sketch up then it's really similar.
Video tutorials are great 3kliksphilip has made some that can be useful but I'm also really keen on helping. Btw, the first step would probably be to make a skybox since you can playtest the maps without one.

Biggest tip would be to wait it out. Have patience. Mapping takes time. It may look like shit but you need to stick to it. It will become better.
