==About Me==
I go by Rigor Mortis in pretty much every game I play, usually with [usaf] tagged on the front of it.  Many people just call me Rigor.

I have been playing first person shooters since Wolfenstein 3d, and have been making maps for them since Duke3d and Blood (if anyone remembers Blood.... such a good game!).

Anyways, now I'm making maps with Hammer - just trying to put out some quality Portal maps for the community's enjoyment.  I just need a little help and a ton of free time to get all the maps done :)


==My Contributions==
Minor (but very helpful) adjustments to:
[[phys_spring]]

Articles/Tutorials:
none yet - I'll write something when I have more time.

Useful info not worthy of its own page:
*3d skyboxes don't agree with Portal currently - we can only hope valve will fix this eventually.
*Don't put a prop's texture on a world brush or vice versa.  Props and World brushes are lit through two different processes, and this causes problems if you mix and match them.

==Recommended Links==
Understanding visleafs and portal based rendering is vital to making good maps.  I highly recommend reading this article: [[Optimization_%28Geometry%29#Visibility|Optimizing Level Geometry]]
