User:S Y n

My name is Ben, I am 15 years old and from The United Kindom. My screen name i go by is currently sYn. I am a Small-Time mapper for Source Based games. Normally i use mapping to pass my spare time. I also have Designed images for Various Forum Avatars/Signatures.

History

At the age of 13 i began to use Photoshop, I was able to pick up the techniques easily and ever since have made and edited many photos. I plan to ue these skills for work in the future on mods. At the age of 14 I began learning how to Map in early 2009, since then i have been Using communities such as the Valve Developer Community to learn the various features. I have made many small maps since then, but however none of these have been released to the public. These maps were merely to test out how Source SDK works. Many of these were lost when formatting my PC without backing them up.

Current Projects

I am currently working on a small modification for Source-Based games. I begun work in Early 2010, very little is done for now as i am a 1-Man-Team. The mod will introduce New Weapons to the game and a new storyline. The mod is currently unnamed and the storyline is still being worked on.

Note: Development of this mod may be Postponed due to Bugs with Hammer in Source SDK. I have tried a fix which worked for 2 hours and then hammer returned to the state it was in before i tried the fix.

Todo:  Update the Storyline

Tools

Here is a list of Programs i currently use:

• Source SDK
• Photoshop
• 3Ds Max
• Visual Studio 2008
