[Video Tutorial] Modeling a modular level piece

So yah, since nobody else has made a decent map modeling tutorial I did. I only modeled a small piece, but it still filled up about three freaking hours of video. I think I explained everything well, but the noobs have to determain that.

The video is 400mb, sorry. I tried everything to make it smaller without crapping up the quality, but this was as small as I could get it. It took 2 days to compress this video, so I REALLY don't want to split it up into smaller videos. Enjoy. (yes, I know my voice fails)


Update; Split Download:

First (123mb):

Second (118mb):

Third (137mb):

I'm not making the videos any smaller. Most people who will use these have high speed internet, and the download should only take a few minutes.

lmfao.

you know you can just have the video play at what, 600% speed, and only have it no normal speed when you're doing something that's not totally boring.

pur some damn effort into editing it man, nobody is going to download a fucking 400MB video when you can do the same with a less-than-1-mb tutorial with a few images and text.

too much effort?

Too much effort? I never thought I would hear that from you Tweek. I don't know how learning modeling was for you, but for other people it can be damn hard. You know how fucking worthless those videos which were sped up were when I was a noob? I couldn't learn shit from them, nor could I learn much from a text tutorial with a few pictures. The whole point was to make a tutorial which explained every fricken boring detail. Basically, the tutorial I was dieing for when I was a noob. Also, conscars told me to explain it really well.

I agree with you 100% on the file size though. I've been trying to trying to find a good video compression method, but the best I've got is a little over 2mb a minute. I'll split up to video into smaller pieces.

Hey, good job on making a tutorial! I'll see if I can have it downloaded by tonight. Want to work together on breaking it up? You do first half I'll do last half?

I think tweek was asking if it was too much effort for you to speed up through the parts where you said nothing so the size would go down.

I love vid tuts but...sweet Jesus what have you done? 400MB??

You have SO many options...either you compress it CORRECTLY or you SPLIT the video into multiple parts. Isn't this common sense?

Ahh thanks man. I agree with everyone the size is a bit big, but it only took me 8 minutes to download so I'm not complaining. Anyway, Gonna go check it out now, I'll leave a comment on this later.

400mb :eek: I would look and be a critic on it but I'm not going to download something that big. Heck that's bigger then the Halo Custom Edition installer exe.

400 MB ain't that bad. I once recorded 6 minutes in Fraps and it was just over 4 gigs >.<

Anyways, it takes around 7 minutes to download it, so I am going to watch it and comment on it. :)
Also, the final results look pretty good.

Fraps doesn't compress the files corrrectly so the files end up being very big. To fix that problem go into Windows Movie Maker and save it again, the file should save ten times smaller then what fraps saved it in. Also it took me 45 minutes to download the Halo CE installer (I have high speed but it isn't really fast but faster then dial up).
