| The Beginning: |
| The idea behind Lamda-Rising was actual just a joke among friends. At the release of the Orange Box by Valve on October 2008, all games in this package have been played through. Meanwhile the idea of creating an own map or machinima video arised. But without any knowledge about how to do something like this its impossible to start a project like this. That was the cause to read many tutorials online and watching some videotutorials on videoportals like youtube. Many tutorials you can find on the web are badly to understand or hard to realize. The other thing is that many videotutorials are not available in a good "high-image-quality". In spite of the rusty start many functions of the hammer editor were clear. After many failures while creating a map, some conceptarts (2D & 3D) arised. But the basic knowledge isnt helpful to create a good map. As said before most of the portals has just tutorials in a poor quality, functions like "weathereffects" were worked out without any help. By the reason that there were so many poor videos, the new idea to create tutorials with better quality and make them easier to understand was born. So the idea to create videotutorials and an own map where linked by now. To advert to this projects the website Lamda-Rising comes into live. From time to time this website was grown more and more. So it was clear to change the whole thing from "Map-Project" into a "Community-Project" called Lamda-Rising. The content should be just videotutorials, musicproductions by Ember Music and this mapproject. But everything turned very soon. Many Users were thrilled by the idea that was behind the whole thing and the first videotutorial "How to start the Hammer Editor". So after many User E-Mails and private messages on webportals the project grows and got more complex. |
| The Presence: |
| Meanwhile our website got many detailed tutorials for beginner and advanced mappers, an comprehensive downloadsection, many informations about projects and the team and many options to get help to the questions you have. The team has grown from two by now to eleven members. Every member has his own function on the website and is working on it very well. Lamda-Rising is now represented on many communitywebsites like youtube, myvideo, clipfish, vimeo, myspace etc. Our website is in thanks to our sponsors Jacobi22, Textildruck-Wolff and DAP-Clan improved and got backup in many different ways. Meanwhile we had the chance to create some textiles yet and some "Promotionwear". But these arent available for the public yet. |
| The Future: |
| In the future we want to create more tutorials for the Hammer Editor not only written down but also as a videotutorial to help our users. But we also want to do tutorials for more categories like Photoshop, GIMP, mIRC, Windows etc. In addition to this we want to do contests, add communitynews (Steam, SDK and more) and want to expand our website functions as well. But that isnt all. There are many things that we are planing at the moment. Keep your eyes open you'll notice that in the next month or years. |
