bull crap it not the same thing looks like it to me..

grammar helps, you know that?

Also

there are huge differences. Besides I already had a concept going and I kind of used parts of it and re-built it.

But yours fires green! FOOM!!!

Then you must be blind, because anybody can see that those two models are NOT the same.

Some map?
About 1-2 hours of work, mainly been changing the layout as I go. Haven't yet fully decided the layout, nor the theme/art.

Started from a box, and extruded/connect edge from there.

Working in blocks of 125 and 250 mainly.

Detail will be added later, once I decide on the final layout.

Detail/theme it as a Pillar of Autumn map.

wider hallways, fffff.
well, it would be easier than creating a whole custom geometry, I could just take hallway sections from the POA BSP.

Did you model that off that one section in The Ark from Halo 3 cause that's what it reminds me off?

Yes... just not the exact same dimensions but a tiny bit larger for MP map.

Looks good so far. Make sure you give the terrain more personality.

I haven't been on in a while...
Life always takes priority.
But...

I have a little progress on my bsp for you know what:







I took these a bit fast, sorry for the crappy cropping

Remember, I haven't lit this yet, and there is still way more detail to be added.

But thar's j0r candeh.

EDIT: pictures fix'd

Testing out a method to create modular cliffs that can be FFD'ed to create variation.
Pretty cool, I'll start using it.

it look like it was a river flowin and had various waterlevels throught eons, so erosion became evident... WTH... why I post such a story...
anyway it looks cool man ,l..l

reminds me more of h2's gravemind

@Moose

Cool, I really like how you followed the advice and got rid of most of the purple light. The more natural lighting flaunts the BSP better. Also, great use of green lights, they contrast well with the purple grav lift, and deviate from the normal blue\yellow.
Keep up the good work!

Omg sexy. Can I test please? Your craptastic old version was just horrible , in terms of the lighting.

@ Moose

Still haven't fixed any of the geometry yet? I would try doing that soon.

Since my only connection to the internet right now is via iPhone, I cannot post pics of the newer version I just churned out this morning. But, tomorrow, I will upload a video I took of it to some site not blocked by school systems.

Since taking these pics, I have integrated a crashed pod and door directly into the bsp itself, and have relit the map with moar green light coming from the lights, making the tunnels awesomely greenish. Also, I have already, since the fugly alpha bsp version, made numerous changes to the geometry and texturing of the bsp, making heavy use of a detail strips texture. I have also improved the looks of the spire/pillars themselves, making those ugly box areas at the top flow much better. Next, I will be adding some cover around the map in the form of Hang em High style thingys.

@Higuy, adding more detail to some of the geometry in here will prove very challenging, if almost impossible, to me. What I have made so far tests the lmits of my abilities. I really don't know where to go in this case.

iphone sucks. you are an apple slave.

i dont see nothing wrong with it

Hai thar.
I said I would give a small update on mah purdy bsp, and here it is.



...and a video (sorry for the bad upload, this is the only site allowed on school blocks).

Like iiiiiiit???

Dude! The lighting in this map may have just made me have to clean my computer screen.

Lol, it's that good?
Thanks.

If there is anything that would be nice to add to the bsp, please tell me now. I am about to put a touch panel inside the circular base and do some further touching up of the map.

Why use ODST fp arms if you're using a spartan biped? also, something about the cliff textures don't seem right.

ROCKS


ZBRUSH'S POLY PAINT SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

Edited by DEEhunter on Sep 10, 2010 at 08:03 PM

DO VERY VERY MUCH WANT, THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE ALREADY.

@ rocks

The top one looks pretty decent. The bottom one looks acid decayed. If thats what you're going for, huzzah.

lol the upper cliffs have a50 bitmaps when the cliff rock texture is icefields use a50 cliff inner or just a50 cliff :P

Woah woah woah, hang on a minute, you have an SPI Biped?

I hope you're planning on releasing that. I've needed one for a while now, but the only ones that have been publicly released kinda... suck.

Echo Echo Echo... If you are just seeing it now, it won't be public for a very long time if at all. Or if you have friends in high places that also sometimes helps.

bo released um...

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4889

Actually, the cliff texture is a layering of the icefields and fracturecliff bitmaps. The top of the cliff itself is completely custom, and uses the same texture of the ground. Do you suggest anything better for a semi-snowy map with the mood I am trying to keep?

EDIT:
@Echo, this is Bo's SPI biped, only modded to have a blue visor and darker armor. Although it looks kick-ass, doesn't it?
Edited by MoooseGuy on Sep 11, 2010 at 04:16 AM

i like the cubemap on the visor.
