So you got any more renders? :) And also i know you already did a wall of text, but i want to see a demonstration too. :) I like visuals.

Ki11er, send a .max 2010 my way and I shall bring unto you rendering magic :P
also, modeling a custom AR. don't point out the handle; I know it's ugly. top AR is from halo 3.
edit: now with more lighting.

I'll just leave the comment that it's an ugly and quick port, based on already existing stuff.
You didnt even make correct shaders.
Minor edits + ripz = <3

Beat me to it.
Make scope orange.

Halo 4 sounds are unfitting.

and then says "man you suck at this" if you miss. then go "heh heh heh heh!!!" in that God awful annoying voice.

who likes beaver creek? I don't! but I need the practice, so here are 3 cubemaps taken from each 1/3 of the map. enjoy!

Why do people use cubemaps that look like environments?

Not really sure why,since they look out place if the objects themselves are not in those places.
Edited by Dumb AI on Nov 27, 2012 at 11:16 PM

I assume that the point is to put them on objects in those levels :P visors especially.

REAL-TIME REFLECTIONS FTW!!! :D

lag from real-time reflections FTL :'(

Halo's cubemaps are blurry for a reason.
If you put a cubemap on a visor that simulates realtime reflection, and you step inside a base, its going to look rather silly.
Mostly the cubemaps are designed to simulate how the actual object would reflect things, and are not really about the surrounding environment.
Nice cubes though.

Imagine what it would do if you put two visors next to each other. Yo dawg, I herd u like reflections, so I put yo reflection in yo reflection in yo reflection in yo reflection... Yeah.
I suppose if the cubemap was made to not reflect other cubemaps, you could avoid that, but that's not as much fun.

they're more for scenery objects, like the water, the ladders, the structures, or (with a ton of tweaking to make it look good) the ground and rocks themselves. if it is preferable, I will post a blurred version of any future cubemap work.

Sorry about the melee, that one wasn't even supposed to be part of the set.
Heck, in my opinion everything but the reload shouldn't have been in the set.

You are correct, for static objects it is a good idea to place the center of the panorama in the place that the object is to be.
Please dont blur your images, i was just passing on info, i like big clear images.

To whoever said something about infinite mirror reflections: The cubemaps are not mirrors, they are faked reflections. What you are talking about is mirror or dynamic mirror surfaces/materials.

i cant wait for h5 style tags :) :( :D D:

I have Halo 1 tags :) :( :D D: :o

u srs?

why not post said textures instead of a vague screenshot?

Vague means the same as unclear, not clear, ambiguous, not obvious, blah blah...

I even put my sentence into format you understand.

Looks like crud without OS.

Painting the detail bitmaps into the diffuse might be a good idea... Use a set amount of repeats and mirror that in the detailmap scale, then the detail maps will have simulated spec :o :) :D :(

So yeah, I really don't think I'm ever really going to finish the Halo Reach HUD for a while since I have no energy to really complete it, especially with Halo 4 out now, and I have been working on the CMT HUD lately.

"Pop": http://www.mediafire.com/?m3mw4stdw21w4gb

So I'm just gonna give what I have, not much, but it has all the base stuff like vitals/radar, aa, and grenades.

I'll add new links if by a miracle I decide to actually continue/finish this HUD, but for right the time being its not even on my to do list. Any way have fun and don't forget to give me the creds if you use it.

Also just drag and drop the "huds" folder into your main tag folder unless you want to redirect everything...

concept arts for a project I may do when I finally learn to mod halo :O
also, I will post a download for the plasma rifle thingy eventually; just need to tweak a few things.

Isn't that Dano's texture from a long while back?

It's a shame you didn't make this. No need to show it off when others already have this.

Precisely.

Ugh, I'm really tired of having to do this:

No, Dano made it back in 2008, and it was used on the beach for SPv2's Silent Cartographer.

Please, just stop. Everyone needs to stop trying to take credit. I've been here long enough to know who made what and when and where it was shown. Seriously, everyone, stop it. Stop stop stop stop. Stop. Stop.
Edited by ODX on Dec 3, 2012 at 08:59 PM

Dano made that texture along with a plenty of other nice looking ones way back in 2007 or 2008 like ODX pointed out. Like ODX said if you've been here long enough you tend to see people from time to time using older assets that clearly others made.

Changed the "twinkle star" to shooting stars.

crappy xfire video does not do it justice.

No. He is not. He's Australian. People can sometimes be mistakenly, or intentionally, told to be the creator of something when it's really somebody else's work. (I experienced it in the past in the HaloPC modding community before it died and EVERYONE thought this popular item was made by someone else rather than me)

Yeah he still is. He keeps a low profile though. Last I know is he was helping with some textures and assets for SPV3.

Made the contrail longer.

that actually looks pretty nice

Not really..

It looks pretty cool.
