That's random.
And start by giving it it's due bump...

way too smooth; the floor tiles are supposed to be angular since they are forerunner tech.
and they are incredibly dark.

Sky for UI !
Annoyed that the anims are not posible on the UI.

idk what you're talking about *shrug*
Also, if you're using OS anyways, there is going to be a flag in OS 3.1.0 to enable em as well.

i would like to know how to remove that requirement.. :o

also.. i dont want to use OS.. (unless you can use OS to add animations in the ui and then compile to be compatible with default Halo, i mean.. with no OS installed..)

bad UI is bad, but app is nearing completion.

edit: should I enable bump mapping as an option?

The requirement for animations is having a player. If you've used flycam in a multi-clustered map, you've probably noticed some AI just frozen somewhere far off; this is because the player is not near by. For cinematics however, bungie included script commands so that the game could continue moving with the absence of the player in the immediate area. These commands are PVS commands. You can set a PVS object, or a PVS camera.

(object_pvs_set_object <object>)
sets the specified object as the special place that activates everything it sees.

(object_pvs_set_camera <cutscene_camera_point>)
sets the specified cutscene camera point as the special place that activates everything it sees.

So, as long as you have a single cluster UI map, a PVS cam should be fine. But, if you're doing a more advanced UI map like a whole SP level fly through, the OS option would be preferred.

I thought kirby or Waffles proved it possible already...

also, H3 UI *drools*

But I thought Mangenkyo was working on it?

yes, im working on it (soon i will post pics.. but i dont want to yet..)
GAIGHER helped me with sky/bsp... i need help from someone who can convert these models to tags files, so i can use it in the UI (because i dont know nothing about compiling sky/bsp, but i dont have 3ds max either, so... :/ )

Working on sort of a SP style map model. It's my first outdoor model so I have no idea how to texture it well nor how to approach it.
I'm used to only doing FP animations and I wanted to do this.

Any help would be appreciated as long as it's easy for an idiot to understand.

Thanks.

don't make it huge, use your space and polygons efficiently

instead of having your cliff texture tile, unwrap it accordingly with the snow at the top of the cliffs. This actually makes a major difference in presentation.

A new exodus is on the horizon.

Firefight Portent?

Looks pretty ominous, Maniac. I like it.



All shall be revealed soon.

moar epic soundtrax plox?

and here I thought sir moosesalot was done with singleplayer maps! looking forward to that reveal *o*

Seriously,that looks like a section of Portent.

could always just be a Portent THEMED map.

Masterz1336? Lol....

What's the difference?

Still extremely similar.

Go play Firefight Portent.Isn't the playing area really similar to the BSP in the pic?

I don't work with TMM or go by h3freak09 anymore so obviously fake.

You're right. I just went back and played Firefight Portent and it does look extremely similar.

He's giving every living/dead person credit,for some reason.
Edited by Dumb AI on Jan 22, 2013 at 08:57 PM

Why do you say that?

It kind of looks similar, but then again Delicon20 could be right.

Optimized to 1900 triangles. Thanks to killzone for model.


Does anyone know how to deal with these reach textures? I mean removing transperency and stuff.
Edited by altis94 on Jan 23, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Killzone was the one who extracted textures too so there isn't much I can do now. I dont have reach maps or anything by myself right now.

oh my god, 5 blue stripes?

can the CE engine handle it?

I would say, yes and no, but i think we all know the answer is no and yes.

Maybe...

Hey pope, where is the best place to look at pictures that you have uploaded?
