Pretty good :D

poly wastage and inaccuracies.

how can you say that? have you seen the wireframe?

Look at all the extrudes on the walls. Plus everything else that is going to be modeled, not just the main area. Even Stfloyd knows its high poly already.
Edited by Advancebo on Mar 15, 2009 at 09:47 PM

yes ALLL of the extrudes on the wall which total to be what? ~200 tris? i seriously doubt its an issue. do you know how many tris a modern computer can support while maintaining frame rate

My map is going to be like 40-50k tri's.. so whats wrong with you guys? I dunno.. lol. :)

EDIT: Floyd needs to grow up. I wouldnt let him get your map file. He might just leak that too. :)

it looks good :D, i bet it will look even better ingame :P

This might make it to the texturing stage. Then it'll never get finished.

You say it like its not that many

halo can handle like 30,000 unportaled.

if you're interested i can help with all the tagging and scripting
(i also happen to be making a grav hammer)

True, I was working on the covenant campaign, aswell as the flood campaign, while maintaining my machinima series (yes multiple) and heck, homework too, because people want to achieve multiple things you shoulnd't flame like a childish kid, but just praise that such stuff happens.

I still have my doubts how it works out though, not the models but the scripts, however I'm sure you got that covered otherwise you wouldn't start on this.

If you need any help, I'll be glad to, mostly texturing, but everything else is fine too

about the models you mentioned earlier, I got my models almost done, they're using random armor pieces on spawn, so it will give it a more halo3ish feeling.
Now I'm sure the standard few people like hunter,dee,bo etc etc will go flame me about this, however idc.


You could use this if you'd like, I don't have an image with all perms on it, but I'm sure you get the point.
The fact that they're lowering their weapons is irrelevant, it's for my machinima and won't be needed in this map.

those shaders are ugly, fix the color values so there like h3. And make differnt multipuposes, for the shaders etc.

I was going to say: Hey that looks pretty cool!

Until everything looked like plastic. >:|

hey bp you got them rigged? and btw, get on xfire

If you wanna add or help out, add me, KillerKip1, on xfire.

We are going to model the entire map =D, so be ready for it!

Wireframe please?

Again, just a warning. Don't give floyd the beta if you dont want a leak. :)

Yea, he wouldnt want you to get mad on yourself though.. would he? Lmfao..

Like really, you need to use Kevin's account to type too? How sad.

The models look decent, if you want decent shaders your gonna want a better cubemap and a alpha over the entire body skin. (Alpah's control shinyness)

NO NO and NO
Cubemap is fine, and dont use alpha channels for models. Thats why the specular map is there, use it.

Update:


what is this error?

Rig is bad. The croth of the second picture shows how bad it is and the elbow and shoulder of the first picture is bad. Also the shaders need a lot of work. The CQB visor definitely.

It seems as though their is no specular map, or self illumination map.

i have no idea

they are update edges, that means 2 edges are overlapping, halo tool cant compile 2 edges that overlap, the (random number) is the number of the edge that is overlapping, its no use really.

just import the wrl into 3ds and it shoes you eveerything , try to fix most, and tell the person who modeled it to watch some error tuts

I'll work on the multipurpose some more, make seperate perms for the visor and rerig the crotch, then you would be able to use it, should take me an hour or so to do it

the BSP looks great so far, I once posted some idea on youtube for H3MT's Foundry (update?) for a forge concept, since the map is mainly made to place objects, you could make all scenery vehicles so that the host can spawn all the scenery objects, they spawn NEXT to you, so if you change the center you could let it spawn infront of you, however it's minor and idk if centering would work, but it's still good if you can spawn it next to you, that way you could also add physics for every object. yea it will be alot of work, but as you said before, better do it right than do it quick. This would add nice variaty to the map's layout as vehicle spawn do sync

and last, have you thought about the scripts for griffball, or do you plan on coding something opensauces way (aka external app or so)?

NOES MAI SEKRET IDENTITI!!1one!!1 my internet is malfunctioning, so I'm upping tags and screenies to my FTP during workweek, flood campaign will tell you more
...idk why i added you o.O dunt killz meh

my digital humor/sarcasm fails me again
Yea we mostly do it for the giggles =P This week is kinda... quiet for me, so I'm just doing it for my machinima's, if other people can be happy with my stuff then that's great, especially this project could use it.
Meh, that guy yea, well if you want to do it yourself, you can still download H3 beta and do it, however I'm not for doing things already done, opinions differ

Now, it's a race, who will release the BSP first? H3MT or this team? =P

i will support if needed
and may the best team win !!

If we get the map working, we will be first.

Now the difference between their map and ours, is ours has more detail, looks better, is not locked, will feature grifball, and will be COMPLETELY editable. (using HEK =P)

And maybe have some goodies, like a working Halo 3 Gravity Hammer, new sword, with better melee (and way better texture, and pose + animations =P).

Etc.

Very very nice.

Oh wait, first proof please.

Till then.
Stop doing like;

0mg m1 m4pz l1k3 th3 Ub3R 0wn4g3, 0th3rz pha1l l13k s000 hard.

I dont get it..Why model so highpolly..Geez..Dont you want anyone to play the actual game?Jeez..Also its called "Bump maps"..Please remove the extruded stuff and remember you are making a map for halo ce not halo 3.
