I think it looks good, but, the right side of the wall needs more shine to it. This shine should then, in turn, show off some large scratches (not sure if they really are scratches, but they look like it.)
That's how it looks ingame.
Here's a really good reference pic:

nice pic, yeah it looks almost exact, except for the shaders and it seems sort of flat, needs to com out more at some parts

IMO, it started late 07. Finished around early 08 so yeah :D

That effect your talking about uses specular map. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist in halo. Im still experimenting wth the shaders. May even try a multipurpose map!

Actully, it does. The specular map goes in the Alpha channel .

WHAT? Like transparency? You gotta show me! Im gonna start doing that for ALL the textures. lol
Can you pose me a link to a tut or something? Or just send me an example file (.tif, .bitmap, .shader_environment) the whole package!

Just open up halo custom edition\data\b30\metal_panels ext.tif

It'll show you how its done. Then the shader, but yeah. It's pretty simple.

Something new from HDoan. Looks WAY better than the ones in the old foundry.



Also, the powerups.


Now, if HDoan finish narrows, we could put a trailer together. All we're waiting for is him...

the power ups make me wanna puke tho
and also make grenades smaller
they look like a bomb

Those are default nades, brosef.

Hey,

Are you gonna use custom viecles in your sandtrap because i want to see the chopper in CE

I don't think they're making sandtrap at the moment.

Right now, nothing is happening until doan finishes narrows. Im sick of H3MT's inaction.

And even if they did model Sandtrap I'm sure they would skip the Chopper. It would require crazy skill to model a decent version of it.

I want to see the vehicles, unshadered ghost and banshee doesn't count...........

Dont expect anything else from H3MT. I consider it dead.

Now, since we cant seem to be able to finish narrows, here's what Ill do. If HDoan doesnt contact me within 4 weeks with the new version of narrows compiled, I will release all of the work I did for it. This includes models, textures, and all tags. If H3MT cant finish it, maybe one of you can.

I know I wasn't supposed to, maybe, but there was a chopper model on halomaps that I converted and chopped the wheels into envelopes. Not the wheels turn with it and everything. I just can't compile the collision... so that's why was interested in sandtrap.

crate seems a little small compared to the one in H3, though it may just be the angle.

Bro, you're being drastic. HDoan has been missing for awhile now. H3MT isn't dead, it's just having a seizure.

Then he would PM me and let me know whats wrong. NOT COMPLETELY DROP US AND EXPECT US TO BLINDLY FOLLOW.

I put a YEAR into narrows, and now that its done, I have to wait over a month for it to get compiled? thats BS!!!

If he cant finish it, maybe some other guy in the community can.

He hasn't been on in 5 days, so calm down my friend. I'll talk to him if I see 'im.

why cant you compile rooster?

because Doan has everything needed to compile (textures, shaders, etc) if I'm understanding this correctly.

that would make sense then

And I guess that means all my work that I've put into our maps is just poppycock? You're being really selfish, rooster. What's been with you lately?

E:

This was sent to me from HDoan:

HURRAY FOR NARROWS!

looks like you guys started up the h3mt thread again. Am liking the progress yall are making. I still have the beta's from when you guys first started with containment Valhalla and narrows lol Well very nice!

And when you're dead Ill be still alive.

H3MT isn't dead. Stop claiming bs.

He wasn't being selfish, he just wants to make sure that his stuff actually gets put to use and not blown over or left in the dust. I would hate to see something of mine just left and never finished or released.
ironically its happened to me lots :'(

I have a major feeling of Deja Vu....

who is the leader of h3mt ?

HDoan.

That's where the cool kids chill. (watch out for grav (aka the buttcutter))

What have you guys been working on lately and what can we expect to see from the team next?
