I think i agree, i will figure something else out.

Forerunner design is angular and/or beveled and covenant design is fluid with wide curves. That has componets of both which makes it seem out of place.

He should call it Garden.

Oh wait

How about Vectra! (just made that up a few seconds ago!)

A MP BSP I am working on. Nothing except the structures are finalized. The terrain and cliffs aren't modeled properly yet and I expect to get to those some day. Some GOOD criticism would be nice.

you mean this code brain?? http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3200

also darkhalo is it a sand map?

Looks a lot like structures in sandbox. I like it!

The structures on outside look like the ones from the halo 1 campagin, I forget which map however.

a30

I understand that the map is a WIP , but if you haven't considered it yet , more structures might be appropriate , as well as hilly terrain.

Or if you want to keep the terrain flat add some of those stones in HangEmHigh for cover.

that central structure looks like one giant extrude. try out the 'cut' button.

I think those would be too small for this map and anyway, I thought those are embeded in the map. If he has t make stuff it might as well be his own creation and not just a 5 sided object.

The terrain will be semi-hilly. The main issue would be cliffs and smoothing some portions of the terrain for when I finally do get to working on it. Also, I haven't put it in CE at all yet (inorite) and I haven't gotten the chance to put down boulders, some trees, etc. For the most part, the map is pretty naked and needs some clothing.

You know you should add boulders and trees as scenery right?...

No derp. That is what I was implying when I said boulders and trees and crap. Also, anyone know any good tuts on texturing BSPs that are Plane/Vert Modeled?

I'm re-creating snow grove with the CMT spv2 weapons using my Halo 1 HUD copy... so far it's going along well. Will be unprotected (for my hud.)

He did, didn't he? O.o

I see a BRG grenade icon at least.

JUST dont use the new biped lol..... remember more than half the community have bad gfx. thats why snow_grove_v2 was not played much because the biped stretched.

Just something I am working on. Pretty simple right now. I just hope I can get some good lighting affects to work.

Obviously many flaws right now, but this is sort of what I am going for as far as looks. King of the kill on a small volcano. The map is just surrounded by cliffs too.

Elite shaders

Doesn't look good with Yellow/Red

Try to change to colors to the minor-style blue or something, and let's see how that looks.

ftfy

I agree it looks nice.

It could always look better.

It is a procedural shader so there are 2 color options in the shader settings that changes the diffuse based on the CC map.
All the shader coding is behind a simple to use shader GUI as seen here.

Almost done with the model now, just some cliff area left. The textures are still WIP and generally speaking I'm still working on getting better terrain and better textures for the a30 structures. This will be here for the beta of the map, so if any of you are wondering why I textured it now, this is why.

Bored, making random crap.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh wtf is that exactly?

Its a weight. Usually used to balance a piece of machinery like a ski lift or a ghetto crane haha

A loaf of bread caged due to its extreme hostility.
But really, its a construction weight. Also can be used as cover.

Or have it hang, and cut the line whens someone underneath.

I don't think that metal would easily be cutting into the stone. Also the scratches on the metal look really unnatural.

You're right. the scratches should be on the edges where the most wear is done. like the loop at the top. a crane or something would pick that up and it would sway, causing scratching. the edges on the bottom of the object because of it being dropped etc.
