Anyone can rip stuff from a game.
The question is, can you get it ingame errorless, and make it look nice?

Will it have a mw2 tagset or something else.

MW2 tagset indeed, and also it has interior no gay inteiors missing, and all 300+ mats slots textured.

is
it
errorless

ie meaning, if you went to take this right now and export it, it would go straight into halo.
I'm going to have to guess no, and that your going to have a crap load of errors.

It's not done :/

I'm still finalizing, fixing edges and stuff, then skybox of course.

EDIT:

Meaning the major chunk of the level yes theres not liek 100000 open edges it's all intact.

If you can get this ingame then i'll be impresed. untill then meh I've seen better rippers.

This looks very nice. Good luck making it in game

I smell overlaps.

Post pics of wireframes so we can point out errors.

Define "better" rippers, rips are same quality, if you mean ingame quality with good-shaders that's different.

+It would be easy to emulate CoD's normals, cuz CoD's Normals engine sucks.. look no differnet than plain old diffuse. Same quality as CE imo.

You know what, I think I will just go and play MW2 with my ACTUAL GAME!... what is the point in a conversion of a completely DIFFERENT kind of game on this engine, and its ripped. Would be better if you modeled everything your self...

the thing is, in most next gen games, they don't do it at all like halo. most things are just separate objects. he's going to have a ton of trouble just trying to connect all.

if it weren't for poly limits you could model CE that way

Soo wrong. The propritery engine cod uses handles normals very nicely. Halo doesn't even use normals in the first place. Halo uses bump mapping which is NOT the same thing. Plus halo can't even have bump maps on non structual objects

Maps from Call of Duty wont work well with Halo, since gameplay is totally different.

You can still put a normal map into the bump map slot and it works fine, though.

When you run a bump through tool, it makes what appears to be a normal.

Good look getting all the destructable/breakable items to work. And having them sync.

Highrise added.

I will be making MW2 Tagset, but the levels are possibilities, they will be used for more than just CE, mainly fo rrenders/cgi, and practicing renders on full scale enviroments etc.

No, it makes a bump map. Bump maps handle lighting differently than normal maps. The point is, because of MW2's advanced lighting engine, among other engine traits. COD maps, and other objects will look like crap in Halo with the lack of lighting, normal maps, and other graphic tools that newer games use. If you went through and did this all from scratch maybe it'd be a little more impressive. Otherwise, I'll just go play cod on xbox where it doesn't look like roadkill.

Maybe working on 1 at a time will make it easier.

liek level or use of rips?

Level first I say maybe derail.

Practice? I would say CGI, but then Dennis would lock this and say it's non Halo-Related, and you guys couldnt see any updates/renders.

So when i run this through tool (a bump?)


it returns this (a normal?)

Not a true normal, since its generated off of a bump map.

maniac get on xfire!

I understand that its not a true normal because its generated from a bump.
But does halo read real normals properly, if you were to use your own and not recompile them with tool?

Yes.

It can read normal maps as bump maps. Once again they are not the same thing. They both can use the same color code but will not always return the same results. Bump mapping can only handle up and down, it won't give you the smoothing and complexity a normal map can do. For a good comparison import a COD model into maya and apply both a tangent space normal and a bump map and you can clearly see the difference.

Dawg how about some effort.

I understand the difference between a true norm and a bump (height map).
I am wondering what happens if you use a true norm in halo... and after re-reading your post i see you clearly said, "It can read normal maps as bump maps." So it would display ingame exactly the same as if you used a tool generated one?

Actually I think the game play on halo would beat call of duty. Call of duty is all spawning killing and camping. The spawns are also retarded like.

This is what they say to ported maps into CSS. They either deal and adapt or rage quit.

Yeah Halo is spawn killing and camping, but with rocket launcher, tanks, and jeeps.

Both games are dispicable
