sandtrap's sand is tiled, you can clearly tell if you go high enough, your sandtrap has ok textures, but the sand looks like rock, it needs to be smooth, like sand, also, in the vid, I saw no fog like in Halo 3

Yes. Get rid of the tiling noise detail.

This is Sandtrap as it is seen in halo3

Yeah, actually look close too and you can see lines which show a clear tiling issue even there from up high. Really, all the textures look tiled in any halo game if you step beck and take notice too hard.

Durf, of course it tiles.
This is the sand diffuse Bungie tiles:


Then they blend together 3 different detail maps, using a blend map similar to the HCE ground map, except its 1 bitmap to itself, and that it uses the R, G, and B channels. And the ground map diffuse is its own bitmap.

But what they blend together is not a detail map, but bump maps. Bungie only used 1 sand diffuse texture, and 3-4 different sand bump maps.

Yeah, but it's still visibly tiled. All I am saying is you shouldn't worry too much about it looking tiled from up high.

Yeah I just remembered this:

It says its early alpha gameplay but I wanted to post it because in my opinion I think the sand looks better in the video and I wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Itchy brought this to my attention.
Some guy stealing credit for this map.

google translate it btw.

They should redo that trailer when the maps about finished and post it

and the reach stuff. >:(

what a bizatch...

btw jesee, The textures you have for the structures are "stretchy". Bungie did it differently. The bitmaps they where using for the structures are simple, but the details they had are done by alpha mapping in the bitmaps. You should find someone who can redo those bitmaps So they can have better details & look less stretched out.

That guy totally stole my xfire avatar!

I took the screenshot myself.

I would troll those pro French rippers, who desperately want to mod the halo trial, but the dam forum wont let me :C

it's justice proof!!!!!Let's form a militia and track down that fag!!!!!

ROFL. How ironic.

As angry as those stupid Frenchies make me, I'm going to leave them alone.

Why? Because, they aren't affecting me (even though that asshat's using my SMG animations) in any way personally and aren't bothering me aside from how selfish they're being.

No matter, as long as they enjoy it, I'm mostly fine.

The only thing needed for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing...

The only thing needed for evil to succeed if for selfriteous crusaders to force their way onto others.

and cake. let's not forget that

Looking at the posts above me, I'd say that evil had already triumphed.

And what, oh enlightened one, are they succeeding in? Nothing I care about and nothing that personally affects me, so there's no need for me to take action.

Made the Halo 3 Sniper rifle contrail.

what a waste of time.
