Making halo reach forge pieces. All as scenery. Will /attempt/ to unwrap them and texture them myself. :P

Some pieces. I spent like 10 minutes making these, will make moar later.






Will update with progress.

that is unnecessary detail in the huge wall. you can just make it have good bitmaps, that give it the feel of it being bumped..

Never really worked with textures, and other wise it wouldve been extremely low poly.

its a simple texture honestly >.>

Still, why not. It's still less than 100 polies anyway.

but why have it be more polys then needed. why not have it 6 polys instead of more

I still think it would look better like this.

it looks good when its textured, when its textured those poly wont be necessary

so unnecessary detail that no one will ever look at in actual game is better..

w/e. but there is no bump maps on anything except BSP's
Unless Steep Parralax is possible, and I dont know how to do that.

but you can make it seem like there is a bump...

ask the community for help
i dont know how to
so dont ask me!

dont know how, and is the effect even half decent>

if you do it correctly yes.

I dont know, this will be my first texture job. Ever. Can ya show me how?

Dee has a tutorial for it but I can not find it at this time.

"Some Gears of wars ennemies just use around 5000-6000 polygons and they look reaaly deatailld in game with use of normal maps" - from a guy in some other forum while i was looking for ref images

i think you can just look it up on youtube fake bumping is pretty general in graphics and can be applied to any 3d game of this decade

It is best to have the least vertices especially if it is for forge which requires ALOT of vehicles to work. Lemme low poly that for you. This is for ODSTeam right?

1. What does forge have to do with ODSTeam. So now, this is a solo project.
Not ODSTeam
Not FRMT
Not HRCEMT
NOT IAOMT
NOT KWMDMTeam
Its for me.
And I;m making my own stuff.l
Still, i dont need anyone to low poly it.
I could just make another rectangle next to it the same size or extrude it out and delete some stuff.

Though I support this thread the title should be "Forge Objects in CE". The title is misleading.

MY FIRST TEXTURE EVER!!!
somone get on xfire and help me.

Here's a thought, give the wall LOD's. Use the one with more polygons only when your 2 feet in front of it.

Thats just going to waste tag space.
Its easier if you use low poly objects, then build that into the BSP in 3ds Max, that way the bumps or normal maps can be used with the textures.

Yeah and your using some o the things some of those teams have made while at the same time making fun of them. Quite frankly,your pissing me off just like the boneyard you were gonna make. How's that project being going for you any way

I'm not making fun of them, I'm just saying that this is a solo project, for anyone who asks.
and what am i using of yours in this project.
And for Boneyard, its going. gotta fix up em pesky open edges.

Mkay and my reach AR.btw is that guy helping you or is it yours only?

I said *this* project. All made by me.

And currently im the only one working on boneyard.

Yes, it would be a waste of tagspace. However, if you really really really want to have it have extra polygons but not destroy your fps that's what he should do.

because they are meant to be scenery, and why are you putting 'er' behind 279. its annoying.
And most of these are less than 75polies.
Unless you have UBE Chief's old computer, id doubt itll cause frame rate problems.

I dont know how to make normal maps, only b/w/gray scale bumps in PS (CS4).

And I thought ONLY BSP's had normals, everything else hhad like fake bumps.

Everything else has multipurpose maps.

Normal maps can be added to non-BSP objects by using OS.

I know about open sauce, and do not plan on using it, and dont know abouut multipurpose maps.

They're talking about real bumps, not fake.

While having forge peices as scenery, thats all good and well if your going to have a forge game by yourself.. but the moment you add another player in, they will have no clue whats going on, because scenery doesn't sync. But then of course, if you make them vehicles, your going to have to include physics so vehicles can interact, but then you can't place them in the sky since they have physics. If you go with no physics, well, thats how vehicles interact with each other. I think the vehicle hover command will work fine, but ya.. rather than making walls and such, you should make things that its alright if they have physics (like rocks, logs, etc) it will be a lot better when your carrying them around to place them. And you can have lawls when a random log comes down the hill to kill you (man, I loved that back in the old days of setting up my forge)

Since when does normal scenery NOT sync?

Guys, they are just pieces to add in Sapien :|
LOL.
I dont think anoyone here would script an ACTUAL forge mode.
