Would you be willing to make a map not to hardcore in terms of detail for $25? I know I would... When I started working on Victory Mapping Team's Map (which I can't remember the name since it was so long ago) I put together a great team who worked well together... until I stopped logging on and checking on progress and eventually I had to do everything myself and I can't model for crap so I stopped it. I have $25 and that is it to give to whoever can make me a simple map its huge but doesnt have to be very detailed just want to be playable as in can get it in game with a sky and everything. Don't have to make your own vehicles and stuff if you don't want we can just use already created vehicles. I can't animate, skin, model... all I know is I know what I need, i have 25 dollars to give you and I can populate it if you can get it ingame... so if you are up for the challenge: This is what our map was like before it disappeared: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/sparton534/VMT%20map/mappic1.jpg This is the design behind what I would like it to look like... http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/sparton534/VMT%20map/Flexpre-designcopy.jpg The Pink is underground tunnel this is half of it its basically symmetric so same on other half... And here is another over the top picture... http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/sparton534/VMT%20map/map_overview.jpg I might be able to give you $30 if you can actually finish it and it gets in game(a gift from me to you haha) ;) http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55/sparton534/VMT%20map/ Edited by vmt on Aug 12, 2011 at 07:32 PM dont bring money into it because map making comes from the heart |

That's a link to a gbxmodel of the original map, for importing to max. All it's missing is the bases and materials. Edited by Koo294 on Aug 14, 2011 at 07:56 PM |

Koo thanks so much! I made my first map yesterday and got it ingame today! Went well... so now I opened this up in guerilla, made it a txt file and imported it into 3ds max... dude... there are 29,256 faces... first off atleast it is an even number? haha... but how many can halo handle? I'm needing some help because the the sky walls are even teselated.... they aren't just square, is there a way to reverse tessellation on the sky box?
The reason some are gray is because I was trying to deselect all of the sky faces so that I could assign the rest of the map a material id for now because everything is 1 id...  Edited by vmt on Nov 5, 2012 at 07:17 PM |

So is there a way to take the tessellation off of the sky material, and to lower the ground tessellation?

I went ahead and made a whole new map, I figure it is easier to work on your own work then someone else's. Here is my problem now, I am adding my materials, and i have the ground on material 3 but when I set it in the program for some reason it keeps changing it to the cliff color -_- any clues?
 Edited by vmt on Nov 5, 2012 at 09:26 PM Edit: It keeps changing my ground to material 2 so I switched it back to three, but it still wont apply the grass the material 3... Edited by vmt on Nov 5, 2012 at 09:30 PM Double Edit: I deleted all my materials and started over and it actually worked this time silly me... thanks for putting up with my newbness lol Edited by vmt on Nov 5, 2012 at 09:47 PM |

You should study some environments my dude, you could use some help. You went from to many polys, from not enough polys. (cliff should have more than one polygon going upwards). Extract A30 and study the cliff work. I learned just by look at the environment around me, and studying how bungie accomplished such gorgeous environments.
A cliff with a straight edge = unnatural. You want to have as many grooves and bumps in it as you can, to make it look rocks. To me, it looks like you start out with a box when you model a BSP. This method is highly misrepresented. I create all of my vertices and faces manually. Once you hit that tessellate button, you know you're doing something wrong(when it comes to halo atleast). |

And yeah I understand that, and I want to do better details on the mountain eventually but the problem is this map is like 3 times the size of sidewinder... too many hills to do manually for me right now haha.
