okay i started on a remake of ridgeline from halo cea as soon as i saw this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cWmZZtbgyc&feature=related




i started with the model of timberland and started customizing the shape and textures of the map but i fail at caves and the bases need to have these parts added to blue and red


i am going to need some help with the modeling, i could do it all myself but it would take a long time and i would like to release it before CEA is released. i have all the other tags i need i just need to have the model finished.

1. THIS GONNA TAKE MUCH TIME
2. how did you run 3ds max 2012 (for me its no working T.T)
3. we need experts modelers TheGhost,Firedragon04 etc (i can't because i don't have time,sorry)
4. and that doesn't looks like the picture (sorry)

and good luck, dude

lol i know it doesnt look anything like the picture it is only half an hours work

as for max 2012 i downloaded it and installed it, but i had to change the rendering to use direct 3d instead of the stock system because it went and started doing this

People who essentially quit mapmaking for halo a long long long time ago? What is this even coming from? I am sure he can pull it off by himself as long as he keeps learning.

probably stating the obvious, but your going to need way better refs of the map.
goodluck with this.

By the post, i see you are a good person, and you cheer him , my last message forget. i will help him , you made me change thanks

okay then, the major thing i need done is the top parts of the bases, i have started remodeling the cliffs and i am making the tunnel/cave better, i am currently debating whether to make the bridge at red teams base as scenery instead of implementing it into the bsp. plus i started making new light textures

i actually have a whole folder of referance pics too.

dude send me the model to help just say what i need to do

Best of luck. I would offer my assistance, but I have other obligations. Still, should those prior ties end up completed, and you still are working on this, hit me up. With the game in the hands of us devout Halo players, you should see a lot more pictures/videos. If not, ask someone who owns the game to get some for you (unless you have the game).

hey man we need to do something now tell me. oh and teach me how i can add water please

Usually starting a project such as this one you should just set a firm goal, keep working for perfection, and don't add things or behaviours that would slow it down.

and so if he doesn't assign something we gonna go the crap

sorry for the long time being gone this project kinda slipped to the back of my mind for a while

i would like to have noble work on the landscape for the time being, does anyone want to volunteer to make the bases on each side. i am building the red and blue bases in a different program that i am more accustomed to.

did u think can tool support that size of JMS file the base take much time modeled and the size depend how may can be

i can make a high poly then bake a bump map to use, the end result should be low poly but will look detailed enough

I don't think baking is possible for bsps...

it is possable as long as the model is seperate from the bsp, all that the baking does is create a bump map that can be used in shader environments, i have done this before, the model can then be attached to the bsp.

i told you, maybe tool isn't going to supporth that size the max is 128 MBs that's the problem

tool_pro can bypass the 128MB limit.

No, I will not provide the link. Dennis'll delete it if he saw it. It's better if you just Google it.

Meant to say that it's not efficient nor probable. Sure it's possible, but since baking is uving certain locations then creating the bumps separately, you would have over 9000 bump maps for different regions not to mention that you also have to make the diffuse that matches what it would look like.
