Thx for tut !

Actually I find Photoshop much easier to use than paint. It also has more features, but that's just me. For you, you like to use paint.

Ok...
Look at new pictures !









Seamless test in 3D !
With seam:


Seamless:





Ice waterfall:




In Halo 3:


Créated of the texture:


Finish in 3Ds:

Nice cream!

Yummy

oh my, i see u bring the epicness

Bon boulot gaigher, comme d'habitude, donne des news dès que t' as du nouveau. Nice work gg

Please just stop the French.

Yeah, i'm curious as to how you changed that flat black and white bitmap into a 3d looking texture that you could make a bump map out of. Did you use an engrave tool? or is there another way?...

There are many solutions.
I used Gimp-normalmap plugin:
https://code.google.com/p/gimp-normalmap


To believe that the bump is a difficult thing for you.
This is easy !
Very easy !




It is possible with mspaint !
Hard but possible...
I created this normalmap in using just mspaint:



I used this color palette:

What i meant was how to go from something 2d like this

To something 3d and bumped looking like this

For your information, that first picture is already a bump map, but before it was put through a "normal map filter."

It's like what a heightmap is. When run through a normal filter in photoshop, you get the blueish-purple normal map result.

Okay, my bad, but how would you go about making the effect seen in the second picture? i mean i'm sure i could do it, but i'm wondering if there's a better way of going about doing it then making brighter sections for higher and darker for lower and then putting highlights in to make it look better.

Yes !
Your example is ugly !
Look and go download http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=6298 :


Look the tutorial for your example texture (very easy)...
It is just addition !



Dirty ! Very dirty... No ?
I'll make a tutorial for my method...

Is not useful introduce bump in the texture, for "shader_environement".
Add your bump to "bump properties" in Guerilla.

This can be done for a "shader_model"
Look for Z'team scenery:




New photo !

et niveau "shader environment" t'as quoi pour la neige ?
good work again, wanna see more and more :)

I tested an effect of crystals:


To look like this:



I start the base for teams.

Super la neige je suis pressé de jouer dessus, tiens moi au courant :)

I got the hang of it now. I've always thought you would manually apply the burn and dodge to the texture, but you can just use the inner and outer glow layer styles.

Erm, that's a way to do it but it gives horrible results.

I helped "The floods remake project".

In 3Ds





I advance map !


I love MsPaint for Forerunner textures.

Aren't the last 2 from solitude?

Awesome update GAIGHER !!! Can't wait to play the map ;)

Looks Awesome

I finished the texture:





I added frame door for teleporter plan:


The teleporter plan (in Halo):

so... bumpdates? :)

Waterfall ice:

This is gunna be good!


(as a side note, can you please put extra detail in the natural components, like the ice and rock, I think that this could be a truly exceptional map.)

how long do u think it will take to complete your 'with whiteness' map Gaigher?

This looks great. Love all the custom textures, almost look identical to halo 3's.

looks spot on, i too have noticed that with the new halo3 textures gravemind made extractable,
are good for using as modeling references to get the forerunner style.
just looking at for example the panel_poop_ramp_tech, i see where you got the forerunner shapes from which are the dividing walls of your model :)

Halo 3 texture (waste_metal_bowlspike_dif):


My version:


I preferred to do mine. For have the same color everywhere.
If it is dirty in the game, i use the H3.
