The sun could be in the middle. at first i wanted to make it a dyson sphere, it makes sense since that's the only concept of shield world that exist right now, but i didn't make it like that because of the sun position and also because i wanted to make something original i will finish this model (with more curves as you guys said), AND i'm gonna let you see it and decide whether it should be changed to a dyson sphere or something different from my initial concept i will have the model complete by friday, see you all then and thanks for the advice i appreciate it! :)

ChBgt909 Joined: Sep 10, 2011 ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ	Posted: Aug 17, 2013 03:44 PM Msg. 586 of 682 Well guys, sorry to disappoint you but this map will no longer be on a shield world... i made a mistake when i made this sky model (mistake i didn't do when i did imposing's sky) and because of this the model i had as shield world was overlapping with the rest of the components of the sky so i had to remove it (i won't make this sky model from scratch again just to fix this sorry) so this is how it looks like without the shield world model, notice that i added a couple of planets, changed color of the clouds on the bottom added a texture to the ground on the bottom and added some clouds scattered up in the sky I still have to add more stuff in the background to make it look better and i will add an island on the sea part of the sky Edited by ChBgt909 on Aug 17, 2013 at 03:45 PM

If I may make a suggestion, maybe separate the three pillars a slight bit? it looks a bit too cramped imo yeah breaking that image of the pillars into 3 parts to spread the pillars out might look better. btw the image of the pillars fits your sky really well.

Its really simple, if you don't have the maps I can quick screencap the mesh to your referencing. i'd appreciate if you could take some screenshots of Requiem's sky model for reference, i don't have any h4 map, in fact, i no longer have Adjutant in my computer i need to download it again :(

The other meshes conceal the non-existant portions of the half-sphere. The basic make-up of a generic halo 4 sky (under requiem) is as follows; -(outside mesh to inner most mesh) -The half-sphere that imitates a shield world environment -The skydome's color map/atmosphere; usually a simple fade from dark colors to light colors, -a simple gradient akin to CE's dome textures. -A base wrap-around hdri sky with clouds (usually alpha blended) -Alpha masked/multiplied elements such as clouds/trees/ships/etc Just place a half sphere around the outside of your skydome/pick a tiling texture. Then you need to make sure the skydome is exposed at the very top only. Edited by waffles on Aug 17, 2013 at 06:27 PM Thanks for the pics! Well let me see what i can do, the problem i have is that, even tho the shield world model was behind everything else in the model, in-game it made mountains and structures disappear as if they were "behind"... i didn't have this problem with the sky i made for imposing and i think i know how to fix it but it implies having to do everything again from scratch... i might do it tho Quote: --- Original message by: master noob with no overhanging clouds I think the lower clouds should be whiter, and with nothing beyond the pillars it looks as though the map's floating/there's a giant blue wall. There's no sky texture yet. The blue sky color you see is the raw color given by "outer atmosphere fog color" chosen in the sky tag

Did you number the different objects in your sky model like so? I remember seeing in some tutorial that the numbering of the objects is what controls render order. Maybe you don't have to restart from scratch?

I don't know what did i do in Imposing's sky... i didn't have this problem with that sky... and i didn't even know about regions... o.O Pic of how i have my "regions" set up according to the tutorial i saw i a thread Edited by ChBgt909 on Aug 25, 2013 at 07:34 PM
