When will we be able extract models from h2? Is it in the works or has something more important delayed it.

Those are markers. They define where effects, lights and other stuff happens.

I've never rigged vehicles before. But I'd assume that it's not too different from bipeds or weapons.
Basically those "spikes" are bones, and they're arranged in a hierarchical way so that there's a parent and child system. Labelled bip01 _____. Work with animations, etc.
Blue spheres are markers. Their location pretty much gives info for how the things are placed. They should be named with a # prefix.
Green are nodes. They're pretty much the same as bones, so it's a bad idea having both of them present at the same time. Labelled frame ______.
(I've always used bones in bipeds and nodes in weapons. I dunno which is best for vehicles.)
E: I've never dealt with any other colored spheres so I have no idea what those are about. But if they're either frame or #, they can be classified as a node/bone or marker.

Spartan is pretty much on point but in adjutant, it works a little differently

Basically, the bones are the actual nodes, while all the other spheres are the markers. Ideally you can actually just delete the markers and put your own down, as I have done a few times before. I would also suggest taking the CE scorpion and putting it down in the scene to get an accurate sense of scale along with being able to take the pre-existing markers and nodes to rig whichever you're using to it

Those spikes are the bones

R93 Do you know how to extract a diffuse map from any halo 4 (or reach) blend map?

I've seen your cc materials, just wondering if you could shed any light because they are truly the most annoying textures on the planet.

I think the info you are looking for is in the OP.

Hey I'm where the location for Halo reach's enemy's are. I've looked around but can't seem to find them. Thx for any help!

Elijah is right with it being in the OP, but if you want to set it up in 3DS max its a bit different. I might re-render my tutorial on how to set up 3DS max materials at some point, but for now the TLDR is

Control Map for MP Bipeds
Red = Spec
Green = Diffuse
Blue = Gloss

Non-MP Items usually have a diffuse separate from the control map



Open any of the campaign maps
Render Model -> Objects\Characters\*enemy you're looking for*




It is, isn't it?

hey i have hit a frustrating snag in a project i am working on. i was wanting some sounds from odst and i keep getting the "unsupported sound type" error. is there any way i or someone else can extract these sounds? or are they not extractable for the time being.

Useally envierment sounds and music loops are the broken ones

Thank you good sir for keeping this updated

any plans for cea models yet and SGT Arroyo dont say any thing

give me my pill now!2!#!"6+:48+99%1@.Congress upcoming birdsssaa

Like I have said countless times before, there are no plans for cea models at this time. Most are just H3/Reach anyways

CEA Chief plz

No seriously, that and the BSPs are probably the only parts of CEA worth extracting

Truth

the flood marine.

i need emf3 or amf importer script fo 3ds max8

That's so old dude. Get the current Student version of 3dsMax

You need to upgrade to 2013.

Can we extract CGI cinematic cut scenes?

That is what the latest update adds.

What do you mean? The opening of Halo 4 and its prologue are separate files not in the .map file and the spartan ops episodes are all streamed...

Ah, welp. Wasn't thinking. Anyway, thanks for contributing to the community. I'm sure we all appreciate it very much. ;)

plz don't hate me

Now where did you find the map file to get the model?

#Magic
i'll release the max file and textures on my thread cuz I feel like this is a thing most people will go crazy looking for.

Also I put it in UE4


yay for material masking!

Is seems UE4CE Is confirmed.

cant release it if I do that
