Eh, I decided I have been working on enough stuff to justify creating my own thread for all of these together. A small list of the projects I have are as follows:

1. The Pit (more on that later.)
2. Forge World?...
3. Secret map :D
4. create a Reach HUD.
5. Make a decent Reach tagset.
6. Finish the tags used in The Pit.
7. Finish all the above!
8. Use the h2 human\elite tags in a map

I know I've been a shadow lately, but I am working on stuff on and off. School is a major part of my time and I pretty much only do Halo stuff on weekends, but it's also when other things need to get done, too.

Some pics of stuff I have done, but not necessarily finished (or will finish)

Custom Isolation



Custom H4 Magnum animations (made by me)


Probably that one map that looks like Ivory Tower.


Savior



pitstuff




stuff





I plan to put these two Halo 2 tagsets to good use:

Halo 2 elite



Halo 2 human



Both are fully working tagsets, they are 100% completed. I just need to fix up the Lobby map and release it, not sure whether to use the elite or the spartan tags.

dat isolation
if only that style and color scheme was done with a bloodgulch sized map, it would look great with loads of jumps and tunnels and stuff. Actually the new bg clones were in a similiar style weren't they? But the scheme was a bit more messed and didn't do the nice dark green/orangey brown + separated dark blue

Is this with OS its looking aswome.

Haven't you been working on that h2 hud for years now?

Finish at least one of those maps pls.

that's illegal maps can't be released ever!$#%%@%:55$@@@-%$@#"';;-+(0))7&:*$@&--+.

Dat trash can tho.

Mad Skillz M8.

We need that Pit, Oh boy I'm hyped! And your Custom Isolation needs some more work but please make it a normal Isolation first :D

Your maps in CE are always AMAZING :D

EDIT

I'm not sure who is working on that Guardian remake, but If no one is PLEASE finish that map. the way you made that Savior is giving me a half chub.....

Pretty dark. Where the lights aziz?

Damn, are you guys ripping H3 bsps or am i missing something? Also sup jesse, its been a while.
Also i personally think that isolation is a bit too dark and grimy.
Edited by halo3n00b on Feb 11, 2015 at 12:15 PM

Well, there goes MY pit project :)

your- you're still here?

Yeah, that's am older pic. The HUD is finished, and so is the Elite variant.


Which reminds me, I have a near perfect h2 elite tag set done which may be used in a map.



Mythril was working on Savior but he seems to have dropped it. I think it was leaked, but the map was nearly finished. I don't think he'd mind if I released an H3 version...


Also, none of these maps are using OS so far.
Edited by Jesse on Feb 11, 2015 at 03:36 PM

wow I thought it was actually with OS.

This is aswome work man. I hope you make it OS someday.

None of these maps are ripped, however you can rip BSPs now, so yes is the answer.

I'm pretty sure Forge World is ripped.

Whoops, I forgot that he showed that off, indeed it is.

Those pit shaders look great!

[xx(]Release them please, unfinished maps are OK!(Joke)
Edited by Mokou Price on Feb 11, 2015 at 09:16 PM

Oh damn. We've come a long way from 2008.

Something about checklists and ticking each bullet off that gives me an elated feeling.
Both Savior and Pit are projects that have to see the light of day sometime.
I salute you Jesse!
Say... what happened to Mythril?

You are nice all the time! senpai~
H4 magnum and the two H3 maps are good, well. Just keep on.

Well it's time for some leakage!

In the form of a beta.... :D

Jesse very kindly asked me to make portals for the map.But instead I decided to use just a small portion of the map since adding portals to any bsp is something which should be done after the map has been modelled, uv'd and textured. Oooh and also cleansed of any tool related bugs.

So this is one of the islands I chose to play around with (island3):





You'll note in it's current state the amount of detail within the model is very dense but technically it would still be compilable without any optimization.

But it's never good practice to throw caution to the wind with such an old engine so I did a little tweaking to the bsp.





In it's original state the island portion stood at near as makes no difference 17000 tris. But I toned it down to 6000 tris.

In retrospect I think I took too much detail away but I'm still learning.

Here is the bsp with a crude texturing regime and the portals:





Please ignore the textures as they will not make it into the final build of the map, infact none of this will it's just a test more than anything.

Here is the compilation result. (Yes co-planar faces but nothing I could do would fix them)



And here it is ingame: - Non os - Very basic shaders.











- The hills have eyes!

And that's that. I'd like to re-iterate non of what you see here will ever make it to the final map. Essentially I took some of what jesse gave me, hoped into a corner and ingamed it.

Thanks for taking the time to read and.....

May the tag's be with you.


Yeah not much of leak but I live on hype

There really is no need, the map as I stated is just a trial to show Jesse that I can do reasonable portals.



If any one wants the 3d file they can have it, providing jesse gives them permission since it's his project I don't want to compromise the sanctity of his work by handing out random pieces of his project to people.
Edited by SS Flanker on Feb 13, 2015 at 11:15 AM

Amazing.

The last pic made me thought of HALO: NightFall...

I agree with your post but you have to take into account that the more detail you allow, possibly the more errors you will have to fix.
Edited by SS Flanker on Feb 13, 2015 at 12:52 PM

Why quote the entire post? It's not like there are two conversations going on at the same time...
But yeah, I do agree that little more detail could have been spared instead of optimized. Overall it's looking good. :)

not to thread jack buuut







ignore the nonexistant water shader and that screwy waterfall very wip bsp as well.
Edited by killzone64 on Feb 13, 2015 at 04:34 PM

"Not to thread jack" he says
