Ever heard of sarcasm?

Because there is nothing to be done with it.

I think the finger tips are a tad too red.

Unless the biped has been holding on to his weapon tag too long causing the blood to rush away from his hands in which case gr8 realism.

I'm wearing those exact same gloves right now.

kenny, is that you?

bro kenny no dude, you don't need fingerless specops gloves to type on a mechanical keyboard, jeez

I've been working on my skills with urbany street stuff. I'm not really gonna explain much, but take a look at some pics:



The biped that will be used is going to be normal human sized, so i used a marine to make sure that the drainages accomodate a person.

I've been making the pieces fairly modular, this way I can build a map like puzzle pieces.

SP map? :O
Or MP?

Ghetto map.

where is the forge map you still working ??

Stuff takes months not seconds.

And also those tarmac normals are too harsh.

And will you be releasing that trash can from a few threads up?

The normals are set to 100 in 3ds just so I know for sure they are there. The trashbins have three permutations, I'll upload them for you soon.

Might know about it already, but something that really helped me make textures was xoliushader. There a some small inaccuracies to do with crappily made normal maps tho.

Xoulil ftw. The best part is that it is free. And it has a boat load of shader extensions.

Got it in-game.









None of this is anywhere near finished, this is just the center of the map. This entire little project is mainly a test of my skills, see if I can do it.

Fake!

You just took those pictures with a camera. There is no way you can get grass as good as that in CE.

you definitely can

and i agree. those are some impressive detail_objects my man. i like where this is going

Fantastic work.
I recently played through HL2 and your urban visuals here are more than comparable to them.

wow

Really like where this is going. *Thumbs up*

Jesse's Hood. Can't wait.

urban maps looks great. Good Job Jesse.

I might use some FP arms from GTA V:






Now that I can do GTA V model extraction, I can probably port entire bipeds and arm styles. The only issue would be making sure that the rigging fits as closely to halo as possible but that won't be necessary if I make an entirely custom set of animations... Still, for the greatest possible compatibility I'd love to rig this to MC bones.

Could you get me some GTA V buildings to check out? Some common buildings and a few unique ones please.
Edited by Mootjuh on Jun 12, 2015 at 04:57 AM

Sure, add me on Steam so we can communicate better.

EDIT: I posed the MC arms to the new arms, this way I can rig the GTA V model into the MC bones and then use that :D



EDIT: I've sort of managed to streamline the rigging process so that I can just make adjustments to the arms models and use that instead of having to pose a ton of stuff. Anyway, I'll need to make further refinements to the next rig but for now I am glad I got these in-game and working.





I have the male and female version of the arms and I can get many other sets too.




Also, to everyone in general: Would you guys like for me to create HUD tutorials by recording my screen and using voice? I feel like I could share all of my knowledge if I spoke instead of typed out on tutorials.

Edited by Jesse on Jun 13, 2015 at 04:53 AM

Yes, yes make tutorials! I feel like I am the only one right now!

Use this to record your screen: https://mirillis.com/en/products/action.html

You do not even require fraps since this handy little recorder allows you to record halo in windowed mode without having it chug like a hooters maid :D.

And to edit your tutorials I use this: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html

Why get 2 programs when camtasia does all of it. And yes, could be very helpful.

Because camtasia can't capture halo, where as in action you don't even need to be in the gaming mode just use regular desktop captcha and it works a charm.

That is why it is so awesum and keewl like me.

Just window halo, it works fine.

I don't think you own camtasia if you did you would know that running halo in windowed mode really doesn't do much since the codecs which camtasia uses to capture your screen are not optimized for gaming fps's.

Action! However is both able to calculate the desktop composition and gaming composition though It has to be said for newer games such as GRID Autosport and NFS Rivals you do need to switch from the regular desktop mode to the specialized gaming mode in order to fluidly retain the V and G-sync effects.

Hey Jesse, I was just wondering are you going to have AI driving cars around that you can jack on this map? Also, will you be able it enter any of the buildings?

It's planned to be a Firefight type of map, and yes, nearly all of the buildings in the player-zone will be enterable. (If I don't go over the triangle limit for OS or possibly HAC.

I've been working on it almost non stop for about a week now. I didn't make it to CE3 but that won't stop my progress.

Only 200 degenerate triangles to take care of before I can implement the buildings (I just finished most of the street work today)

are your projects in CE?

They're in Unreal Engine 4.

Halo online with darkcode tag editor

Hey guys, as you all know my map is an small town type of map, and I have something to ask and I'll keep it short:


Give me some ideas for small buildings to model.


Here are a few examples: (random internets images)






I don't want any big city skyscrapers or something out of place like that. No malls either or anything super complicated. A lot of these will be in the distance so they don't need too much detail. The player-zone buildings will have more detail and possibly interiors, so keep all this in mind.

I'm probably gonna add a 7-11 and smaller buildings like that.


Give me some creative ideas and provide example images if you can :D
