Ooohh. Shiny.

Shiny indeed.

Are these smoothing splits or texture/uv splits?

Seams can be easily fixed by simply unwrapping in a correct manner.

Wait, does halo CE support 3D textures? (UVW-wrapping)

No of course not.

The blam engine like so many others is coded to support 2 dimensional texture mapping. Or "UV"

Texture space - Model space

U = X

V = Y

W = Z


Guerilla does have fields setup to support specialised 3d textures but they do something completely different.

Incase you were wondering if we only use U and V whats the point of W?

Well W is a co-ordinate designed to support 3 dimensional procedural texturing.

Something halo can't or will probably never be able to do.

If you are wondering what the 3 letters (U-V-W) actually stand for well it is quite simple.

Each group of letters follows the other in alphabetical order.

abcdefghijklmnopqrst UVW XYZ

In retrospect it's really rather crude the way in which the texture co-ordinate system was referenced, seeing as though the letters which denote each material co-ordinate were basically chosen because they line up neatly in alphabetical order with their partner 3 dimensional co-ordinates.

But it works and has been working ever since texturing in 3d became a thing.

Another victim of Halo CE curse D:

*bumps*

gib beta pls :v

It's very dark.

Like your heart.

Ya sweet talking me?

You have to ask?

If it was bright you wouldn't be scared

Glad this is still alive.

Asking lightly because I know how it is with projects in CE.
Do you yourself have a goal on when to release this? Or are you just working on it without thinking of any date at all?

I'm honestly just working on it as I go. I'm pretty much finished all BSP modelling as it is, I've just got game play and story to play around with now.

I'd love to see some gameplay action.

Thought that was negan/sshers 4 a second.

Sounds good.
Hope you do reach a point where you can say you'd be happy with a release.
Sometimes perfectionists don't ever stop working and their projects end up never seeing light of day because it wasn't good enough by their standards.

Perfection is a dream worth chasing

There'll be some gameplay up in a week

Woop woop!

WHAT!? A UV ERROR?!!??!?! ON A CE MAP????? NO

NO WAY

HOW CAN IT BE

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN

Why focus on just the UV Errors? Why not complain about the lack of amazing, heart-pounding music in this gameplay demo!

Diggin those BSPs!

You know what this needs? OS shaders. For the stock models. That'd be glorious
