Or mabe is there an update you didn't install.

I <3 you. no homo.

<3

ill convert my emf's to save people time... i have max 11 though so i may save them to an obj. or some other format.

So the other one doesn't work with the reach emfs?

the reach emfs arent completely compatable with the halo 3 importer. and apparently the models only work in a certain version of 3ds max. the model information is there... just need something to import it. i wouldnt get my hopes up for that content... just wait for better releases of those tags. the ones i shared with xlzquerty didnt wanna work for either of us.

How did he get the EMFs anyway?

Probally the same way I did.

if its the ma37 the phantom and some random spartan perms. mb facepunch? thats were i got the pack i had.

And how did you get them?

^
Probably downloading the reach maps, and using something similar to xTraction.

I'm talking about the Halo Reach eMFs

???

my bad typo

Lol, it said halo 3 first. I see, so is this program out for the public?

there are no public halo reach "MODEL" extractors. there is ascension however that can extract a few bitmaps.

Why don't you just do it yourself? :/

Is he actually doing ANYTHING himself?

It's not just a "few bitmaps". I know this because with Forge world all the bitmaps were offset numbers as names. I helped DeadCanadian and did 96% of naming the known bitmaps thanks to ascension being able to rename bitmaps. A few were made up and some were taken from reach artists picture file names, and most were copy/paste file names from reach beta mostly and some from halo 3. It may sound easy to copy/paste but it takes quite a bit of time to name it all right.

sorry :p i meant to say it cant extract all bitmaps, as far as i was able to get with ascension

and sorry for such a long wait with my rips folder, had to organize and its almost done uploading ill link it when it finishes.

you would be better off just making a new level and using that one for reference there are so many triangles in that model that i experience an out of memory error in max 2012, and i have 3 gigs of ram!!!!

hey does anyone have the reach falcon textures i need them for a model.

I apologize if this seems a bit naive, but I am unfamiliar with this topic. I understand that the textures are given in the file, but quite frankly I am at a loss as to how to assign them. Material Editor was never my strong point. I AM interested in keeping these in Max for simple animation purposes. Yet with the exception of the simple diffuse map, I have no idea what materials to assign anywhere.

I have downloaded your folder ihalo, "Digital Halo" tried the affore mentioned "halo 3 set" before I even found this forum, and even tried the "halo 3 beta models (3ds/max/obj)". Yet they all seem to contain a few similar, but mostly different texture files. Which as you can imagine has me thoroughly confused.

As a side note, I did find a (seemingly) completely textured model under the variants folder named "steven"... however after trying to mimic those material editor settings on a fresh copy of the .emf imported models, almost half the normals become flipped, and I cant even get the bump map to project properly. And im not quite sure as to why. Any suggestions anyone?

Frankly I suppose im asking for help understanding the textures themselves and the assignment of said textures to the Spartan_MP model(s).

Once again I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this topic. I am a self taught hobbyist. Learning by asking questions such as these.

Ps. What is the difference between the .emf importer, and the raw spartan import? They both import as mere meshes...?

It will be a new pack ? With maybe more things ?

I get a 404 message when I try and download the first file, can someone please re-upload? I'm using these files as a reference to create a fully-fledged Halo game in CryENGINE 3. So far 90% of my time has been spent watching YouTube tutorials for 3DS Max and CryENGINE 3

He did. First post, under the big red letters "UPDATE", that link has the current file.

And I retract my earlier question. I finally figured out what the maps actually do in conjunction with each other, and how they work. Overall it turned out to be a great learning tool. Now I can actually find my way around the material editor! (The slate editor on the other hand... -.- )

Thanks a mil for all the content uploaded man, this rocks. The only thing I couldn't find was cc maps for the multiplayer permutations, but it shouldn't be too hard to make my own. Thanks again dude. Rock on!

then good luck making a game.

I already downloaded the update, and I assumed it was actually an "update" meant to expand upon the original files.

I actually have one small question that I cant figure out. In halo 3 multiplayer, the models all have their emblem shown on their right shoulders. well... when I project the texture file to the left shoulder it works fine naturally, but (because of the UV I suppose?) when I assign it to the right shoulder (on all the permutations) everything works great, except for the area where the emblem is supposed to be displayed. There it just shows the entire texture file minimized. I assume this has something to do with the UV is directed to read that area from a separate file? But if that is the case where might I find that file? Needless to say I merely want the shoulder texture and not displayed any "emblem" image. Any ideas?

As a side note, going back to your "Steven" model, I tried to apply the ninja diffuse to the right shoulder and the same thing happens, the texture is displayed all in that one little area whereas the rest of the shoulder projects correctly.... yet you were able somehow to project the diffuse without that one area being affected. How did you achieve that?

*****************************************************************

Once again disregard that. I found that editing the UV's was a major pain, so I merely made a clone of the right shoulder, and mirrored it to his left shoulder, renaming it, and problem solved.

... But I return with questions. I don't really expect an answer, seeing as how I don't expect many people read this olde thread, but in case anyone does, my last hiccup has to do with the glow, or illumination the visor has. (not to mention the self illuminating little lights on the legs, and certain parts of the chest piece...) What exactly is going on there, and how might it be achieved? I was surprised by how dim the Diffuse map for the visor's are. I expected them to be a bit more vibrant. Obviously some other material is used... and I'm assuming its either glow or self illumination. But I know nothing of either. Any help?

I KNOW this is a really bad bump, but does anyone still have this? The link is broken after finally finding this. :P

EDIT: After snooping a bit, found it deep in his halo index. Sorry about the bump, but here is a link if anyone still wants it: http://ihalo.org/halo/halo3assets/ The archive is "Halo Digital". There might be some more cool stuff in there, idk.

Lol http://ihalo.org/halo/misc/music/elite.mp3

Elites going at it.

megaupload is down :(

lol, its been down a whole year, and I last posted a year ago. Nobody would bother to learn how to use a simple maxscript, so im probably not gunna re-upload all of that crap again.

sorry didn't see your post date >.>
