Oh, and I like how you edited the day of you posted it here, you changed the name. Nice try.

You can't change titles, I just added that I had a typo in the title.

Hears an earlier "unedited" post.

Anyway I'll never finish it so I don't care.

Oh. Blender sucks...

Not if you figure out how to use it, and it's 100% free.

What do degenerate triangles do? I saw somewhere they mess up texturing, but maybe that was something else...

Yeah, they screw-up textures. They don't really affect the compiling of the model though.

They do me.

In 3ds max, use a lot of chamfering, because it stops things from looking so "boxy" and sometimes creates more detail.
Edited by KA0S on Sep 6, 2008 at 10:24 PM


Blender has some pretty good tools that would make this a whole lot easier, but they sometimes produces degenerate triangles.

I was going to get the tunnels off of an original Halo map, but considering I use Blender that would be hard.

I might even try to make a new shader for it, but my texture making skills are sadly worse than my modelling skills, so yeah...

Also would making some of the floor transparent/glass and something under it help?

Get max or gmax. It would be alot easier to use then that.

I do, but I just never figured out how to model good in it, so I just import one section at a time when tweaking the BSP. That's another reason why it usaully takes longer to model in my maps. Anyone know how hard it would be to create a Blender exporter if even possible?

I like it, but it looks more human than forerunner. Forerunner = mass of details.



Now, that is pure forerunner.

Add more detail on the walls, and keep things symetrical (that is so not how to spell it)

EDIT

No, I did NOT make that.
Edited by Mythril on Sep 6, 2008 at 10:07 PM

Detail.. Dang I'm not good at that.
It might look a little better when I get proper textures applied and mapped.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the feedback.

It looks human to be honest. The angles sloping downward from the wall need to be bigger OR the wall needs to be taller. That's my opinion though.

It's actually bigger than it looks, it's probably just because it's in Blender instead of 3dsMax.

I've been messing with my Relinquished map today (no I haven't dropped the project but only work on it about 30 minutes a month), and I started to redo the tunnels. The old ones where just place holders and where extremely boxy and bland. I haven't added final textures to them so just try to judge the overall model.

Please state your opinion and what can be done to look more "Forunnerish".








I haven't got hardly anything done on the map in the last few months but I'll try to start working on it more and you might can expect a beta within a few months.

Spartan, any chance you could get some better pics up? This shot your showing off really doesn't show off the map very well, it's just a field...


I will ounce I start working on it more, I've already shown pretty much everything in earlier threads, the next time I make a thread I'll post all other updates in it.

Generally, Pines like that are seperate from oaks because they grow taller and receive more sunlight than the oak.
Edited by sangheili123 on Jun 12, 2008 at 07:40 PM

I live right next to the woods, there are plenty of pine trees, and plenty of oaks. If it can happen on Earth, I'm pretty sure it can happen on the already unrealistic Halo.

I also think relinquished is a good name for a map, but if you're going to name the map similar to how Bungie names their maps, spend time on it.
Edited by sangheili123 on Jun 12, 2008 at 07:40 PM

I've already started thinking of a "story" for the map before I actually started the map, but it'll end up all boring and cheezy and retarted.

Can we see a pic of the tunnel? And btw this is looking cool. You just need to work on your forrunner.


I have in earlier updates, I'll get a link up for you soon. Anyway they aren't as updated as the rest, there all boxy and thre textures are bland.

EDIT: Here is the link to one of the earlier updates with pictures of the tunnels: (the tunnels are in the lower pictures)
http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=17505
That wasn't as updated as this now.

Here are some pictures of the newer bases and have some more of the tunnel.

Relinquished, not relinguished.

Dang
I was thinking of changing the name, anyway, though.

Refrain from meshing trees of different ecosystems together.

They are from one ecosystem, there are just pine and oak trees, how are they from different ecosystems?

I will add more on the outside, but you do know there is a tunnel going from the red bases cliff to the blue base, don't you?

For the few of you that have read about my Relinguished map:

I haven't worked on it at all for about three weeks, so the next time I post screenshots don't be expecting much. Was this worth making a new thread on? Proabably not.

Re-Size the teleporter and examine the whole thing

Well, originally it was supposed to be full-sized, but me using Blender and all I kinda have to estimate scale, then in-game I thought it was sort of cool so I kept it.

Quote: --- Original message by: EliteHunter
so true...... maybe more rooms or two (inclosed) floors

Yes, yes, I know. The interior of everything is just temporary. Eventually I will revamp the whole inside.

BTW, I'll try to upload the YouTube video now, I had problems with it last night and gave up.

Can't you say anything positive?

Lol, just kidding, just say what you really think.
