Not true! In just six years I've watched you evolve into a super sarcastic forum moderator!
You have just started paying attention that's all. I was a super sarcastic email/BBS list moderator long before forums or the internet as we now know it even existed.


Naw, you definitely went up a few tiers since your adorable florida postcards.

Still looks like randomly chosen shapes slammed together. Go look at the Silent Cartographer, infinity, and other well designed level's, structures, and see how they're a lot less all over the place, using simpler, bigger, blockier shapes, while stlil making something that looks good.

Yes. It's called render UVW Template.


Yeah you don't use that.

Sel means that the rendered template looks dodgy by its self, so just open the normals and save as a jpeg.

No...? I mean use render to texture to bake normals.

So how do I switch to Tangent space normals? I can't find an option to switch it.


Press 0 for render to texture, and bake a normals map from there (look up a tutorial or get someone to send you a max file explaining baking). I assume you're just using render from the uvw unwrap window or something?

Don't advertise, change your tone. You are no higher up than the rest of us.

Use a casual tone, speak like a real person. Then we might accept your clan as a group of real, decent people who actually have lives. ;)


Jeez I was kinda hoping after a year you'd stop being an idiot, but I guess it didn't happen.

Also good luck finding anyone remotely decent at the game here lolll

It takes time, and that part alone makes it obvious you've got a decent idea what forerunner is supposed to look like, just keep practicing, study other people's stuff, and you'll probably get it down in a year or two.

The forerunner buildings look like you just went and cheesed it by throwing down angles and shapes wherever you wanted without actually thinking about how you should lay out the building.

It doesn't look horrible, but you could stand to improve on your forerunner designs a lot. (mind you http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj526/ChBgt909/Halo%20map%20Core%20by%20ChBgt909/28-1.jpg (I sure am glad hyperlinking works here.) part looks great)

Terrain looks good too from what I can see, so nice, wasn't expecting something that was pretty nice when you first posted this thread, so good stuff.

Nice door, I would like to see wires for it though. Curious about how you went about doing the small indented lines.




It's all normal mapped in, and pretty much I just went and cut, inset, etc, shapes into the higher poly version, and beveled the shapes outwards at 45 degree angles, then baked those into a low poly.

Sel, that is pretty much designated and at least partially backs up Bobble's statement. You wouldn't have the ability to switch jobs on a whim, you're supposed to contribute your skills to the greater good.

Done for real this time :D


That's not what it says though, it says you should contribute the best way you can. Admittedly it could mean anything from doing what the society thinks is the best way you can contribute, to what you think is the best way you can contribute. Some elements of Marxism suggest that there shouldn't be any compulsion to work, so that people will contribute to the society because they want to, instead of because they're forced to in order to survive.

Some would argue that humans are inherently lazy, but I would claim that that's completely untrue. This, and every other modding website on the face of the planet are proof to the contrary, where people are working and contributing, even though there's no monetary reward in it for them. The list can go on, from people doing volunteer work, to people donating money to charity. This behavior occurs everywhere, even in Capitalist societies where attempts are made left right and center to suppress the positive aspects of humanity.

SOPA was the sick lovechild of greed and Capitalism, there's really no reason why discussing solutions to the problem doesn't belong here.

Read my post again because you seem to have misunderstood what I said Bobble.

Also I'm not entirely sure what Tiel is saying, in a Communist society you wouldn't necessarily have to have a designated job.

Quote: The phrase summarizes the principles that, in a communist society, every person should contribute to society to the best of his or her ability and consume from society in proportion to his or her needs.

Doesn't matter how beautiful of a thing it may be in theory, the fact is, it only works in theory, it has never worked in real life, and it will never work in real life.


This just in, the system that has never been tried is only a theory?

The USSR was socialist, Nazi Germany was Socialist, China is run by a Communist party, but isn't truly Communist either. So really spewing that out doesn't really carry any weight as an actual reason why it's bad, sorry!

If any of you think that communism or its equivalent is actually the best option, then you are completely misguided


Is that what you think, or what they'd want you to think :]
