A loading screen cannot be animated; it has no shader.
That is true, it is basically impossible to animate a loading screen.. Also, why would you wanna waste the time to make an animated loading screen? People aren't going to stare at it for more that 5 seconds :(
Anyway, if you can pull off the HUD that would be amazing. I doubt you could though. The perspective in Halo 3 is basically part of a new game engine.. sort of. Halo 3 HUD perspective actually sort of looks like the MC's helmet, I don't think thats possible in Halo 1.
I'm guessing for the same reason CMT made their pretty ones.Quote:

in all honesty...i fail to see the point in this. really. i mean, for those who don't have a 360 and who won't get halo 3, they'll surely find a way to get their hands on the models from it - one way or another. and once they do, they're just going to make it for halo2 vista or whatever game they please. and it'll be exact, perfect, and beautiful compared to what any rookie modeler could do(no offense).
plus, i've been modeling for quite some time now, and i wouldn't take on this project, not alone at least. and i sure as hell wouldn't make it public this early in. but, if this is how u want waste your time, tha's up to you. i wish you the best of luck and God have mercy on your poor little soul. LOL...

Well, he wants to do it, so let him do it. It's not like it affects you.
And if you think it sucks, don't download it. I don't think it will be done by Halo 3's release, and if it isn't, I'll scrap what I have in favor of the actual models. I know someone who has a working H3 model converter (They tested it during the beta), and is willing to give it to me on the day H3 is released, which is good for me, since I pre-ordered the Legendary edition.
i'm not here to stop you, i'm merely pointing out that you may have little chance of success. although, if you make this a 1-2 year project...i've seen some amazing things happen in a year. but seriously, i do wish you luck. you r going to need it, no doubt. and who knows, mb you'll prove me wrong...but rookies comming out with great stuff doesn't happen in this community very often. it takes experiance, not that i have much, but it's just the nature of the business. practice = perfection(almost).
anyways, i suggest getting a few followers to help you model it all. once u have a decent model, people will come to you and ask to skin it for you...people who r good too. but u have to have that initial model that looks very good. if you have nothing to show, no one will follow or help. so take your time and try to learn some stuff from the experiance...hopefully you'll make some new friends who can teach you stuff to help you later. HAVE FUN!!!
