Just open the gbxmodel and create a new material for every shader. The only thing you need to make sure of is the same name. Attach the entire model together to 1 object, then use the region select or whatever its called in editable mesh to select certain parts. Apply the appropriate material to it by looking through sapien at the same time to see where what goes. Its really not that hard :smith:. By the way, this can be a much easier process by unslecting the import materials button when importing, then doing what I said.

The only thing it might not import is #sun, I've had countless origional Halo skys do that, so I suggest making your own when doing so, and making your own sun.lens_flare tag.

So just guess?
Sounds like fun.

Christ, just do it.

back in the day we didn't even have a proper gbxmodel importer you had to export the model from hmt and re-uv it yourself through 21 feet of snow

Back in my day we had to use spark edit to move spawn points one by one in SP-MP conversions.:mech2:

:ugh:

No, It should be obvious which ones go where if your not a retard.

With a sky like this it's hard to tell. I already tried random guessing once then I got anoyed and went to play MW2.

Also. I used to mod with HMT haaha.

...What is there to guess about? You put the bitmaps on their materials in 3ds, you change the material index of each region until it looks right. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I can fix the material ID's on a regular model but skys are complex. And 3ds 8 has problems with models that size.

No.
I've been able to import much larger models before and i've never had a issue with 3ds max 8.

Sky models aren't that complex inferno.

It wasnt that hard to recompile them every 30 seconds when I say, changed a bitmap, or moved a planet.

You're doing it wrong

also,

back in my day we had to walk through a 8ft of snow to get to school
with one shoe
and no sock for the other foot

and it was uphill both ways.

What are you guys? My collective mother?

Also Frain. Back in your day you were 3 years old. :v:

Ran some low quality lights on delta lake. I'm working on a nice shader for the back ground terrain. (thanks to english mobster) After that I'll attempt to re material the sky and get it lined up with the sun. And then final lightmaps.

After that It's a straight shot to release.

:neckbeard:

Just dont leave a beta watermark on it this time...

Sorry but masterz already made that joke. Try again.

Lighting delta to 0.25.

12 hours later...


0.666250
0.665642
0.665034
0.664430


Yawn...

Light maps are done though I did cheat a little. :downs:

Sky is also fixed and terrain and other components have been adjusted. I can smell the release thread almost.

Sky is fixed? Does this mean I don't have to make you a high res bitmap anymore? :downs:

If you want to. I'm just using the ones you gave me before.
