*WIP* H3 Last Resort

Well, I'm not sure which forum to put this in, so forgive me if this is the wrong forum.
OK, so this is the thread for my Halo 3 map, Last Resort. It wasn't in the internal beta, but it is the Halo 3 version of Zanzibar.

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/7821/lastresortad3.jpg

Let's take a look at the videos, shall we?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUn45x6R4c8
NOTE: If you don't like hearing the same annoying whistle over and over, backed up by musical accompaniment, then turn off your sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WljegcnKrCs&eurl=
I'm using those two videos for reference.

OK, now that you know what it is, let's get down to business:


MAP FEATURES:
Everything in Zanzibar.
2 Halo 3 ATVs on the beachhead.
A secret room.
Updated Power Generator room.
Halo 3 Gadgets.
Halo 3 sounds ripped right from the beta.
Halo 3 MC.
Halo 3 Assault Rifle.
Halo 3 Icons for the weapons.
New Halo 3 armor Permutations.
Whatever else I can think of.


PICS:
Newest at top, oldest at bottom.

My new H3 HUD. It's a cross between the H3 Multiplayer and H3 Singleplayer HUD. I'll be using it for Last Resort.
It's based off of the HUD here:
http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2086
I used that as a source template, and severely modified it. I need to rotate the Assault Rifle and Grenades about 1 degree.

Well, I'm starting over on that building. This time, I have far less polys. However, I'm not too far, as I managed to get ten minutes of modeling in.
NOTE: I will not post any more screenies of the model until the model is finished.
Here's my progress:

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Why are you doing this map?
A. A: I want to, and B: I like Zanzibar.

Q. What does Zanzibar have to do with this?
A. Last Resort is the Halo 3 name of Zanzibar.

Q. Is there going to be dual wielding?
A. Yes, if someone can make a good script for it.

Q. What weapons do you plan to include?
A. Everything you can see in the video above.

Q. Are the Halo 3 Gadgets going to be in there?
A. Yes. You can use them with the flashlight.

Q. What vehicles will you have?
A. All the vehicles that you can see in the Youtube video.

Q. Are you going to make a custom pickup icon for each weapon?
A. Yes.

Q. Can I help you in any way?
A. Unless you have links to any good content, no.

Q. Are you going to make a Halo 3 HUD?
A. Yes.

Q. Are the different Spartan armor sets going to be in there?
A. Yes.

Q. How will it work?
A. I am going to be using something called a Permutation, which makes it so if you are red, you are the guy with the really big visor, if you're blue, then you are the Stormtrooper-looking guy, if you're green, you're the H3 Master Chief, etc.

Awesome, been waiting for a halo 3 map to be made. Good luck with it and hope it turns out great!

Why would you post this at only 1.5%? To inform us someone is working on it?

wow, ambitous goals. i would try to concentrate on making a solid map first, then adding everything else in, but your the modder, not me.

good luck. i would try to get some help though, it seems like a huge project right now.

i aint the best modeler but 2 me the top pic of the building looks very very basic and looks like you have just selected faces and draged them up and then extruded out the stairs, im not nockin u but i dont like the look of these models.

But good luck.

I wish I could help you with this to work on my modeling because it isn't good atm.

heres a preview of my h3 AR:(yes its crap atm)

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/432...resscq8.th.jpg

I can't take pics of an updated version because when I prtsc it turns out black and white.
However if you prove me with resources I can help with HUD

That looks pretty good, for an early model. I might use it. Or I might make my own. I don't know.

The stairs are actually about 10 boxes with the exact same dimensions, which were attached together. The building was also just a bunch of boxes which I put together and wielded the vertices.

I posted this at 1.5 percent done because I want to have people voice their opinions on the map so far, so I can have the as close as I can to the real thing.

Those are LOL aweful. Sorry, but too ambitious for a beginning modeler. I've been modeling for years and I wouldn't take on a project this big yet.

GL, though, if you think you can do it.

I have a new pic of the building.
http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/1...lding11yz8.png

Still aweful, lots of chamfers, too high of poly for CE, too smooth, it pretty much isn't very good :3. Try smaller projects, you won't finish this one, and even if you do, it won't look anything like Zanzibar.

Like I said, it's a WIP.
Also, there really isn't too many polys in there. I'm still working on the models to mess them up and make them look more like ruins.

Smash he can still edit it to be much better but he is going at his own pace.

a couple of things i saw:

you cant have distructable vehicles in CE and have them sync.

Q. Is there going to be dual wielding?
A. Yes, if someone can make a good script for it.

-I have a dual-weilding script that works pretty well and would provide a pretty good basis for this, or I can re-write it to work with your weapon set. The only downfall is it will not sync online, and would require a small, external app that sends the player_add_equipment hsc command over the network. I just down know any programmming languages well enough for this.

Yeah, I have already downloaded your script, and I think it works very well. However, it doesn't sync online, so I'm not using it. If it did sync, I would have used it right away.

its impossible to make one that syncs using the internal scripting due to the lack of commands. However, thats why i suggested someone make a small app to transfer that command.

And who are you? Seriously, in the past week we've had this wave of noobs flood this section of the boards. Crap.

Also, it's MUCH harder to edit it than it is to model it RIGHT the first time around. Learn to model better before you take on such a big project.

I'd wait until Halo 3 is released. Then use your 360 (if you have one) as a reference intead. Or just make this map for H2V. CE is pretty much outdated. But I think you're doing pretty well so far. ;) +rep for effort

Why do people here have to give compliments on horribly modeled things? Buildings are not hard, they are boxes, yet somehow, this guy has seemed to mess them up. GJ.

Now, how exactly is this building messed up? If you would save that render, and use paint or Photoshop to show me what needs work, I would gladly do it.

In other news, I have (yet another) render:
http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/7...ilding1ut0.png
I've been studying the videos, and I fixed up the model a little. I also added what looks like a power converter, I don't know, but it's there in the video.

Everything has to be one model, you just can't attach stuff. That might be acceptable to look at or get image in H2V but HCE will spit back so many errors that it'll make you wet yourself.

Looks better though.

It is actually one model. 3DS Max 8 has a button that says "Attach" when you are working in Editable Mesh, so I use that and wield the vertices.

Basically, use the STL Check for a rough guess to make sure your level is sealed as you go along. It's modifier.

I figured you'd just attach and not weld the verticies, but because you did, good job.

Thanks for the tip.

I just did it, and there is no errors so far.

Why do people like you have to worry about other people's opinions about things being modeled? I like it while you don't. Whoop-de-fucking-do. Besides, he's got a good spirit for actually doing a project this big all by himself. Just cut him some slack.

It's nice to see someone who has their shit together when starting a project like this. Thank you. A lot of the time we've got someone with no pics, no plan, and they expect everyone else to do most of the work.

wireframe?

It is a WIP, and thus the Poly count will be drastically different when finished.

that tower thing should be 40-50 triangles tops... why spend so much more time poly chopping when you could just model it low poly?
also your objects arent following the sealed world rules.

just telling you now before you waste too much time. look up some box and plane modeling tutorials.

Yeah, I'm downloading them as I type.

And the object will be connected to the sky, so it would be a waste of polys to make a back for it.
Here's a little later pic:
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4...ilding1jy8.png
Not too much has changed, as you can see, but I added an invisible wall to the stairway, so MC can climb up them.

you have way too many verts on a flat plane

id recommend some serious re-working, but gl to you good sir :)

This looks terrible, GL with everything.

indeed.

select all. DELETE. that's absolutely not acceptable in any terms, for any reason EVER. you are completely clueless on modeling techniques of any fashion, and it is blatantly obvious. just quit NOW. STOP modeling this map. LOOK for a lot of tutorials on modeling. try www.pixel2life.com, etc, and look up kurk's tutorials. you can't just dive in, you have to LEARN FIRST! this isn't learning, this is like accidentally tying your shoe laces together, attempting to walk and bashing your front teeth out and bloodying the cement before ever figuring out that you don't even know how to crawl yet.

this is just..... ignorance. pure and utter ignorance, and don't you dare ever post something like that here again. FUCKING EVER. wait i mean... that's INCREDIBLE http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b8...07/dodgy-1.gif

you have been polynazi'd.

WOW, WAY TOO MANY POLIES. That'll never go into a full CE level.

I hadn't seen the wireframe on gbx. Now, I'm, I'm, just lost for words....

i think the best way is to modify the real zanzibar. at least it wont be that time consuming or face burning

I"m a little lazy to look through pages of comments to see if anyone asked this...but, you say it's a halo 3 beta map.....and it's in the Halo CE section and I don't know if you made the mistake of forums or not but here's my question (looks good btw)

but, the high polys shouldn't be a problem if it's a halo 3 map so, Idk why some of you are talking pollies. Therefore it brings up is this for Halo CE??

heh glad you like it. Although it may be the h2 zanzibar model much of what was shown in those pictures was modeled from scratch. I haven't worked on it since that leaked video was first released so maybe ill start again this summer. Thread hijackulation!

Anyway, like I said, I am wielding the polys together where they aren't needed. I'll post another wireframe soon, which will show the reduced poly count.

*sigh* Here we go again...another one of those people who completely lacks imagination, and decides to imitate another of bit bungie's work (not to mention intellectual property too). The pattern seems to go like this:

1. Optimism
2. Over-estimation of modeling skills and/or game engine
3. Egotistic self-defence
4. Attempt at accepting criticism, constructive or otherwise
5. Insulting those who criticize their work
6. Continued, lousy progress on a project that will never work
7. Giving up

How about you just skip to step 7 and save everybody alot of trouble, especially on your part. This also includes wasted time.

Sad but true, and people yelled at me when I put it lighter, earlier.

it doesn't look too bad or good. Consider that if that were to be rated, i would give it 6.5 out of 10. You need a team to help you. Good luck with Last Resort! Hope you can release it soon.

What the hell are you on about? Clearly you don't understand much about modeling, or at least polygons. A polyon = a triangle. Simple as that. A map modeled with quads will be converted to triangles when it's exported. People use quads mainly because they're just easier to work with than triangles, when essentially it's just 2 triangles forming a quad, with the diagonal line hidden.

No, just be patient and learn the tools first. if you want to be a good mapper learn how to model efficiently. do every modeling tutorial you can find.
Modding "Teams" are overrated and just a big cluster f*ck. well most of them, especially when the only way to communicate is with text.

why don't you surprise us, take a few weeks of modeling, and then post the pic here. because right now I think ur just embarrassed

Well, I got 10 minutes in of modeling before I had to go to sleep, so that explains the mass of boxes.
Today's the last day of school until September 4th, so I will be getting a lot more done soon.

It is a Halo 3 Map for CE. CE can't render that many polys, are you kidding me? That's like 6000 triangles on one building! I suggest not using edit mesh and using editable poly. And if you are using poly, it looks like you are tessellating tons just to get small (Low Poly) effects in. If that is what you are doing, look up some plane modeling tuts and learn how to effectively duplicate edges and to cut edges as well. Triangulation isn't a bad thing to learn, either.

[edit] BAH! SHIT! I keep on responding to old posts D:

I'm actually making very low-poly boxes, deleting the ends, and then attaching them and wielding. That's the way I learned to model, so forgive me if I learned wrong.

I am just saying just give the guy a chance and some good feedback and maybe he can pull this off.

If you don't like to meet new people maybe you should just lock yourself in your house and stay there.

Basically, plane modeling is win. It makes modeling a whole lot easier, too.

What he is saying is that he refuses to give good feedback on something he does not see fit for such. If I see something badly modeled, I know I'd straight out say it. Good feedback belongs to something that is well modeled.

And tbqh, an uber high poly structure that should be uber low poly does not a good model make.

you have got ultra high polys which arnt even needed on your new pictures.

if you carry on modeling like that u will get like 5 pfs ingame or less.

10 minutes to do that? Dude, that shouldn't take more than 2. I think you're setting your sights too high, do something simpler first.

That is cool that you want to make a H3 level. GL on it! :lol:

not bad.

So does everyone else. with the probable exception of Stealth.

i dont, ive seen hotter..i got another one on my photobucket album. PM me if you want to see it.

anyway, something just tells me this project wont end up in CE...I bet he will have too many vertices for a low fps

That doesn't mean you don't have to like them D: :hump: Don't to try to act like a tough guy.

And flaming rain, Reaper is totally right. I think it would be best if you stayed away from other people's criticisms.

Say what? Something about a toilet? I don't know, I don't speak German. Or French.
And here I thought the horror stories of being flamed all over and being banned because I'm on Cheatsman's Xfire list were false.
Oh, crap, you didn't read the last part of that sentence.

Anyway, in an attempt to get this hijacked thread back on topic, I have a little tool called the Polygon Cruncher which does what it's name implies: It reduces the number of Polygons in an object to as little as possible.

Why am I on your Xfire list? I don't usually send requests out to people, I just accept them.

And what I like about the Polygon Cruncher is that it has a tool that will preserve all of your edges. :D

Anyway, some new goodies out for ya:
http://files.filefront.com//;7912974;;/
I made a H3 Warthog.
Changes:
Added an improved Warthog horn.
Made the passenger seat 3rd-person.
The changes have been made to the Rocket Hog, Multiplayer Hog, and the Singleplayer hog.

im going to wait untill this is 100% finished to play it. sp it looks awesome man. i cant wait! +Rep

I know this was in the Halo CE section, and I looked over all the pages. Simply, you need to learn how to model, and if this is going to be in the Halo 2 Vista Section - the please look over our current limitations, and try to highlight what's realistic in this scenario.

If you are only one person, why work on all of this at once? Prioritize. You need to take everything one step at a time. Not throw a whole whopin' 1.5% of work at us and then tell us you have all this being worked on. I have yet to meet one human being that can do all that at once.

'nuf said. :cool:


Jay, please understand - if you are new to the community, do what every other successful member has done, and work your way up the progress chain. Don't expect a masterpiece, and most importantly - learn what you are working with, and learn it well.

Wait is this for halo 2 vista or CE.

Good luck with this, I think it you should have done, one of the beta maps cause there is a lot more footage on the net on them, but if you see enough of the map in that vid than ok.

This is for Halo CE, not Halo 2 Vista.

What's it doing here? Accidental bump?

Someone should toss it back over in the CE area...

oh hey where i have i been >_>

that wireframe makes me want to punch infants. levels can NOT be box/primitive modeled it just won't work. and even if you sealed it all to make it work, who ever uv maps those models will :suicide:before he even begins. and it is an extreme waste of resources.

Congratulations, I was reading that first line while drinking my Sierra Mist, now its on the monitor as well as my lap. Way to make me laugh pengy gosh. :haw:

I'm redoing the entire thing using editable poly. I'm going to see if I can get my mapping team to help me out on this one, Archive (Our current WIP) is looking great.

Why is this thread here? Wouldn't this be a Halo Custom Edition project?

I don't see much progression and also, if this is your first attempt at modelling try something easier. I don't remember you posting when you started 'experimenting' with Halo CE.

jay can model. hes not a noob. good enough to model this. who knows. my opinion? nope.

based on the previous renders and wireframes, i'm inclined to say he is not skilled.

He's a fairly skilled mapper, not the best modeler, at this point in time I'm not very interested in doing this project with the team but we'll see. (for me working against a standard takes the fun out of modeling)

Zzzzz.

wow, is he still stuck at 1.5% progress?

meh

I have reached 2&#37; (lol). I do have a bit more finished, but I've learned not to post screenies until the model is completely finished.

yay! finaly you finaly got another .5&#37; done congrats :)

Lol, yeah. It's based on overall completion, so modeling the BSP is only about 25&#37; of the work, in my opinion. You might have a different opinion, I don't know.

If that's the case, then you got a lot of work on your hands, buddy.

Who's on your map team anyways?

As SMASH said in this topic before..
:picsorstfu:


:)

Doesn't matter. Post pics during progress so you don't get too far ahead on an inaccuracy.

cool a remake of Zanzibar for Halo 3 i wonder if u can make the loading screen for the map like the one on top for loading the map like the cmt ones

I can. It will probably say something to the effect of:
Loading...
H3 Last Resort...
Loading...
H3 Last Resort...
ect.
In other news:

That is my new H3 HUD. It's a cross between the H3 Multiplayer and H3 Singleplayer HUD. I'll be using it for Last Resort.
It's based off of the HUD here:

I used that as a source template, and severely modified it. I need to rotate the Assault Rifle and Grenades about 1 degree.

How will you get an animated image to work in the loading screen?
