The large structure you see is from here:

Edited by me.

Still have a long way to go.

Still need to model the terrain and cliffs, wondering if someone could do them for me after I am done with the forerunner and structures :V?

Gonna be honest, doesn't seem like you have put a whole lot of effort in to this. Throwing 'WIP' in the thread title doesn't give you an excuse to post what appears to be 1/10 of a map. And then you actually have the balls to ask someone else to do the cliffs? I suggest you show some potential of your own before asking for someone to help you.

I hope this turns out to be something nice, I'm rather curious how it will play.

heres a tutorial:

make a plane.
Y-aligned (vertical)
convert to editable poly

grab one of the side edges, and hold shift, and move th edge out, do this like 5 times or somehting
then select all the top edges, and hold shift, and drag em up,

then drag em to the back a bit.
then hold shift, drag em up again, and drag em to the back again.

do that again 2 times.

go into vertex mode, select all, apply noise modifyer, fuck with the values till your thing gets distorted enough.

drag some verta manually to make it look more natural, Use the cut tool and move tool to add details and accents or fix any weird ness the noise could have made.

ISN'T LISTENING FUN KIDS?



Give it a go yourself before asking for help - you'll never learn how to if you don't try.

[RobertGraham]

Needs a little more. I am a beginner and I can do that.

thanks.

Why does everyone make generic forunner canyon 004? Get some variety! Space maps, flood maps, swamp map, arctic maps, human maps, orbital defense maps, maps based inside of asteroids!
DO IT!

[Advancebo]

What about an artificial Forerunner canyon with alot of tech? That way I wouldnt have to model cliffs and terrain.

[thehoodedsmack]

But then it would just be a pimp'd out box map... =_=

Generic Tech Canyon 005.
Think outside the box. Think of a environment that has been untouched by the modding community.
Why not a canyon on the elite home world. Melding covenant architecture gracefully into the cliffs. You can keep your design and layout but change the style.

[Advancebo]

I guess... First, I must learn Covenant:ohsnap:

[Limited]

I came into thread expecting one of 2 things.

Model of the jeep vehicle from Simpsons.
Map with a big ass canyon in it.

Will it eventually have a big canyon in it?

[Advancebo]

Like I said, name is subject to change.

[HDoan]

When exactly did you say this =/

[thehoodedsmack]

*Psst* It's in the thread title! :downs:

[Pooky]

Map looks like a level out of Army Men more than anything... and the only reasonably detailed structure is something you didn't even make :\

I was carrying this rant for a long time, in the end I realized it's because most mappers don't have the talent or resources to do so. Generic Forerunner canyons tend to play well enough (Danger Canyon?), and you can't really expect a mind boggling work of art out of a pre-teen hobbyist.

[Inferno]

Lawl. I'm a 17 year old hobbyist who's making some pretty original content. Out of the 9 maps in my map pack only 1 is in a canyon. That is high ground and even that has a nice rainy afternoon atmosphere to offset the generic canyon textures.

In short. If you can imagine it you can build it.
