Everyone (except Con) is referring to something different in this thread. He means the flat, transparent pieces of geometry that look like they have depth. These can be seen in the ceiling and on the walls of Epitaph. The red and blue columns in Sandbox also have this effect. Another location to see this on The Covenant, RIGHT after you activate the light bridge and walk into the structure, BEFORE the cutscene triggers.

It uses a parallax method, it can be done in unreal as well.
You can simulate the effect in halo CE by having a bunch of planes with the same texture behind one another.
Thanks, and yeah when I find time I'll fix the errors, this is just for a little side project that I'm rushing.
Edit: Ok it still wont compile my BSP.
The error says "couldn't allocate subclusters," and I'm guessing its because I have to many polygons and no portals.
The map is + 70, 000 polys, but that's only because I put a bunch of tree's into the bsp instead of adding them as scenery.
Guess I'll try adding portals in and if there's still to many polygons for a bsp I'll add them in as scenery.

it's a parallax shader they use, with a few iterations to give the depth effect.
Oh, that's what he's talking about.
It's offset bump mapping.
It changes the shape made by normal maps by altering the UVs.
.
Alright thanks, what does is it actually used for though? Like I know shield plasma bitmap, but what does it do to it?
Yeah I know.
