All ready to go ingame, alphas and all, just needs to be UV'ed onto planes and compiled through tool.

More ships to come....

F'n A.

I'm confused why are there pictures of halo 3 ships in a thread for halo CE downloads.

Did you make these ships in halo CE or did you get the models or what?

[thehoodedsmack]

They're just images. The idea is to place them on a plane in the background to give the illusion that there's something there.

[Alwin Roth]

can you please post the actual skin?

this

its like the planet threshold bitmap you see in bloodgulch, its a flat plane with a alpha'ed texture applied

[Inferno]

So you really didn't do anything... just uploaded screen shots from halo 3.
I guess that might be useful. I like the picture of the shadow of intent. Might make it my desktop background.

[Ki11a_FTW]

if it has an alpha channel, then there isnt any reason why it shouldn't be here

[Zeph]

How about you post a screenshot of what you're actually releasing instead of Halo 3 screens.

[Inferno]

Oh I missed that he Alpha'd them. That actually might be useful. Hell I might use them if I get a chance. That is if the alpha is good.

[Advancebo]

Because then, people will just save the picture they see, a lo res one.
Hold on, pictures will be up soon

[Apoc4lypse]

I'd like to motion for him putting them on actual planes and releasing the models.

More usefull tbqh and its like... 2 more minutes of work...

Logically, if it is only two minutes of work, and if someone is interested enough, they should be able to do it themselves. :/ [/Spock]

[Advancebo]

Well, the fact that I dont know how big people want them. Smaller size plane makes it seem farther away, larger plane makes it seem closer

Same with making their own models, textures, and writing their own C++ tools for their own mods.

Yes, that was sarcasm.

Lighten up, at least this guy's generous enough to be releasing something ;b

[PenGuin1362]

This is a miserable idea. Do you know how skies work? They aren't just a square with images on them, all the ships, mountains, and shit are all 3d, so i don't see how flat screenshots are going to help make decent custom skies.

well, they can be a square with images on them.

[Siliconmaster]

In the majority of the original Halo skyboxes, the model consisted of a large dome, with cloud, water, and fog objects, and arrayed

square[s] with images on them.If you don't believe me, just take Bluestreak and go take a look. I did, for my own amusement.

Thanks for the effort, Advancebo. Should be helpful to those interested. :)

[Advancebo]

Look at the planets, are they 3d? no. there flat planes. Thats the basic idea I had when I alpha'ed these, you cant even reach the sky if you use the devcam or sapien cam anyways.

[PenGuin1362]

Yes the planets are, but I will tell you from experience, any close up mountain or 3D structure will look retarded as just a single plane.


well, they can be a square with images on them.

Quality skies require :effort: : P

how is it close if its in the sky?

[Corndogman]

Well the mountains in Mystic are textures on planes, and they still look great. Used right these will work fine. Just keep in mind its for Halo CE, so it'll look fine by Halo CE standards, but not Halo 3.

[Advancebo]

I am working on an ARK model

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/hurza.jpg

I got Malloy to skin it for me

[BobtheGreatII]

I'm curious to see this stuff in game.

[Heathen]

Thats what I came check for actually. any ingame pics?

[Advancebo]

Lulz, Malloy hasnt had time to texture it yet. Also I am working on Marathon and Hacylon Class Cruisers. I am still trying to rip the Marathon Cruiser from Halo 2, and get a perfect model from Halo CE.
