Need a little help extracing a banshee model w/ textures

I need to extract a model of a banshee from halo PC or CE preferably with UV maps included. What I have tried to do is use HMT 3.5 to extract the banshee model (and textures) and then import it 3ds max. This went smoothly, but the model doesn't come UVW unwrapped, and the only way to texture it woul...

Sapien Acts Funny

I've been having trouble getting sapien to work without closing out after I open my scenerio file. I checked all associated tags closely for errors, but I found no red text or anything out of the ordinary, and no errors occur in tool while compiling either the bitmaps or structures. I recently learn...

I get this problem all the time. Sapien has a fricken mind of it's own. Sometimes it decides to open, and sometimes it just pops up for a second then closes. It will be working fine for a while, and then it just stops. I can't seem to figure out what is causing it either because all of my tags are o...

Gmax Face Select Tool Trouble

I was following the HEK tutorial (except with Gmax instead of 3ds Max since my trial is expired) and I noticed that whenever I go under the "modify" tab and try to use face, polygon, or element selection, the UVW mapping gets all messed up. This makes it very difficult to conform the map t...

Judging by your signature, classic, you bought 3ds Max 8 for $3000? Wow, I'd rather just use Gmax for that cost even if it does have it's problems. Although, I'm guessing you use it for more than just Halo mapping then.

3D Modelling Software Options

As far as I know, the only modeling programs that you can use to create custom content for CE are 3DS Max along with the Blitzkreig plugin or GMax along with the Chimp plugin. The only problem is that 3DS Max, the program that CE was meant to be used with, costs way more than anyone in their right m...

Putting together a CE Mapping Team (new mappers welcome)

My plan here is to make some sort of map for Halo CE and I'm looking to gather a team for this purpose. The only requirements for you to join this team are as follows: You want to complete a Custom Edition map. You are willing to work with others to accomplish this goal. You feel you can be diligent...

You could do something like what they have in Americas Army. Make the level have fog and place a stationary pelican or pelicans high up enough so that the fog hides them. Then have players just spawn inside the belly of the pelican where they can drop from.

Actually, the GIMP will work just fine. When I was following the HEK video tutorial, I did just fine using GIMP instead of photoshop. It's just a little different in the process of creating the mask and applying it to the alpha chanel. What you basically do is create a mask and edit the mask to wher...

Jetness

Yeah, here's a jet I just finished modeling. I would love to get it in-game for Halo CE, but I don't know how yet, so could anyone point me to any tutorials on the process of vehicle creation? They seem hard to find except the turret tutorial. http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9071/aircraft112hu.th...
