Well nobody can give you the model from the game, as it is illegal to redistribute copyrighted materials.

then how about a model that somebody made, because i know that there are some around, but I have no idea how to import them because they are from Halo CE and all I want is two files, one the model and the other the bitmaps. I do not care if the model and the bitmap are not the ones used in the Halo 2 game, and as long as they do not look bad.

In other words, scale the model up.

I scale all my imported models up about 5000%.

quick question. What material modifier do i use to use alpha-maps as a soft or hard overlay for my textures? Should i just overlay useing PS or is there a different way. Also when i use the normal map in the bump slot in the additional bump area do i insert a bump map or a normal map in that. And is there a way to find out in entity if a shader is useing a textures Alpha map or not?

What?

3DS is not Photoshop.
Why not take a look at Darco's tutorial first then brnch off from that? I think it would help.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:51 am

none of you guys even know what im talking about... Most of the textures in the game have alpha maps and i plan on useing them as a detail map. I already know 3ds is not photoshop....

Because you're using terms that are incorrect. You didn't do a good job of describing what you want to do.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:55 pm

what you dont know what a everlay is or what a alpha map is...

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:56 pm

I'm fully aware of the terminology. Trust me. You are the one who seems confused. Give an example of what you want to do.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:29 pm

well i cant show it to you because it havent been dont yet. So il rephrase it. I want to use the alpha map of the texture and mix it with the base texture.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:31 pm

So use a Mix.

DEEhunter · Post by **DEEhunter** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:38 pm
