New WIP, the moon!!!!!!!!1

[Icetiger]

This is a new map I am working on for Halo Custom Edition. So far it was a lot of fun making and testing this map... It has been an absolute blast to finally be able to create a completely new level. And yes there is low gravity

Enough of me talking, here are some pics:

The huge crater in the middle of the level


Crater from above


Ground


Underground Pyramid, to get a sense of the size you really have to see it for yourself.


Looking up at entrance


Me falling into hole = bad


View into pyramid


Things to be improved:
1. I will be adding bases to both sides, (the dark mounds)
2. Better Wall and Ground Textures
3. Tunnels underneath the level connecting to the underground pyramid
4. Other cool stuff that I can't say right now

Any thoughts?

do u need beta testers?

do u need beta testers?

As of the moment no, but in the near future I may. Especially someone with access to a dedicated server or having high upload bandwith. If I do need beta testers I will let you all know.

wicked map just would be cool if you could make a 'sense of gravity' sorta thing so you could make a spheric map and then walk around the whole map.

I wul also like to beta test get on MSN if ya need me, also i suggest improving your ground texture FIRST, make it more greyer and add more craters that are more randm rather than just here and there and all even.

once again, nice map, kep it up.

one last thing, what version of MAX are you using to export your levels, if your using 6 plz lemme know cus i ned the plusin 4 it cus cortana's is down.

Funny coincidence that, Im also working on a map on the moon

Heres the pic.. I started modelling a few days ago and have only made the crater so far. Work has begun on bases and terrain, but its not in a postable state at the moment.



I intend to add loads of stuff, but Im not gonna discuss it here, seeing as a couple of posts on Gearbox forum 2 weeks ago and some discussing of ideas with 'friends' have lead to numerous moon-based maps in progress.



But one things for sure, my crater ownzz


Hey, I guess two moon maps r better than one!!

[maca_§]

kool looking map

[Ang88]

i was also working on a moon map
Moon Gulch v3 maybe

[DD Godhand]

I was keeping the moon idea to myself .. that has been my plan since hek came out .. but the learning curve on 3dsmax is a little higher than i thought! haha.

Thats ok though, cause my moon-map is gonna have enough bells and whistles to destinush itself. I'm gonna build another map first, and tackle a moon map later. I might be stealing some textures (w/ credit given of course) cause i can't texture worth a fuck, nor will i ever learn. I'm creative, but i'm not artistic. I can build a cool base and map, but i can't draw or paint or even color inside the lines.

umm, i you ever eed ay help, i can textue quite wel.

[TheExecuter]

wow, i like the map, nice textures two on the second screenshot

I just managed to make my moon texture tileable using photoshop, so u will see some detailed pits and craters on the floor. Also, I have added a sky with da earth and stuff.

Pretty cool huh? good luck with all ya moon bases people this 3ds thing is bl00dy difficult haha

I came up with this on my own just so you know

And since it is already out...
