An idea to think about.

So, once the render project is done, I'm gonna vanish again, and I was thinkin bout what to leave everyone with. I was considering releasing a Model Importation Pack. Which would contain everything I've collected of models. Now, odds are this would be useless to people since there is no real way to import models and such into Halo Mac at the current moment. I'm not sure how much farther Halo modding for Mac will progress so I'm asking this now.

Yes, some models are from games namely Halo3/ODST/Twilight Princess and such, and there are some legal issues there, even though it's VERY easy to obtain these models now. However I figure it would be nice for Mac modding to have some kind of Model pack incase it's achieved. Lemme know whatcha think. Also, if the Programmers think it's not possible at all with Mac, then say so early so we can just forget this lil post altogether.

And yes you will need experience with 3dsMax,Maya, Blender or Wings to even consider doing anything with these items. So...yeah whatcha think?

Custom models have been imported in the past... they just tend to suck, and screw up bitmaps like hell.

Edit: Oh, felt the need to mention: I didn't mean that YOUR models suck, because they most certainly don't, they're awesome. Just that once they are imported, THEN they suck because they screw up and such. Thought it would be good to specify...

man, a model pack sounds like a good idea! even if we cannot properly import them at the moment, it will be a good resource!

then again, we can emulate! XP

You can actually import, but i, imported and unskinned random model I managed:

Pie calls it a mexican hat :) and yes it sucks.

But anyway I vote YES for this. It would be much more awesome to be able to modify a bit and import.

There needs to be an easier process though....

Maybe an app that imports it into the map doing the same thing as the long hmt way and fixes stuff..

Looks at alt, modzy, and that other guy nil.

Or maybe we could actually be creative without waiting for someone to custom tailor an application that does all the work for us.

:P.
