Halo 5 Forge |OT| Plan, Build, Share

If it plays well, it'd be a perfect map to put in a community play list and show off what can be done with H5's forge.
Thanks! Once the basic geometry was down, I spent more time than I care to admit on aesthetics - but I'm happy with the end result. This forge is so, so much better than previous iterations.

Wow, what.
I wonder if a lot of the Forge features weren't finished when they made those. They definitely all need a new art pass.

I know what I'm spending my afternoon doing. The textures look awesome.

Almost seems like those are test pieces for an eventual Covenant pack. Very cool to say the least.

Being able to break out of these maps is a godsend. Not only do we have Covenant canvases, I always get the bestest Halo 3 vibes from just shoving a teleporter outside of the map's boundaries and exploring.

Managed to find a little time to work on Fivewinder, my in-progress H1 Sidewinder remake.
Quick Drivethrough
(Outdated) Base walkthrough
Pics:
All the main classic structures are done including the tunnels. Now I've got to add rocks and trees and general flair around the map to make things prettier and less basic, and ease some jarring transitions.
I do have some work to do on top mid, I've expanded that area but havent fully decided what to fill it with yet. Considering a rocky area full of cover like H2 Sanctuary. Heck it might be fun to even put the middle sanctuary structure in there.
I've added some launchers on the map inspired by Avalanche.

That looks great.
Very cool take on Turf.

Ohhh, interesting.
I hope people do some cool shit with this. It would also be nice just to get Forge pieces with that texture style for all the pallets in the future.
Wow, good work - this looks great, and the layout seems nice as well.
I gotta give this a play.
Whoa, I really like this concept.
Some patches of snow would help the look pop a bit more, and sell the 'alpine' location IMO. Also, for whatever reason it reminds me of this Halo 3 art.
That looks damn near professionally made.
Thanks! Did receive some feedback that the performance seemed like it was running sub 60fps. Anybody know of a good way to analyze the fps of the game?

well... Im glad you asked Homeboyd, saving issues nonwithstanding (which I still cannot do)
its buildout complete!
minus the door, I have an array of prototype doors in a testing corner i built up in the skybox
tweaking some lights here and there, but every crate and such I wanted is there

edit: realized I didnt generate lighting before my run around, so stuff looks too dark

For my Turf remix I kept the geometry of the back streets, encapsulated it, and mirrored the map! Double Turf All the Wayyy (Im really excited about this map, so hopefully you guys dont think it sucks lol)
I have a really good idea for my Foundation remix, but Im behind cause of all these save issues
not-video'd, co-forge on an awesome Colossus and Terminal (pss, get really hyped for colossus)
But I wanna get really hyped about Terminal. Tell me I can get really hyped for Terminal, nilla.
I need Terminal.

I will allow you 1 hype, because I know you really mean it JD.
Id say we are.. 75% done on the buildout, basically everything except ground terrain. After doing some walk arounds on Terminal I realized the terrain is very very varied and has alot of heights, slopes, dips etc, and we havent found the strength to really hit it hard just doing terrain, but we will get there (the parking garage and blue base are finished though, and I love them)

I didnt generate lighting, but yeah Ive done some run arounds, players show up fine. Remember that Spartans do seem to have their own light source and stand out very well against dark backdrops.
I'm glad you haven't let the save issues stop you, because these build outs look amazing!

thanks, the vids turned out way darker than I thought they did, or maybe hte brightness on my surface is too low XD
either way, thanks, I busted an hour or so on my Foundation remix, only to realize it might suck, so I scrapped it. But.. with the extra time I worked on Terminal with my buddy
super secret SUPER WIP screengrab for JD, cause you my dawg
really stress the super wip nature of that pic! but I really like the bones

Looks like the Halo Online version of Turf aesthetics wise.

Whats wrong with the shadows??

Yeah I wanted a moody, dark, sterile, abandoned feel. Dont recall the Halo online version, but if its good I wont complain. There isn't a a single curve on the map, which is where I contrast with the remix that almost all the aesthetic geometry is made of curves.
You know it

Can't tell what's wrong from my phone, but everything from time of day, fog, shadows, lights, etc is still very much ongoing, whatever you see that's wrong assuredly we will grind off in punch-out.
I have supreme confidence in all my other projects, this one is a stretch for me, very challenging map, but I have high hopes!
Edit: I'm most excited for the remix honestly. So many possibilities!
People are getting damn good at doing script stuff
Quick walk around of the neutral base I made for my fucking massive BTB map

I really need to make this map smaller...

Dayuuum. That light bridge
Always liked the Halo Channel theme..and remixed is cool too.
It would be cool if you could do volumes to label call outs?
You can give my map a shot. [Its a remake, but pretty faithful to the original]
Made several updates and now its pretty much what I want out of the map.
http://www.forgehub.com/maps/sacelium.984/
Download it from my profile if you would like to test it.
Profile: TJ NutterB
Map: Sacelium
Updates:
- No longer at Night Time [Day time just works better]
- Initial spawn area for both bases is no longer visible on base ramps
- Doors have been arched to appropriate sizes
- Ring 1 has now has a small nook to hide behind just like sanctuary/shrine
- Sight lines from Ring 2 fixed
- Bases ceiling lowered to better fit with spartan sizes
- Got rid of previous human theme (hotel) now have trees with invisible blockers
- Reduced the Light objects, due to map moving over to day light
liking the aesthetic so far. #terminalhypethanks, the vids turned out way darker than I thought they did, or maybe hte brightness on my surface is too low XD

I wish I could forge, but I can't forge worth a damn.
So everyone should keep posting pictures and videos so I can live vicariously through them. And then of course download the maps.

Hey, jump in an give it a shot. Tools are much better and you might be surprised.
Some people love making layouts for maps but need help populating them etc. You can always co-Forge if you want a bit of help but you may as well throw out ideas and see how you get on!
Edit: Here is my weird Quake Lighting Test thingy video.
