i was wondering if anyone has been working on halo for myth.
ive been working on weapons and grenades (yes! sticky plasma nades!!!) for halo and was just planning on using ww2 units or something, and recreating some halo maps. i just wanted this to be a short project, so i could get my skills up for when i start making 'reg' myth maps.
however, i got my hands on halo models. (mc, vehicles, elitces, etc.) but it is for .3ds, .max and i have no clue how to do those things. if someone could help me put these into use, or has already started on it, itd be nice if we could work together or join forces and what not
so if anyone is working on anything halo related for myth, post here!

hmm 
what program do you use for 3d?
I could probably rig these units up in cinema 4d

the halo units and vehicle models arent made by me, they are straight from xbox. master chief is from halo 2, and has .3ds, .obj, .mtl, .lwo files and i have no clue what any of those are.
the other halo units like hunters, grunts, marines and elites are from halo 1 and are all .max files.
all halo 1 vehicles are also .max
does that give u any answers, zeph?

.3ds is the studio max type of folder for 3d objects.
most of 3d programs can "import" this type of files, then you would need to texture them in the 3d program you use.
.obj also is a common 3d file, you could do the same.
What I don't know is how you tweak animations and movements in cinema 4d I use Poser, but I'm pretty sure you could import them at least...
The other files I never used them...

I do know there was this one person working on a Halo type map... he made Blood Gulch into a myth map... but no units. I saw screenshots of the map and so far it looked good.

.mtl is a 3d Studio material file
.lwo is a LightWave object file.

Why don't you all work together instead of needless repetition?

I tried to do a halo2 for mythII conversion before (like 9 months back I dunno), ripped all the models from Xbox, converted all, both masterchief and the other dude, all vehicles and weapons to C4D (with textures working, model holes fixed, optimised and what not, attempted to rig the MC
started rendering with the right light effects (halo2 has gold/yellow light) and had to figure out the scale and angles and stuff, had it all figured out, realised it was to much work (had lots of different variations of the wathog done)
think I lost files because I decided it was a good idea to disconnect a hard drive with the puter still running.
gave up (as usual) (oz laughed I cried) the end
I can look if you want and mb help out here and there when I have time (I know the process)

gizmo i remember those! me and ooga were trying to convince you forever to give us those models! but they look awesome. i think you MUST help us. hah just kidding but ur help would be very awesome.
im working mainly on halo weapons, but can those be imported too? id be pretty pissed if i made everything from scratch and something better (actually halo guns and projectilee) came out an hour later.
anywho im gonna need to tune up the plasma nade and make some covenant weapons.
