so im making a map in sketch up with the templates that mick has provided us, big ups to him. i have a question about the pieces size compared to the original sandbox pieces. im think a single wall from halo 3 is a 2x2 wall in forge world? because normally, in halo 3, a single box would be the same height as the single wall but in sketch up, the 1x1 box is half the height of the single wall... so is this true? or are the sketchup pieces not to scale? thanks! =)
Im not sure what your talking about lol but what i can tell you is that "no" the pieces are not perfectly to scale because the game isn't even out yet, they are just good estimates at best
I think thats because the 1x1 block is not the same as the one in sandbox. The small block in sandbox is 2x2x2 and the large 2x2x4. The 1x1 block in reach would be like a small colum(ish).
wait i think i know what your saying now but it still doesnt make any since. you said a single wall is 2x2 and a 1x1 box is half that size. how do those dimensions not look to scale? lol
VantierX, step away from your keyboard for a minute and do some thinking with your head rather than with your fingers. BRI Manning, all the basic objects are the right size. The grid object is similar to the grid found on Sandbox. A standard Sandbox block or Foundry single box was 2x2x2 according to the Sandbox grid. The height of a Spartan in Halo 3 was 1 "grid unit" and a crouching player was half a "grid unit". I'm not sure how Elites and Spartans are sized but they will still be around 1 GU each. So, yes, a Halo 3 Single Wall was about 2x2 according to Forge World's grid. The Sketchup pieces are all to scale with the grid and with each other. The larger, more detailed pieces are not so precise but they're good enough to visualise any map ideas you have.
