I need to know a question about customiaztion in general. In order to make a character creator or customizer would you need to make every model or just parts of the models like boots or armor parts on a Halo 3 spartan? I also would like to know if it is true if you include Bungies flame chest that the armor variations would be at 171,072,000. If so how many variations would be possible in Halo Reach?
Halo did an overall model with a separate model attached for things like shoulders im pretty sure. I think it would be way over 172 aswell. Take every shoulder piece times by, every helmet, times by every chest, times by every visor, times by so on and so on. I think it would be way over that. Pretty much all games that do customization do a main model with separate ones for attachments. It hogs up way to much space for a separate entire model for every possibility.
