I was just thinking about the foundry designer, when i thought of an idea. What if there was a 3-D designer for foundry. The designer would have a plain floor but the objects would all be 3-D but not as detailed, just a plain box or a plain wall. What do you think of this idea? Possible? Not Possible? Please expain your likes, dislikes. NO SPAM!
I doubt that FH would be able to create one... Some other guy created the program; Forgehub simply use it on the website. I know it's not your fault for asking but FH didn't make it in the first place, lolz. Plus, screenshots, or just regular forging would probably look a whole lot better when describing the map compared to adding black and white pics. If that's what you intented of course. You may just want to use it for personal design... So to answer, it's not possible to create or add it to FH yet. (P.S: I hope my facts are correct!)
Oh, sure. Find me a guy willing to program a 3D web-app modeler at no cost, and then we'll include it.
That's Nemi for you, try and not get offended. Personally, I just forge it, but if you want, you could download Sketchup, and make shapes about the same proportions as objects in Foundry.
I'm not really website coding illiterate, but wouldn't that take up half the sites memory, or whatever it is? Maybe if it was on a completely separete site...
does anybody remember this? the fh google sketch-up crew. mooregames/projectt and others. the project was started but was kind of forgotten about.
In his defense, you labeled this as "Suggestion," as in "you should do this" But even if the foundry 3d project was abandoned, you can still use sketchup to make a rough drawing of what you want your main geometry to be like. It's a really great (and free) tool.
ya, i usually just go on forge and think of the ideas. I was just making a suggestion because it would be awesome and in my opinion would be very helpful and a newer tool for forging. It would be kind of like the foundry designer but 3-D.
i like the ide but ther would definately need away to geo... and all... this is good n it is already underway.. w/ detail... i donno where to find it its only on freewebs right now but it is happening
Did you forget about me? One of the main reasons I stopped working on my 3D Forge Designer was that I thought Bungie was going to include an alternate version of Forge in the TU2, but now that I see that that's not going to happen, yet at leas, I will be looking into making a bare bones version minus a bunch of those fancy features. One of the big time consuming things that I'm going to have to do is measure out foundry and then reproducing it. I might just make a polygon maker and have you guys do the grunt work (at least you'll get the "main area" version sooner). I'll get to work on really preparing my current version and studying up on Open GL tonight. Check out my thread for any updates. http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-discussion/23437-making-3-d-forge-designer.html
I'm pretty sure not many people are going to want to download a program just to make models of what they want there model of a map to look like.
I would, I think it would be SUPER helpful and awesome. It would show people to design and then put all of those objects into a really foundry map. People must care or else they would not be making a foundry software and/or posting in this thread. : )
You may not have to. I was thinking about making one with the program designer I have, but it would be difficult considering the fact that you would have to be able to upload it to Adobe. Uploading it there would allow you to play it on the internet like it was built there.
Let me just clear up what I am at least going to attempt to do. Think about it, anyone would be able to make whatever they want without having their Forge skills getting in the way. Just post your designs and have skilled forgers build and tweak it to THEIR liking. Then you can change it back to your original or maybe even updated vision. Here's what I'm planning for the first official version. Text file format file saving Multiple maps (think tabs but on a two dimensional level) Copy and paste functionality Auto symmetry/mirroring options Either an Undo/Redo system or a Quick Save/Load system Auto-Save History options Object Groups Randomization options And it will be Open Source (except for the pre-release versions) Off the top of my head I'll include the following objects: Wall, Double Wall, Corner Wall (probably will just use two normal Walls), Bridge, Fence Wall, Single Box, Double Box, Single Box Open, Double Box Open, Crate, Window Panel, Barrier, Barrier Short, Barrel, Barrel Short, Power-Ups (Red, Blue and Yellow or just make it white and have you guys pick the color), Door, Wire Spool, the Shield Doors and maybe the Pallet (might just make a two by four and draw it a bunch of times). If only I spat out code this fast...
