Ive decided to halt progress temporarily on my Testingmap until Nitro figures out wut is rong with the texturing.

In the mean time, im thinking about making a 30 min rotating earth model with clouds that rotate too.

ill post some pics in a minute

**EDIT**

pictures of the texture, i think i got it off of turbosquid

In the end, there will be clouds circling the earth and it will look hella cool

So its somethign that you would just stick in the sky and it looks cool?

I like it. And it's not like it has to correspond with the game, because it has no effect on what happens.

well its kinda like part of the sky, accept you actually just stick it in the level

well, if you make a huge map(i mean huge, maybe 50000 units in length width and height) then yes, you could land on it, because it will hav a collision model

not if it was portalled correctly and had reasonable polycounts

Yes. That's the problem with spheres. They eat polys.

they eat people too. *Fond memories of the flesh-eating tomato movie*

and halo doesnt like spheres. more specifically, tool doesnt like spheres. oh well everyone had their opinions. even if they are against certain geometrical shapes....

Awww! This was one of my ideas! I always wanted to make actual environments you can land on outside the map. Me and my brother tried doing this, but it hasn't been till now that I have made a fully functional map. But this one is indoors, so nothing like this sadly. Anyone could make this, but GJ anyway.

KUDOS!

Hey, I got an idea, why don't you instead opf just making a sphere and skinning, it make little outdents on the sphere where the moutains and junk are? It's more of a challange.

For a render that would work, but I think he wants to put this in game..
