Ok, I have lightwave 3d and I need to know the maximum number of polygons a halo2 model can have and how to uv things. I am a total n00b at modeling, so any tutorials on modeling halo2 weapons you can give me will be a total help.

I heard somewhere that theres no limit on polys, just that you should try to keep your model under 10kb. There a really awesome tut in the modeling and skinning forum on UVWing, it for 3ds max though which I would think would be alot easyer and simpler to model with.

Yes but lightwave is what they used to model and uv halo2
So I would like tuts for lightwave. But I'll check that stuff out, too.

Where did you find that out, I think its wrong becuase for the modelers job on bungie it says that you should be good with 3ds max...
EDIT:yea, its true

Nope, look here:

In the bottom right corner where it says games, it clearly says halo.
