#46 Awesome, gotta read that tutorial when it's out.

#47 Nice, so who wants to make the warthog?

#48 Actually...

made this a while back :D

#49 Alright, ALL of my tutorials are available on the TDN site as pdf files available for download! tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Constructor/ConstructorPdfTutorials

#50 Thanks fo getting those up! Nice warthog too! Toque ready? I had remotely thought about making one for the community to test and mess around with.

#51 No, I don't have a program that will export to the correct file format and it also needs to be textured. If you want you could mess around with it.

#52 I might just make my own like is "halo-like" and release it for testing. Maybe not with crazy detail, but low-poly enough that everyone can use it. That way, it can be easier for me to texture, if I model it. Thanks, though.

#53 Np, good luck.

Halo Style Map tutorial is almost done.

#54 The Halo Style Map Tutorial I actually went back and redid and so it doesnt look like the picture above anymore. That's also why it's been taking a while. Once it is finished the original files will be available for download as well as 265 pictures I took while making it.

#55 I have a tutorial request. It is my understanding that you can setup your object in Constructor to automatically have emitters, working doors, ect. I would like to see a tutorial on how you do that.

#56 Halo-like Warthog Ready for testing!

#57 One tip for making cliffs is to use the old gensurf that can make a set of brushes that fits together in a continuos surface...and then import the generated *.map file and texture it in Constructor and export as *.dif.
(download gensurf here tarot.telefragged.com/gensurf/).

Of course my wish is to be able to lightmap polysoup objects and then make better cliffs/walls directly in e.g. 3DS Max.

#58 Tobias: very nice! I own a mac so I can't make it using this method but great job! I think you just made my unfinished tutorial obsolete. lol!

You should make this into a tutorial, would be glad to put it up on the website (would be very helpful to others).

#59 Wow, that is a perfect find.
