I'm making a Cyberpunk City in Halo Infinite. (Part 2)

Thanks MCCOY 🤝 Next update will be even more detailed!

FFa over 1v1-4v4 :) but I'll add other modes over time, including a mystery of sorts! I've blocked out the entire map already actually, this blue "lab" is offset 1000 units to keep the layout a secret for now. I move portions of the blockout to this room, and replace it entirely, sliding it back to the real map when done. Saving prefabs is broken really, but I have no issues duplicating/selecting/moving the max of 150 objects. If it's more (like my cyberpunk room in the next video) I just move it in chunks. The shops in this video are ~80 objects though :)

@@RedNomster That's actually a really great idea for designing a map like this. Also very impressive what you can do with just 80 objects man. Excited to see what this is like when it's done! Also looking forward to your community map showcases, having a forger as talented as you showcasing/dissecting community maps is a great idea!

Much appreciated, it definitely took more time than the shops but there are some pretty advanced techniques being used so hopefully it'll be enjoyable after I cut it down!

This map actually includes my blockout already - I build it in the blue room for the purpose of these videos and to keep the layout a secret so there's something to reveal even if you watch this whole series! Each shop is around 80 objects so I could realistically build around 50 of them and still have a few thousand objects. For this map I only need 3, though as you'll see in Part 3 I'll be building more than just shops. It'll be a relatively small and compact map overall, and I don't prefab because i just select the build and slide it into the blockout afterwards 😁

@@RedNomster ahh I see. I was originally thinking y'all were building like a prefab source map that you could then pick and choose the various assets to drop into a host map. I've done that a few times because esp as certain maps get large it seems to get buggier. But, the prefabs don't actually work that well so inevitably I have to import, break them up, and repair whatever broke. So your method of making a separate "clean" build area and then moving stuff into place is a good one.

Some people don't like sharing trade secrets but I make tutorials for just about every method or trick I find, better tricks means better maps for everyone 🤝

Lots of cyberpunk maps right now are more like tron maps and set at night to hide the lack of detail in the darkness. This map will be set at dusk, so hopefully it stands out :)

Welcome Bee :) hopefully it gives you inspiration to continue your own stuff. If not you can always look forward to exploring the map once it's done 🤝

Part 3 drops Friday hopefully!

Thanks Eimaa! Should only get more creative and immersive as the episodes progress :)

I'd make them longer if I didn't have to consistently Forge as well to actually get footage haha. Want to keep it approachable for new forgers too. Next episode drops in a couple days!

There will definitely be a corpo/punk theme throughout the map to help emphasize "red vs blue" without just the colors

zanny's gonna be pissed lmao

I actually havent seen anyone do it yet - I've already previsualized some concepts for making things like holographic logos, which will obviously come in handy for a Cyberpunk Map. It's cool inventing new concepts along the way!

@@RedNomster it would be cool if in the future we could get some kind of sticker system for materials, or even some kind of inverse light for volumetric darkness!

Yep! Same with toy story :)

@@RedNomster that’s incredible man. Looking forward to watching the rest of these

I used to be a screenshot artist in Halo 3 :) here's a tweet I made showcasing shots that are over a decade old: twitter.com/RedNomster/status/1520831574199074816?t=wiPvW4RZJJi1PiZwsAmmPw&s=19 Anyway, you can enter machinima mode in Forge by holding up on the d-pad and x. I often zoom, which isn't vary accommodating or adjustable but give the rise to thumbnails like this and my Game Night thumbnails. I them raise the exposure of the outer edges, but only for the background, allowing it to feel tilt shifted and 3D :) But interestingly enough I didn't use theater mode because machinima mode let's be adjustable the set during the process

@@RedNomster omg that's so cool, I'm gonna try that out asap I bet I you could do some really cool time-lapse style stuff with that technique! Thanks for the reply

Goin through covid right now, waiting til I have my voice to record!

The 19th I'll be doing it Live, follow me on Twitter or join my discord if you haven't because I'll be announcing it there :)
