Realistic Room Built in Halo's NEW Forge Mode (Noir Cyberpunk Mystery) 

Cigarette smoke, floating dust particles... THE F*CKIN WATER RUNNING DOWN THE WINDOW HAS A SHADOW Halo Infinite's forge is going to be insane!

@@RedNomster I do wonder if we can make new vehicles for eg. the schiff which was cut from the game but was there in a destroyed version

I’ve always wanted a map that takes place at the base of the ark portal on earth during the war

@@Games_Akimbo maybe when we get flat maps that'd be possible, right now the ceiling of the sky is too low to do large scale builds because we already have to build above an entire pre-made map. There should be flat maps upon release though!

Nah what I want to imagine is someone recreating the entire Halo games like Reach inside of Halo Infinite's forge

Ikr everything we see forge doesn’t have the lighting ANDDDDDDDDD it’s Literally not even the launch forge 😂😅 if what joe staten said is true Then there’s ALOT more coming with forge we haven’t seen supposedly

Baked lighting is overrated. Sometimes the raw builds have more realistic lighting than you think. Baked lighting works in some scenarios but not all. In most cases it's more cinematic than realistic.

@@jhnyjoejoe69 I understand ur point, however we literally can’t say anything until we’ve seen it

@@jhnyjoejoe69 it’s just lighting at the end of the day just makes maps look a bit better, I CARE about how FUN the map is to play, I’m rebuilding all the halo 3 maps the second forge is out and playing that shit 😂

At least having k+m on console will make forge more accessible, faster to navigate/build etc. More detail/polish more content.

Thanks Troy! Might have to make a resident evil lab scene now...

Thank you! Took me about 30 hours to build so I'm happy you enjoy :)

I'm glad the Mayor approves 😍

It was so hard to decide what part of the room to put in the thumbnail lol

Honestly I could imagine this being part of a bot zombies map. Tight and enclosed, interesting for a more horde-like zombie survival mode. Attached to the rest of a building, of course.

VIP spawn room, the rest of the map could be a fight upwards too the roof and a pelicans up there

@@ComradeKoopa I actually designed this with BTB CTF in mind In all seriousness though, I *assume* he's referencing my pinned comment of making an escape room. I was also thinking of rescaling the player and the bots, which if it works, could turn this room into a BTB map for real!

@@RedNomster I’m curious how much objects limits are and the hardware limits as well? It’s amazing to do this on a small scale and I love seeing how far forge has come. My brother and I would play forge, he was the one building, lol but his imagination was always limited by object limits and game breaking limits. Obviously this is capable of so much more now but is it still a problem you’re running into? I can’t imagine having a room to room build like this with normal scaled players which is what I’m wondering? Thanks and btw this build is by far the best looking build I’ve seen. On par with some of the unreal engine hyper real builds.

@@Wigmaster_James thanks James! I know your brother's pain too well haha. The budget is bugged so it says 0% used for me, which is why I made a point in the video about performance being great even with how detailed the room is. Not to mention, there's an entire BTB multiplayer map outside the room being rendered as well because we don't have access to empty worlds yet. So far, budget is a non issue, and neither is performance. I'm unsure how many rooms we could make before performance hits but there's also scripting tools that will allow us to spawn/despawn things outside of our range (like intensive effects and possibly entire rooms or sections of them) to optimize maps

Thanks brother 🤝

Thanks! Hopefully nobody notices that the shadow from the weapon grate is in fact square lmao

In the back of my head I was like "there's no way this depth will be sustainable." Just kept adding detail with absolutely 0 issues for performance and budget 🤯

literally unplayable

@@RedNomster just means we’re looking for a fellow who doesn’t need left shoes.

@@jordanwelch8294 pin that clue up on the cork board ASAP! :O

I'd love to do a close quarters map with hallways and rooms like this! Waiting for release though, I'm 99% sure this map can't transfer to the retail game so it's just a concept.

@@RedNomster deffo should when forge releases a lot that can be done that’s never been seen in halo 🔥

Also, 343rd like. Hah

Thanks Roplecout :) those builds are inevitable, can't wait to see what people come up with. Making an ancient underwater temple next!

Forge doesn't have baked lighting yet tho.

👌

Listened to it on repeat for inspiration 🙌

I'm down to forge broski 🤝

💦

You can fake a flashlight by scripting a light to the direction you're looking :) this way you can customize the flashlights range, color, and flicker too!

Okay I’m convinced forge is amazing now.

*intensely googles* Thanks Elvarchris!

@@RedNomster all in day's work fren! 👌

Nothing outvibes difference of darkness for halo things

Just to be clear for others, I built this :P But yeah, I'm definitely going to continue forging upon release, and I'm excited to play other peoples creations for videos!

< Maps with custom designed microwaves

@@RedNomster @deathtempler

🥺

Definitely interested in some medieval type build for sure, I've got something involving ruins in the works right now though:)

@@RedNomster keep going bro, you are amazing. Maybe forge will rekindle my love for halo.

@@baleriontheblackdread4491 it definitely did for me! Thank again :)

The biggest component missing is customizeable, triggerable text. We only have templates like darksouls. It's ok, but depends heavily on environmental story telling instead of writing. Also means we can't do tutorials really if our maps introduce complex mechanics like spells and stuff. One day hopefully!

Much appreciated Scotula :)

The ground shadow of the rain water is actually a GOBO, rain and the water on the window wouldn't naturally cast a shadow. Just another illusion. :D a GOBO only interacts with physical objects iirc, so the floor instead of the fog. Also only the closed window has that, if you look at the light coming in through the open window there is not water shadow, as there is no window for the water to slip down. And because the blinds are lower on the open window, the string for the blinds isn't pulled down as far... and the string is actually re-scaled screwdrivers lol

@@RedNomster oh you can use GOBOs in Forge? that is a much easier explanation yeah lol. That's why I was wondering how you'd placed that voronoi looking thing (is that the shield fx) outside the window and have the light pass through it, but I figured some manual setup was happening. Do you just put an image plane and the engine does the rest or is more setup required? And yeah, a whole lot of clever tricks being used in this build haha, love to see it!

I'll shamelessly agree, never thought forge could look this good!

This happened with Halo Reach when they introduced object merging. People made 1000x more creative maps on Halo 3 when you had to pre-plan everything to really get that merge glitch looking right. Same thing with old school animation. They had to make sure every little frame was worth having in the film. Then when CGI came along films got easier/faster to make and we got a mountain of trash to dig through to find quality films and animations. It happens, but all it does is make the truly great creators really stand out more when there's something creative.

I wanted to challenge the form a little to see if I can make something convincing without looking like Halo, just testing boundaries! I really like the New Mombasa vibe though so I might tackle that in the future

@@RedNomster hell yeah. I'm being honest. I love the way the build looks and the fact that you took the time to put in all the details. Its awesome

Thanks Rick :D

It's a custom door I made, it's to scale for an American office building (the top part is a window above the door, not part of the door)

@@RedNomster its still a good deal taller than the spartan, who is a good deal taller than the average man

@@colejones8471 I obviously scaled the room to fit a spartan instead of an average man so that's not a factor. There is an object in forge called scale, where you can compare your build to a fake spartan. I just went out of my way to test it. Assessing for a 6 ft 2 player (my height), the door is 83 inches tall. The average door is 80 inches. I'll make sure to shorten my doors 3 inches in the future!

I've got plenty of budget left to design a map like that :)

@@RedNomster if that's the case, I hope to find your map when Forge releases to the public, I've got an ODST that'll work perfect for that aesthetic.

he's stressed bro

For small scenes like this I just wing it. For big maps I make very basic blockouts of the various points of interest to get a sense of scale and how said scene will relate with the rest of the map. Watch my recent videos to get a sense of my work flow from blockout to outcome for various scenes :)

Rain makes a sound, but the video's audio is actually an ODST track that comes with rain. Basically you wouldn't be able to hear the natural rain over the music unless I bumped up the video audio, and there's no way to separate that from the footstep and "ADS" audio making those jarring The rain in game actually sounds better tbh because it's directional, but I settled for added music and decent rain :) The rest of the video comes as-is, no color grading or anything

6% :)

It's bugged :) but clearly not the limit!

@@RedNomster gotcha

If you like building, come back when forge releases. If your like playing custom maps, come back a few weeks after that. The resurgence of forge will likely spill into other playlists like normal and competitive halo too, but a functional Battle Royale (forged or preferably developed for real) is what will give the population a healthy non-custom games boost

Toys in the Attic, OVERDRIVE, and Game Night are available. All the others were built in the pre-beta and didn't transfer unfortunately :) just search those names as keywords in the content browser in game

@@RedNomster you are the best. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work. Your Forging skills are one of a kind!

Deference for Darkness from the Halo 3 ODST soundtrack :)
