Hey ppl, I'm looking for a way to design a map for Halo CE but I don't know many people that have the money to shell out for the 3ds max... I for one do not have that much money ($200 if i'm not mistaken and NO I will NOT DL it illegaly) I just wanna make a map that (for those who have Red Faction or Red Faction 2) similar to Warlords... with the two four floor bases facing each other with realtivly little wide open space between them. and all sorts of nooks to hide out in and such... and anything else I can think of... i need a "new person" friendly program if possible... I know there's Gmax but from what I understand that's a trial and I'm not sure if it can make a map for Halo... unless Im just missing something in the H.E.K. that I downloaded and if there is a program in there that will let you actually design a level or edit an already existing level. (such as sidewinder... everyone seems to mod BG... why not sidewinder?) if any one can help that'd be much appreciated

I just heard someone else in another forum say that Gmax was a freeware version of 3Ds max.

yes, gma xis a free version of 3dsmax. learn about it at http://www.discreet.com/ works well for map making, i hear. but if you can't figure it out, on the same site, you can d/l a 3dsmax 30-day trial... if you work fast, you can make about 15 maps, or one good map in that time. so yeah...Gmax...

If you're going to use gmax then you need to download the special exporter from somewhere.

You mean Chimp, or whatever the guerilla replacement is?
