The HEK will take 3DS Max files directly. There's a fan-made converter for gmax files out there called Chimp (and, dangit, I lost my bookmark for it... try searching the Gearbox forums for "chimp") which is what I used to half-create my failed CE map. -- Steve really, really suxx0rs at teh 3D modelling.
Wow! A moderator that actually pays active attention to The Maw. Excellent...Anyways, I don't think I can add anything on to what Mister Mod said up there. If you're serious about modding, halomaps.org should help some. That and the Gearbox forums.
yeah I like that there is a moderater that is actualy paying attention to the maw forums thnx I really like when moderaters remember that there is a PC version of Halo as well.
I got chimp from Gearbox.com and ... now what do I do? Do I need Adobie now? What verison of Adobie works best?Thanks again for your help.[Edited on 12/21/2005]
What is adobie? You don't need anything called adobie.
In addition to the HEK and Chimp, you'll also need:* a 3D modelling software package; Chimp will integrate with gmax, which is available as freeware over on turbosquid.com.* a 2D image editor that can handle .TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop is the 800lb gorilla of image editors... I suspect that Photoshop Elements will work too, but can't be certain. I used Paint Shop Pro (now available from Corel) but there are others.* much patience and/or talent. -- Steve was only lacking the last one. Sadly.(PS: there are some video tutorials out there, written for 3DS Max users but still usable by gmax-ers. Again, alas, I've lost the links... anybody know where these are now?)

Ah, well, you don't need to make any textures. The hek has like a trillion for you to use, and if you get HEK+, you can get any texture from any map in halo.
