Modding Halo Reach Models

[sean360h 0]

Recently I have taken up animation as a hobby and some times I help one of my friends with Halo Machinimas the only problem is if I need to make some thing for him eg. A Pelican or a Warthog its a very time consuming processs to model the stuff (to the point that it looks exactly the same as the models in the game and im not exactly good at modeling either) or hunt for textured models of what I want

So I was wondering if theres any way to rip the models from the game I have seen this done with Halo Ce and Two (on P.C) and I have also seen modders input their own animations/models into Halo like the "Portal Gun Mod" so I would assume that taking the models is pretty much the same

If anyone knows any thing I would really appricate it.

It's not possible to rip or inject models/textures/animations from Halo: Reach or Halo 3. You can only edit existing ones by using coordinate editing in ascension, which is very time consuming.

I don't think we have a model extractor tool for reach. There are no model mods either. The portal gun is actually just a clever combination of chunks already in the game repositioned and rotated.

@Everyone

I believe even though the game does have a massive amount of HIGH END Security for there stuff people have been able to actually rip models from Halo 2/3 I've seen it, sure there are EMF Xtracters but hes talking about the actual models, I can see this being extremely hard but with a certain amount of time/ research we could actually probably get the models ripped off the game, if the gaming "Creators" Can do it why can't we? I know most of you are gonna be like "Cause we didn't make the damn game" or something and I am aware of that but if they can do it, then we can to it would just take a VERRRRRYYY long time like maybe years depending on how much people you had working on the program to do this "Model RIP" but like AMD said we should all do some research and come back to see if any of us have responded I know there is a way its just really flippin' hard.

Honestly I don't see it as being that hard if I just had the time to look at it. The only reason why there isn't one already is that most modders tend not to know enough about how the graphics pipeline works in order to be able to understand the data.

I can honestly see the Liberty team making an extractor ...

By "liberty team", you pretty much mean AMD.

Even AMD said it himself, you can't just do it yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a Halo 3 Model extractor made right? If so, I can see a reach model extrator being made sometime in the near future. What I want to see though, is an Injector. It can be made possible with some hard work and some extreme research. I am still waiting on that for Halo 3, but it doesn't seem like anyone will try to make one anytime soon...

That would be nice. Amd, if you and a few guys ever started trying to make an injector, I would pitch in and help with it. If it is just a member that doesn't have an extreme amount of knowlege, I probably wouldn't join in on it because without good knowlege its like what do they expect to get done?

So I am still waiting on an Injector...

Wouldn't we just LOVE a tag injector...

Not going to happen any time soon.

Please. Prove me wrong...

Would it be possible to inject something into a level through hex? If it is, it probably would take an insane amount of effort

Pretty much anything is possible with a hex editor, but that by no means indicates it's easy. Usually it's just easier to write a program for complex tasks like this.

Hey I hope they make an injector for bitmaps in reach you could reskin the water to be a pic of a lambo

...what would be the use of that?

Idk fun lol but it would be useful if you making a YouTube vid and projecting a bitmap with your username from a light would be pretty nice

Um they have made both halo 3 and halo reach extractors and the halo reach extractors are private and i know this for a fact. Some of the reach models were leaked on halo maps

.

heres so pics. The first one i ported the model to CE

Download here (3ds max model):

i came and registered here before people can miss inform you.

for halo 3 extractor get it here. youll need the maps of course too...:

As long as the extractor is kept private like that, we might as well say there isn't one. Keeping programs private does nothing but hurt the community and I frown upon it very much.

Honestly, I think that the person who "extracted" that model just did a really good job of recreating the original from Halo: Reach. A lot of people do that on Halo Maps, and a lot of the recreated models (like a recon armor spartan I saw on there) turn out really nice.

I don't really like the idea of having an injector.

Extractors are fine, but injectors will just take the fun out of modding.

Think about it everyone will lose their creativity. If Snipe did his portal gun mod

just by injecting a model of a portal gun it would not be half as impressive.

It is impressive because he had supplies limited to what was already in the game

and used them cleverly to pull off the illusion of a new model.

Anyone being able to just download a model off of the internet and inject it will

ruin the idea of modding.

It will be too easy.

Tag Injection between .maps WOULD be good though, let's be clear with what type of injection we are talking about
