Bring these back! I love watching others use objects in their creative ways to implement into mine!!

[@RedNomster]

Leave a like if you learned something new

[@camilobarahona588]

dude you are awesome, i really expect your next videos

[@Zzethr]

Nice, I love it. Next room/location looks cool aswell

[@RedNomster]

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!

[@DEWtheMCCOY]

Great work as always. Can’t wait to see more of these!

[@RedNomster]

Thanks MCCOY 🤝 Next update will be even more detailed!

[@chriskasatka2095]

This is simply glorious!

[@nuclearbuilds]

Thank you for the highlighting tip using OBB, hadn't thought of that. I am also frustrated by the VERY limited glass options. Trying not to over use the creature tank lol. Keep up the amazing work, nice to see another forger who goes ham on details.😀

[@ElitheSensei]

Great video! I wonder what this could be for 🤔

[@DavidtheFoodie]

Your stuff is just different 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RC-zb8tl]

5:30 I'd like to see you make the liquid be effected by gravity on this one since the jar is on it's side! Should be simple enough to do with either one cylinder or one half cylinder for the curved part, and a rectangular block for the rest!

[@FlipFlopDeeble]

I love these videos sooo much!! I'm new to forge so this helps me a lot when it comes to figuring out how to use forge and make it look amazing!! Please keep making videos like this!!

[@RedNomster]

Part 3 drops Friday hopefully!

[@Beibok]

Wow this is looking fantastic! Really love the material choice for the apartment floor, and all of the stalls look incredible. I do have a couple questions though. When you are making the actual map, how are you going to move around all of the premade assets? Just try your best to select every piece at once? Grouping seems to be very buggy at this point so not sure how else you'd do it, and manually selecting each individual piece is so tedious lol. Also second question is what gametype will this be for? I think it already has a ton of potential as some type of infection map! 🙂

[@RedNomster]

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 :)

[@Beibok]

@@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!

[@HollowedEyeHounds]

this is so sick!

[@warrentait4610]

I can't wait to see this all come together, great work!

[@Bogiefx-49]

Great work as always! This is the type of videos I like to see, been learning how to create my own map and realized I really need to learn a proper work flow. Can't wait to see more and don't be afraid to go into details. 🖤

[@scottwatrous]

Looks really good. I can't imagine that level of detail holding up for anything too big like a full blown BTB map, since I've hit around 60% in just doing blockput for one of those. But still I really admire the cohesive look. The other challenge of course is porting those assets into the final map: prefabs are a nightmare even with simple stuff 😔

[@RedNomster]

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 😁

[@scottwatrous]

@@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.

[@Bee77]

This is insane... Here I am giving up creating simple maps and you're making these 🤯🤯Subscribed to see the process !

[@RedNomster]

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 🤝

[@ericsonofjohn9384]

This channel is incredible

[@ImSkunky]

Love your work. Currently working on a BTB/Infection map that takes place is a district of New Mombasa. This video is gonna take my progress to the next level 🖤🖤

[@ShawnMeira]

Would love to see more cyberpunk maps in halo!

[@RedNomster]

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 :)

[@Eimaa51]

dude this is great to watch! pretty amazing with what you come up

[@RedNomster]

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

[@edoardorenzi_]

The light box got me like :O

[@RedNomster]

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 🤝

[@scartissue121]

These videos are really relaxing to watch. Love your content keep it coming

[@RedNomster]

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!

[@donnysheldon5835]

Amazing tutorial, I never thought to use lighting to color and even animate objects, that has so many potential uses!

[@RedNomster]

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!

[@donnysheldon5835]

@@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!

[@lyrengutierrez9136]

I recently played with you on your gamenight map

[@JarnoFlankenboer]

Damn

[@Daniel-gu8mb]

you are insane

[@SUL55_]

you should call it CORPO

[@RedNomster]

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

[@isaaclai1636]

zanny's gonna be pissed lmao

[@MCSWAG]

you're too good 😂🔥

[@TimeTravel-0]

Superb work! I was wondering how you captured the thumbnail for this video, it almost has a tilt shift photo look to it? I know it's not related to this process but have you considered making a video about how to capture diorama style art in the new Forge? Halo 3 was full of incredibly creative ways to manipulate the camera to produce a desired effect, it'd be great to dive into that in infinite

[@RedNomster]

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

[@TimeTravel-0]

@@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

[@thehipinmyear]

Loving this, as I've just finally started playing Cyberpunk 2077 over the past week or so. God, is it ever good. Can't wait to try this out. Finally... the neon, holographic parasites that are the cosmetic mohawks, halo rings, and footstep/slide effects, etc. will FINALLY fit in... *rolls eyes and then proceeds to projectile vomit, violently and untrammeled, all over the place*
