Well, it's almost Christmas, gang. And that means it's time to get into the spirit of giving once again - as if we'd ever let you down.
The 405th Asset Team are very proud to announce the release of full, high-quality assets to the community - one of our largest to date. This release blows our previous packs way out of the water - featuring not only high-quality versions of our previous Halo 5 assets, but also brand-new files to help the community get the most out of their costumes and reach the highest levels of accuracy possible.
In this update, we're kicking the door wide open on Halo 5. Here's a full list of what you can expect to find in the Archive soon:
- Remastered Multiplayer armour files - existing files will be updated, as well as including new armour sets such as the Icarus armour set.
- Higher-resolution texture support - better textures allow our modellers to put out better files, and skins files will allow our creators to apply game-accurate livery to their pieces.
- Weapons files. Enjoy brand-new assets, such as the Plasma Caster and the Hydra Launcher, or enjoy old favourites, such as the Grenade Launcher and the SPNKr Rocket Launcher.
But that's not all. In addition to improving our existing content, we figured it's also high time that you all got the chance to represent as more than simply your Multiplayer Spartan. In this update, we're proud to announce that, at long last, Campaign undersuits are available. Those wishing to more accurately recreate their favourite Campaign character - or simply add new flair to their Multiplayer armour set - will now be able to do so. We know that this has been a long-requested asset feature and we're so happy to finally be able to provide it for you.
These files will be going up in stages as time and file-size allowance permits over the next few days. Updates to this thread will be made as packs go up, and there will be updates as I'm able to make them. My priority for now will be making sure that you all get the main things - I'm well aware that you'll all be very eager to get your hands on the Campaign undersuits and the new Master Chief assets. It's worth noting, however, that due to the large file size, I'm having to compromise slightly with the textures, and offering them primarily in JPG format as opposed to a lossless format - I realise this isn't exactly ideal, but I honestly believe that this is an acceptable compromise. If, at some point in the future, a means for me to host on-site the lossless files, I will certainly be doing so.
As ever, however, there are caveats. In order to make sure that the process goes smoothly, there are a few things I ask from the community here:
- Please don't request files. I realise that you're all going to be eager, but until I've gotten the main bulk of the uploading done I'd rather not have to field requests from people. Once I'm done, feel free to ask if I missed something, but I'd rather not have to deal with posts featuring requests such as 'hey, do the Scorpion tank next!' or 'when are you going to upload the Assault Rifle?'. The answer will always be 'when I get around to it'.
- Please don't discuss the asset tools. It should go without saying, but we're able to host these files by the good grace of 343i - let's not spoil that relationship by stepping outside the XBox ToS.
- These files are NOT designed for use in animation. If you're a member from another site looking to use these models, please consider instead making your requests through your home forum channels. I have not put these packs together with animation in mind and never will be offering rigged models.
All that remains is for me to wish you all a very happy holidays - be safe, and enjoy these assets. Let's make 2017 the next level in costuming.
