Hi there, Anyone know how Bungie does the sky in Halo, especially the cool looking clouds. Would it just be a texture like every other game around or are they volumetric clouds? Brett

I very much doubt that anyone here would know that, considering the game won''t be released until XBox is. Unless theres a Bungie informant hiding around here in the shadows who will tell you, you can only find speculation here. Try asking the rabid fans for their guesses at halo.bungie.org or emailing Bungie themselves to find out.

My guess would be that Halo''s background sky + clouds on the ring is a still, and the clouds in the immediate scenery are volumetric.

I''ve fiddled around with level-design. So my best bet would be that they use an animated skybox. Or maybe they actually add the clouds in to give it a realistic look.
On the subject, will Halo ever be released for the PC?

From what I know Halo will be released on PC and Mac after it is released on the X-Box next year.

I heard Halo was not going to be released on the X-Box at all and only on the PC and Mac.

Hate to say but you heard wrong foo; Halo is XBox + PC + Mac from the mouths of the developers themselves. Anyways, things could change in the next year, who knows what''ll happen...
