At last, the UTM is released.
Information:
The Halo UTM was a project me and my team started months ago.
Its purpose was to bundle a variety of models based on the universe of the popular FPS game, Halo, into a single map database. This is to allow other enthusiastic Halo mappers to employ some aesthetic features.
Now, I know what you're thinking; Halo U-T-M, Ultimate-Terraining-Map, where's the terrain? Well, this UTM was made to focus on units, as well as weapon attachments and doodads.
Most of the models were either done by the UTM team, or donated by modellers far and wide. We worked hard on this.
Hopefully, we will be continually be updating this, and, honest to god, most of the UNSC look hideous.
The Team:
Here is the team behind it all:
Finder -
Hevenblood - an awesome, resourceful helper, and the first to join!
Primary Modeller -

Secondary Modeller -
Revilo, one who can animate neatly and create cool geometry

Use:
Well, if you've never used a UTM, a UTM(Ultimate Terraining Map) is a Wc3 map that, instead of having playable/viewable features (like Altered Melees and cinematics), is a mini-database for specific resources. This map is focused on Halo, and so consists of many Halo models.
It has 22 units, 21 weapons, and 53 doodads in total.
The UTM is arranged in three factions; UNSC (the humans), Covenant (the aliens), and Others (the... others), and then further divided into separate categories; Units, Weapons and Doodads.
Units are represented by units in the Object Editor, Weapons are represented by items, and Doodads by doodads. Also, the factions will be represented by categories within, eg. The UNSC units are categorised as Humans, the Covenant as Orcs, and the Others as Undead.
Oh, and before I forget...
GIVE CREDITS. Always give credits to the authors of the models. Credits are listed in the Trigger Editor, and there is a key to ease your navigation. Also, if you'd like, you can also additionally credit the UTM as the 'UTM Team' if you use any resources.
Thanks for downloading. 7
