Triangles: 3533

Still a lot of work, and more parts to be added. Error frenzy Lol.

[jngrow]

Is it just me, or does it looks smoother/more streamlined than it does in h3? Not saying this is necessarily bad or good, just different.

[Inferno]

Yeah it looks a little more smooth. Maybe that's because there is no texture though. I like it.

[Huero]

nice job bro
though is it just me or is the basic shape of the hornet off

[Bastinka]

Turbines look wrong.

[Hotrod]

I find that that Hornet actually looks pretty good, can't wait to actually see it in game. The basic shape seems pretty on, but that's just me.

[Huero]

feels like the angle of the wings is off
but i havent played the damn game in a while dont take my word for it

[teh lag]

Indeed. I think it's that the main body is too thin - it's thicker in H3, and IIRC the front is even a bit bulbous.

[Hunter]

Too thin!? Crap. I had trouble making it thinner at the back because it is waay to thick. The cock pit section must be too thin then. Lol.

Edit: Here is a front view. Note there is no interier yet.

[TeeKup]

It looks really close to me. But I think the front is a bit too stubby.

[NuggetWarmer]

Other than the missing ski or whatever that thing on the bottom is, I would say its pretty dang accurate. If you say its way off then I would think you are just nitpicking.

[RobertGraham]

It would be nice to see an interior :D

[Apoc4lypse]

pretty damn good I think... what I think is making it look skinny though is a few minor inaccuracys with the front.

/nitpicking - the uh I really have no idea what youd call them, steps? on the sides of it, how they curve down at the ends dont seem to have enough verticle bend they seem like they need to be a bit thicker, and something with where those "steps" meet the cockpit in the front, that piece between the cockpit and the "step" is off in shape or scale, I'd need more angles to pinpoint what it is exactly.

Now this is being really picky, the sections under the thrusters, theres a flat part of the cylender extruding out perpendicular then it angles inward creating kind of a cone shape, move the perpendicular secion of the cones down very slightly, it appears to come down slightly more in the picture posted above, thus making the angle on the cone slightly off. /nitpicking

Really I think its a great model, but if it was my model, I'd be going nuts trying to figure out whats making it look thin.. especially since its white right now and once you texture it and shade it darker, its only going to look thinner.

I'd also agree with making the cockpit maybe slightly larger, and maybe slightly more bulbous/bent out.

[TeeKup]

The stepping platforms are far too thin now that I see it.

Still more parts and adjustments. But ive mad eit a bit fatty. I think it could be fatery still at the front, right on the nose area though.

[Geo]

That is a lot better. The areas where the passengers sit seem a bit small still tho. Maybe make it just under a foot wider as far as real life scale goes.

[NuggetWarmer]

Little wider in the front, and it'll be good.

[paladin]

Looks good, but idk why, it looks a little stubby.

[Hunter]

More or less finished now:

[jngrow]

Looks good enough. Massive improvement from that first post IMO.

[Hotrod]

Oh yeah, that looks much better now.

[Disaster]

damn fine job. I hope I get to texture it?

[teh lag]

The pads on the bottom that the passengers ride on could still stand to be a bit thicker. That aside, it looks alright.

[Hunter]

If you want to.

I will fix. Thanks. Been waiting for your reply. :p

[MissingSpartan7]

you are doing very well
can't wait to see textured and in-game
(don't forget the snowbound hornet varient!)

[Advancebo]

You mean Avalanche Variant

[NuggetWarmer]

Get rid of the holes for bullets/rockets. Those aren't modeled in on the original, and can be added in the texture.

EDIT: Also, you need the handles on the sides for passengers to hold onto, which are on the Halo 3 hornet. I'd get you some reference pics, but my 360 has the rrod.

[Hunter]

Halo:CE, more detailed models are needed. I dont want a ugly model in CE, no bumpmaps. And the holes are in the turret in H3, And in the rocket launchers in H3 I think.

[NuggetWarmer]

No, in Halo 3 the holes are textured on.

[Inferno]

But why sacrifice detail just because halo 3 did?

[NuggetWarmer]

Because it won't look right? Because it saves tris that can be used for details he didn't add in? Sure, he could keep them, but it looks better without the holes.

[Inferno]

If you textured it right it would look fine. Just have it fade to black as you go into the hole. Sort of how the bottom of the seats in the warthog fades out into shadow.

That doesn't matter for the barrel of a gun, considering it's basically going to look solid black if it's modeled or painted.

[Hunter]

True ^ But I like details. if you want them removed, then ask the person who is going to texture it remove them before they unwrap it. They are staying on my version. They are only 5 sides or afew more, not really many tris tbh...

[NuggetWarmer]

I'l see if I can get the model from either Dee or Disaster. There's a lot of stuff you missed anyway.

What model are you talking about, the actual Halo 3 model?

[Sel]

What model are you talking about, the actual Halo 3 model?

Why does it matter?

[Disaster]

What model are you talking about, the actual Halo 3 model?
No the one Hunter modeled.

[ShadowSpartan]

Why does it matter?
I am asking NuggetWarmer a question, not you. Why do you care about me asking a question?

[MissingSpartan7]

Hunter modelled a hornet?
*at this point i realise who is posting the pictures....*

[SnaFuBAR]

Halo:CE, more detailed models are needed. I dont want a ugly model in CE, no bumpmaps. And the holes are in the turret in H3, And in the rocket launchers in H3 I think.

sup let's waste tris on things you won't see when you're using the vehicle instead of improving the silhouette of the vehicle and important details. PS 5 sided barrel holes suck, you wasted tris for nothing.

[NuggetWarmer]

What model are you talking about, the actual Halo 3 model?

No, Hunter's model.

[Hunter]

ffs. I will take them of then. And why will Dee have my model? tbh I dont want him having it.

[NuggetWarmer]

Either HDoan or Dee are unwrapping it.

[MissingSpartan7]

you could actually be wasting time..
there's already a public hornet model in the "h3 model pack" on halomaps
..its alright

[Hunter]

No. Thats probably ripped. Plus we use our OWN content instead of other peoples. People who suck at life use rips.

(Not all, depends on who and why)

[Choking Victim]

You really need to chill the fuck out. Plus, you don't seem to understand that there's no public way to rip from halo 3 retail maps, which is the only public build of the game containing the hornet.

[Advancebo]

Actually it was modeled in Google Ketchup.

[Alwin Roth]

I have a hornet model you can have, its pretty neat to be honest, but a bit blocky.

[Hunter]

I was saying if it was ripped. I dunno if it was.

Thanks for the offer Alwin Roth, but i have my own now.

well still, even if i gave you the hornet you wouldn't be able to compile it to Halo CE

Legos ftw bitches.

[MissingSpartan7]

wow, this thread has completely died off.
what happened?

[Hunter]

Errrm.. there is no reason to post?
