Foot is messed up. looky at the back of the foot. Fix the bump on the right hand too, it's inverted.

It's always been that way, even in H3. That's where the UV seam is.

I can't fix that, i tried already. Btw its the lighting that effects the bump, it could be inverted or not, like rooster said

You need to take a look at your refs again because so many parts of that gun are off in proportion and look. For instance, the retractable stock bar, the sights, and that reflex sight. Also, the shape of the upper half of the gun. Get an fp view and see how it should look.

didnt conscars find fucking blueprints for the pistol, smg, and br?

No one is allowed to mess those up ever again and should be banned for doing so.

Not really the right place to post that at all... and I've never come across that in Maya. Start a new scene and try rendering and see if it's your Maya or your scene.

[nick3d]

Im sorry but i needed the crit, my thread never gets viewed so, i thought id shove it in here, its also in my thread but here is quicker for a bit off feedback, thanks, ill try it with just a cube and stuff :)

It works with a different render scene, but it might be my RAM on my computer, or my computer specs, not enough memory to render it, or my graphics card, because i know my graphics card is wank lol

no, just make it partially mirrored or something, it'd be kinda cool to be able to see inside it

It's not like the ship needs to be interesting at every turn. You'll be looking out over the map.

rofl my only quick advice is... study the cinematics in Halo Wars, shows a perfect observation deck and captains room, yada yada yada... :PI've spent some time doing just that.

Overall, the design is based on Mass's concept sketch of the exterior, which I've accepted and pushed off to BTGII to start modeling this weekend. So, yes, glass super thick plastic-like material floors and windows throughout the bridge. The lack of visible windows was a major problem with the original Draco, which is why I've moved the gunner into the bridge and accepted Mass's extremely "transparent" design. Also, it just seems right after looking at the Spirit of Fire for literally hours today.

e: As it's a design aspect, I guess I can ask here - should the windows be heavily tinted so it's hard to see in from the outside but still possible? Or no tinting? Or opaque golden reflection like on the Cairo?

[rossmum]

It should look like the bridge of a military vessel, not the lobby of an upmarket hotel.

More consoles. More fuseboxes and relays. More access hatches.

That is the most childish answer i have ever had off any1 on this forum and trust me iv had some childish shit on here, you use 3ds right?? well that's your preference, if you go to university to do games design, you spend more time using Maya than you do 3ds because it is obviously the better program, 3ds... 1 year, Maya... 2 years. And no it isn't because it has loads of tools and all this shit which i get off hunter, its a completely different way of going into design, better user interface, to my preferences anyway, your access off it is alot easier, make your own tool bars and stuff like that, its a more expensive program, it is used by alot of well known industries

[Roostervier]

Forget about what program is better. No one so far knows the answer to your problem, search else where. Use google for fucks sake.

9300 tris or 9300 polies? If it's polies, it shouldn't be anything close to that.

Its polies, but remember I modelled like half of the model in triangles, with each triangle being counted as a poly.

Can you ask snaf how he did the grid like pattern on the mesh?

[Corndogman]

My guess would be he duplicated the mesh, put a slight push modifier on it, gave it a white wire material. The original mesh just got a blue transparent material.

[MetKiller Joe]

@Fear: It was basically what Corndogman described. I duplicated the mesh with turbosmooth, added a push modifier, and then applied a gradient as the opacity map so that it fades across the mesh.

The material was a forced wire with a white diffuse and some self-illumination.

I got the extra spiny effect by accident, although, you could probably duplicate that somehow either in the shader properties or using more gradients.

The foregrip is ugly as sin, the red dot doesn't look rounded enough, and the wire going to the laser pointer looks too thick.

[Roostervier]

Make the stock bar fatter, it's far too skinny.

[Advancebo]

The shape of the reflex is wrong.

I see no real different. make the outer part of the doted sight more round at the top, it looks bad right there.

[Joshflighter]

The handles are kind of fugly imo. I also don't like the scope thing. It looks to tall, again, imo.

[rossmum]

The clouds are ok, just need more depth, you need to establish a point of light then give the clouds shadows wherever they face the opposite direction, or where ever the bases of "hills" are formed by the clouds. You need to show depth, which can be done by making the planes that are further away more the color of the atmosphere, aka the color of the sky. Also go look at some tutorials on lighting, shadows actually sort of tend to bleed the color of the environment, while in the light the things true color is shown. So your shadows would be a mix of brown and dark orange, and the places in sunlight would be a golden copper tone. Since I have no idea what style you are going for, I can not give anymore cit on the type of brush strokes and other things to use.

[rossmum]

i neglected to mention it's an edited screenshot

i tweaked the lighting on the mosquitoes and the colours over the whole pic, plus did the flak bursts

clouds are 100% ingame, although i see how they could use some shadowing

I need a better photo for my bio page, the one that's currently there is a placeholder. Ignore the weird line on the gallery, I'm trying to fix that, and I will also pay for the full version so that it doesn't have the copyright etc.

In fact, the gallery is rough for now, there's a few things I need to fix/figure out, but at least it works, albeit messily (incorrect shadow size, lousy thumbnails, etc etc)

It looks really good! I love the logo thing. Contact info is pretty neat too :p The bio pic is cute :)

still to do:

-strip textures
-inner door shield textures (visible through windows)

[Higuy]

Looks pretty good so far.

[Rentafence]

So I take it noone noticed my stuff up top.

[Con]

I'd leave the shineys to halo's shader and only lightly on the skin.

[Chainsy]

Well...the model looks good, not much on the skin to crit, go look at worn metals, since human hands have a oil on them that would cause after long exposure some dullness, plus treat the metal as you would on a sword, theyre basically the same thing, so it would have battle scratches and peeling paint if it has any on it. The plastic parts would be worn down, any kind of textured grip will be worn off in places from the sweat and oil of hands....umh... the opening of the light saber would be scorched, and the top part where the laser emites would prolly be a heavier, denser metal, while the main handle would be a lighter one that is thinner.

[Heathen]

Cool site Reaper.

[Reaper Man]

Thanks guys! No criticisms?

[PenGuin1362]

it sucks clever design

Actually the bio needs some work. It just sounds odd. If you'd like I can help ya out with writing that.

[DEElekgolo]

The texture could use a little cross hatch. If you look at some of the forerunner textures in halo 3, there is a little cross hatching going on in the texture.

[Reaper Man]

That'd be cool. I hate writing about myself, augh.

[MetKiller Joe]

Here is some stuff I wrote about the site a while back. I critted the bio as well:




So, uh http://feignphoto.com/newtemplate/index.html

The bio and contact pages are done, the flash-based gallery will be up soon.

Don't make people wait for your website to load.

LightBox 2 (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/)
FrogJS (http://www.puidokas.com/portfolio/frogjs/)

LightBox supports multiple galleries per page, but FrogJS only supports one. I've heard there are ways to get FrogJS to instance on a page with frames, but I've never tried it.

The benefit of FrogJS is that the gallery is just there. No need for the user to click and wait (all images can be preloaded).

As for the Bio site, very nice photo, but I'd go with something that shows your face. The purpose of that picture, I presume, is to show yourself; don't make whoever looks at it guess how you may look.

As for the front-page. I wouldn't put anything fancy there. A description that can be read in 5-10 seconds with 12-14 pt font. I'd have a link to your porfolio as well.

If you hand your card to somebody, and tell them "Look at this website for my work," make it easy on their time because they won't spend more than 30 seconds looking at the site as a preview (then if they like what they see they will continue).

I'd add some more CSS to the links at the bottom (when you hover over them, they light up), and for the contact page I'd do the same. It wasn't obvious that those were links (I would use a simple font there and preload the images).

Lots of small things, but they all kinda collude, so I'd fix 'em.



Ivan Feign is an 18 year old, self-taught photographer who, at the age of 15, first picked up a camera, and, A[just a suggestion] after getting his first DSLR on his 16th birthday, he was completely hooked on photography.
.
.
////
Since then he has, on top of his creative photography, covered events such as proms, performances [which ones; link would be nice] and commercial advertisements [example? link would be nice].

Ivan mainly uses his DSLRs for his photography. However, for artistic endeavors [don't use complex language to describe something simple; e.g. (artistic photography)], he uses repertoire film cameras. Ivan usually uses color slide films such as Velvia and Ektachrome. He uses as well as Ilford films for black and white photography.
/// <-- this section could compressed and combined a bit
.
.
Ivan will be studying photography at Savannah College of Art and Design as a cohort of the class of 2013 where he hopes to delve deeper into the world of photography [again, use simple language; (learn more about and practice his photography).

So, dumb it down? Really? >_>

[MetKiller Joe]

So, dumb it down? Really? >_>

Excuse me?

[Reaper Man]

Excuse me?
It seems you want me to dumb down my bio. I should've been more specific.

[MetKiller Joe]

Yes, that would be putting it bluntly. I did the same with my resume. You want to make the impression that people can work with you face to face without there being a tense atmosphere. Just describe yourself more casually. People appreciate that a lot more.

[Rentafence]

But why would a professional act casual instead of professional?

[PenGuin1362]

I would advise against what he's saying >_>. What you have is fine, just sounds a little awkward. You want to present your self professionally. Leave the casual atmosphere for when you land an interview/client. Hit me up on AIM later and I'll help ya out. Hopefully it helps.

Any pics of the in-game bubble too or does it not have shaders/textures?

[Hunter]

I havnt got a any pictures of that, mainly because its crap at the moment, need to add the glow effects and all of the other crap.

Cool lightsabers are cool.
1. 6/8 sided rotated planes or
2. An actually modelled mesh with specular?
I vote 1.

Decided to model some old building for practice

EDIT:Shoot, didn't get my window sizes right. Will fix that

I'm going to say 1. The model would look megashitty.

[rossmum]

You'll need more planes than that unless you want it to look absolutely horrible from various angles.

[Rentafence]

Nope, it's actually looking perfect ingame. The only angle it looks horribad at is directly over it, since then your looking parallel to the direction the planes are going.

[rossmum]

Put a cross-sectional circular plane partway down, I guess. vOv

[k9colin]

Yeah I figured that would happen. If only CE had Halo 3's lighting - if you could get something as near as awesome as the H3 sword's looks, i think you would have gotten a pretty decent saber with that.

[Rentafence]

It already is pretty decent, sir. Shouldn't be too much of a problem though, you're rarely going to be looking straight down on it, if ever.

Sorry if it sounded like I was implying that your saber sucked, it doesn't. Just simply saying a modelled saber with the H3 sword's effects and lighting would look kickass - your saber is still aight.

You're going to extrudy land for a walk down bevel street.

More =/ better. Think of a single red dot in the center of a page, then think of a page full of red dots, all systematically arranged and perfect... which one is more interesting to look at? The single red dot.

Your model there is polka dots.

Dont like the throw. Looks like he slaps it off. And the way it snaps back into position like his arms were mechanical looks wonky.

I was so hoping thats what it was.

[rossmum]

That's not how you reload a Sten. It fires from an open bolt, same as virtually every WWII submachine gun; the Sten was basically a British MP40, so they operated in largely the same manner. The bolt was pulled back and locked in the little safety notch, the mag was changed, and it was released from the notch. The bolt would then lock in the open position until the trigger was pulled.

Hey, you're far from the first one to fuck up a WWII gun reload animation. In World at War at least 70% of all the animations are somehow wrong :|

[ICEE]

I noticed that lol. Cod has a long history of being terrible. In cod(2?3? one of those) the sten reload was a simple, robotic pull mag-insert mag. That sort of thing looks horrible and unprofessional to me. The one game that I let it slide on is Tf2 because <3.

Treyarch are idiots, CoD5 is terrible, and they seem to have based the operation and characteristics of all the weapons on either a) the CoD4 weapons they overwrote or b) what kids on the internet told them. There's your reason.

Actually, Gearbox got it wrong on the MP40 in all three BiA games, which rather surprised me; other than that, it's a bit of a mixed bag. If you want to animate a gun well, watch the real thing being fired and reloaded (or better yet, do it yourself).

[ICEE]

Well, assuming that this were the proper way to reload a sten, how would you rank the animation?

There are still a few polygons needed to be filled in but the majority of the model is done and i've gone into detailing the front end of it.

Radiosity =/= dynamic

That would be if my texture was to light the level. Or maybe i'm wrong.

Yeah, I'm definitely not the best with animating, but at least they're decent and I can say they're mine :)

[Heathen]

For the anims, have it show a little more arm. Have him extend his arm out more, ya know?

And when the lazer jolts out, have it recoil more.
It doesn't make sense, but it adds a sense of badassery.

[ThePlague]

Instead of a grenade throw, make him throw the lightsaber and boomerang back. To add to the even more badassery with heathen's suggestion

Oh and make him blunt with the dull end, just for lolz

Lips need more of an outline imo. Also try messing around with the shape of the face, like make it skinner, longer, more distinct chin, adams apple. Maybe the shape of the ears and the forehead?

Just getting ya to think, not saying it's bad. :)

Might even help you to have a theme as to what kind of person you wanna sculpt, eg - stereotyping.

[Disaster]

Yeah. I've done alot more to the face since then. I'll try to get another pic tomorrow morning.

I've made the face more masculine because in that pic it looked to feminine specifically a more defined chin and pronounced features.

Thinking about turning it into a sci fi character thing.

Working a bit more this morning.

[FluffyDucky™]

Looking angreh now! :D Looks nice, try adding a big scar on his face for detail! :)

[Roostervier]

Try adding larger features. other than the basic shape, the face feels kind of flat.

Here are some examples of what I mean:

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9553/allje6.jpg
Not human, but you see how he added in many larger details.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g237/goat987/cpHiresFace.jpg
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g237/goat987/pilotHi_clay.jpg
You can see the depth better in the second picture.

What you've got is a nice start, but don't be afraid to add that other detail in there. It will look much better once the face has some depth and it's got more defining features.

[Disaster]

Alright, will get right on it. Thanks <3

[Roostervier]

The base mesh (meaning the gun part, rather than the barrel) should just be an M6G (or w/e the pistol from h3 is) and the rest you should model on. Also, you forgot the slide catch and the safety.

[Con]

Nice panorama Con, how many photos did you use?

Photoshop >_> I think I overdid it a bit though, I'm just usually not satisfied with colour in digital photos so I edit it to be a little more like real life. You have to switch to lab colour and edit the curves for the two colour channels.

I will add the extra details and parts tonight or tomorrow. Need to do some major editing of the top part first to make it look more interesting.

[Malloy]

@ Hunter, its fine the way it is, I dont udnerstand bitches puttin stupid mesh details on when its going in Halo. If it were goin in UT3 or Crytech Engine i'd understand its specular and normal advantage, but horrible extrusions here and there make it look fugly when that shit can be covered by a really good texture ingame.

Just because its going in halo doesn't mean you make it all boxes and cylinders either. UT3 and Crytech engine only take more polies and have extra features that make them greater, but it does not make the Halo CE engine a psp game. It can still take polies and stuff that are meant to look nice.

Its called custom. Why would I make it the same as everyone elses? Thats just boring.

Image 1: "Yeah, thats a Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"
Image 2: "Yeah, thats a Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"
Image 3: "Yeah, thats Hunter's Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"

See the difference? Just something I have noticed whilst being here. Replicates are just boring.

[Joshflighter]

If you are going to replicate something replicate it right. If you cant, don't just say: I'm going custom.

From what I see, you did try to replicate it, but you got stuff backwards. Like the top part, where its beveled inward, its supposed to be from the back going to the front. Not beveled from the front going to the back.

But really, its fine if you wanna go custom, but from what I see, its more like a replica that will be remembered as yours because some parts are the wrong way instead of being just like the ODST one.

Custom is making something like nothing that is out there. Like what ODST did with the H3 pistol.

That's really the poorest excuse I've ever heard. I really liked that last render, but it was quite apparent that the outline (the part you said is the only thing you tried to get accurate) is extremely inaccurate. All I can say is, don't make a weapon so similar to bungie's that people can get confused and think you're trying to replicate it. Right now it seems like a lousy excuse for laziness and poor modeling. If you're going to make something custom, make something custom.

[Malloy]

This is out of hand. Swine flu's out there people and its comin :D, worry about that before worrying how accurate a recreation of a fictional weapon and grilling someone about it because it gives you a false sense of authority and opinion. Shame on you :P

It looks good even if a bunch of random fucking extrusions arent the same as bungies.

[Hunter]

I didnt state any where that I tryed to make a certain part accurate... Okay, for the hell of it, lets call it Hunter's Muvafukin Magnum...

It does not matter whether it looks like a replicate of the ODST one or not. Why make such a deal out of something which does not matter. Seriously. There is no need.

It is finished now. It looks okay to me. It has not got to be perfect, you fire the dam thing, not stick it in a museum.

[Malloy]

Yeah, I've stated that previously Con but apparantly... I dont see my own points and I drop alot of shit to sound good. Im a really annoying kid. LOL

[Con]

End the argument or more penalties.

[kid908]

@Hunter: barrow for your magnum don't need to be that many sided. No one looks down that way.

@Fear: looks good but can't really say much since i donno what it is.

It's a barrier from one of the firefight areas. You can see them here:

[Joshflighter]

I wanted it to be a texture, but dee said to just leave it like that...

[kid908]

Texture it -.- unless all you want is a portfolio model.

@Con: ah. but what's the center thing?

[Advancebo]

Its the base of a Halo Wars turret, without the turret.

[neuro]

Its called custom. Why would I make it the same as everyone elses? Thats just boring.

Image 1: "Yeah, thats a Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"
Image 2: "Yeah, thats a Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"
Image 3: "Yeah, thats Hunter's Halo 3 ODST Silenced Pistol"

See the difference? Just something I have noticed whilst being here. Replicates are just boring.

because apparently, that's the only thing you CAN do.

i haven't seen a single piece by you which isn't another halo-3-thingy.
so you change a few little thingies around, it's still the same damn thing.

look at it this way, if you think you can be sued for IP-infringement, (hypothetically speaking, before any whiners come along) you're still making the same damn thing.

[SnaFuBAR]

Why don't people try to get inspired and do something better than bungie's silenced magnum.

Tbh it's fucking shit, and they should be ashamed for making a box. Surpass bungie on their stuff ffs, please.

This isn't directed at anyone in general, but at everyone who has or will attempt a box magnum.

[ExAm]

What the fuck is it with everyone and hating on things with hard edges? So it's a bit boxy, so fucking what? Just because you design something doesn't mean it has to be the fucking David of weapons. I think bungie's design looks good and fits with the canon. I don't fucking care if it has angles under 120 degrees.

[SnaFuBAR]

it doesn't have to be a box to have hard edges, hth.

[Hunter]

@Hunter: barrow for your magnum don't need to be that many sided. No one looks down that way.

@Fear: looks good but can't really say much since i donno what it is.
Fixed that, just didnt want to make more renders. I have halved the amount of sides on that part.

Oh my motherfucking god! Sorry, how many times, have I said, that I am making a H3 style tag set? I am sick of saying it. But then people are still like "Oh luk, anuva h3 modelzzz!!!11!!!!11!"

It is fucking annoying!

Okay, let me say again.
I want to make my self, a good Halo 3 Style tag set. :eyesroll: End/

:D

[kid908]

@Hunter: Try putting that in your sign. Maybe people will look there.


My update:
I barely get time to work on this anymore! school ends next week so progress should be faster now that I've gathered enough reference pictures to get it as accurate as I can.

Poly Count: 432379
Tris Count: 929711

I've found areas where I can cut a majority of the faces so I'll optimize that later on. I estimate I can cut the try count about 1/4 to 1/3 of the number above after optimizing it. Area of optimization would be the area of the smaller buildings you see in the 2nd picture. I over did the detail levels on those. I've also estimate the final model to be between 2.2 MILLION TRIS and 3 MILLION TRIS. Remember, this is meant to be a cinematic model if you did not know.

If you don't know what the final product looks like, this is an render made by a guy who worked on the tv series, so I'm considering it the official model:
http://www.alecm.com/images/gallery/galleryBIG_ATLcity_v05.0002.jpg

If you try to google the city, you'll get 2 different official models that are significantly different b/c they used 2 different models.

In addition, don't ask for a wireframe, my computer can't handle it. I'm planning on getting a better computer in 2 years when my current one die. I have wireframe of the older WIP(only 1 or 2) if you want those.

The buildings in those sections look a little to close together. Eh, I wonder why Star Gate Atlantis didn't actually explore and show more, because they only showed 1 percent of the actual structure. There could have been many cool stories made out of different discoveries and stuff. :[

Anyways, its turning out very nice, I remember it when it was only the basic outline. :p

You use xfire?

[Ki11a_FTW]

Thats looking very well-made good job.

The thing you said about wanting your own custom halo 3 tag set. The thing ppl keep pissing you off about and make you repeat over and over again.

[DEElekgolo]

I wanted it to be a texture, but dee said to just leave it like that...
You wanted to bake it but all your angles are perpendicular so nothing would show. I said you would have to sub div model it if you want anything to show up on your normal map.

[Joshflighter]

What do you think I was trying to do after when I said I wanted to model it in quads?

[Hunter]

Unwrapped my pistol. Im not going to bother make any big changes. I will just take in what you tell say to me and use it on my next unwrap. Bare in mind this is my 3rd unwrap I think. And I havn't watched a tutorial or anything.

[Disaster]

Looks great for a 3rd unwrap ever done.

There is a seam going through the middle of the gun it seems?

[Cagerrin]

Fairly rough right now, I've only really worked on the prongs so far.

Reference(Art of Halo version, don't know if it's different from the ingame version. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/TalonX/randomstuff/Inspiration/Terrain-Buildings/delta_library.png)

Why didn't I think of that?!
Lookin good so far.

way to misuse your scratch brush :mech:

[Rentafence]

Oh come on now Disaster, they don't need to be perfect. As long as they aren't a flat bright neon color, and the texture makes the object distinguishable, it's fine. Imo they're nice. Now release them because I would love to use those crates. :3

[Roostervier]

The metal looks a mite cloudy to me.
