[WIP]Trepidation Remake

[Jean-Luc]

Hello everyone. Some of you here may recall that (on a different website), I made a piece called Trepidation, seen here:

Well, in the past few weeks, I've come to realize just how many mistakes I made in the piece, and I've decided to remake it.

This new version will have an entirely custom environment that I am modelling, and will not be set in the snowy cliffs that Lockout was.
I am intending to place a UNSC structure that is modelled similarly to Lockout in a High Grounds styled environment, and have a night/day render.

This is what I have modelled so far:

Polycount is 21,272

I remember seeing that render. Nice stuff, keep going. : D

[Heathen]

Looks great.

[NuggetWarmer]

Looking good. H3MT has a bunch of weapons you could use for the render. I dunno if you want to re-skin them though. It's up to you. :p

[TeeKup]

Yeah good luck with that.

[Pooky]

One question, why is the Shotgun dude crouching in the open in the middle of Lockout (Or Blackout or whatever that is)?

Doesn't seem like a very smart thing for someone to be doing.

[Con]

Are you going to be illuminating the background a bit more? Some moonlight on the structure and the cliff would really set the mood.

[Jean-Luc]

Very much so. As I said, I'm planning on both night/day versions of this piece, so I will be certain to incorporate proper lighting adjustments.

how many sides have them cylinders got, because i dont think you need as much as you have got, is it 20? you only really need about 10, if that, your making it to high poly for game play from my point of view.

E:

good start anyways, looks good, bit personaly i think its to high poly

[SnaFuBAR]

it's only for a render scene, not ingame, and i guarantee that it's far more than 20 sided.

[StankBacon]

its not for gameplay, its for a render.


-edit- poo, snaf beat me >.>

Mebe cause it's just a render/pic thingo. Not in-game action footage, silly sausage. :XD: Looks great, keep it up! :)

[Advancebo]

Looks like Lockout

Okay?

It still loses dramatic effect for me when I see some guy crouching out in the open like an idiot.

Why, in some movies, and this render particularly, people hold their weapon with the wrong fucking hand even if they're not left handed? >_>

[Hunter]

I also have a bunch of models you can use for rendering :D

Unfortunately, my only answer to that is the fact that it looked better than having a spartan facing the opposite direction. As we've seen though, the chief is more than capable of operating two guns at once, so maybe we can assume he's ambidextrous ;)

[SnaFuBAR]

Looks like Lockout
how insightful.

[Jean-Luc]

Bit more progress. Almost done with the "Sniper Tower."

Current polycount is 39,502

[BobtheGreatII]

That's looking pretty sweet.

[Sever]

The starting of the ramp up to the Sniper Tower that is mostly obscured by the tower itself - don't make that visible from the current view. Increase its slope and pull the grade-intersection further to the left, so it is fully obscured by the tower.. Random, seemingly spontaneous angles like that confuse the viewer, and thus detract from the piece.

[Jean-Luc]

Good crit. I'll be sure to fix that once I figure out what else goes in that area.

[jngrow]

Where is the original "'Trepidation"? I wanna see some of it.

[Corndogman]

Its the image in the first post.

[Heathen]

So I'm confused. Was this a map or something else?

[BobtheGreatII]

It was a rendered scene... l2read

[Sever]

Dear God you really do have Downs Syndrome.

It is an artistically rendered image of a group of 3d models that are based on a popular First Person Shooter better known as the Halo series.

what ever he said lol

[jngrow]

Oh, my edit didn't go through. Calm down.
