[Heathen]

I do NOT wanna know what a "shat wraith" shoots.
E: And you put the wrong pic for the flare and all that stuff.
EE: That AR looks too tall.
EEE: Much rather your cannons than those UGLY wip AA cannons.

[Rentafence]

The wraiths look cool. I'm guessing you have some sort of fetish for them.

[Saggy]

It's spelled "Reticle" not "Reticule".

the troop transport wraith is just a halo 2 wraith with the gun ripped off the back, the AA wip cannons are horrible, odst helmet is horrible, AR And BR look meh to me

cool prowler

[Bad Waffle]

I say dont even use a reticule for the troop transport. I mean, its not really necessary without guns, is it?

Also, you did a good job on the bubble shield, i love the ar too.

you've got potential, man.

[Corndogman]

You put two of the same picture of the AR by the way.

Choose better colors.

it was a pretty simple method, all I did was use overlay layers with lowered opacity, and erased and colored on strips of colors.


When I first followed the tutorial, I came up with this:

For anyone that can do effect tags:

I am trying to get the projectile's contrail/particle exhaust to appear after a second of firing from the barrel, how would I achieve this effect?

[Heathen]

ekh...its okay.

[NuggetWarmer]

Did you manage to get the scanner thing in the left lower corner to work curved?

[Advancebo]

Did you manage to get the scanner thing in the left lower corner to work curved?

I believe I know how, all I have to do is squish and slant the sweeper mask, like I did with the radar outlines. Then just load it into the correct slots, and it should work.

[teh lag]

Now, do those actually transform or are they just halfassed cut>detach models? I'd be slightly impressed if you actually made them transform in a logical (well... by transforming robot standards) manner.

ha ha ha what do you think?

[Terror(NO)More]

Turret could easily transform but that's the only one I see transforming right.

[Malloy]

They were for 'Lols' as stated I doubt there was any intellect involved people.

[Advancebo]

I might make better versions in the future. But then I would need to add more parts to the models :V

Wraith:

[Disaster]

Looks like you blew up a scaled wraith model with the arby inside it and the head got stuck in the hatch.

[Advancebo]

No size changes. Only on the arbiter head. All robots still need heads :V

The warthog has cyborg head.
The shade has grunt head.
The banshee has elite head.
The wraith has arbiter head.

[teh lag]

WAAAAAAH.

Your geometry is a mess dude :\

Don't be afraid to model stuff in multiple elements; for weapons especially that's a good way of approaching modeling. Scope, barrel, etc can all get that.

Front grip is way to fucking huge - it'll look absolutely ridiculous in FP.

There's a shitton of other problems in the model that I can't even begin to start pointing out - in all honesty I'd start over and make having a clean mesh an absolute priority.

[Dr Pepper]

It really is a mess

[legionaire45]

Mesh needs a good bit of work, but it's good that someone finally decided to go after that concept.

Make the pistol grip thicker, remodel the night scope and some of the other parts. Including a wireframe would help.

[ThePlague]

You need to work a lot more on your HUDs too...

[Heathen]

BHAHA, I hope you come in here and explain why you posted that mess.

[Apoc4lypse]

Now, do those actually transform or are they just halfassed cut>detach models? I'd be slightly impressed if you actually made them transform in a logical (well... by transforming robot standards) manner.

this. would be :awesome: lol transformers, make them work ingame and I'll.. n/m...

I like the visor hud, good transparency imo, I like the hud too, the problem is I think the reticle in the center for the rocket launcher seems to get in the way a tad, hard to see what your aiming at.

Some good stuff and some decent and some wtf stuff, keep practicing :)

also lol @ viagra.

E: agreed wit tehlag on the guass rifle, needs some rethinking/remodeling neat idea though.

This by FAR.

[SnaFuBAR]

welp, teh lag said it so i don't have to.

[Advancebo]

Not much of a concept, I know :V.

So I was pretty modeling in a basic shape, and a few ideas I had in my head. Dont worry, the mesh is being reworked. I just wanted to get the basic idea.

[SnaFuBAR]

Uh, nothing wrong with the concept, it's your model of the concept.

[Advancebo]

a tiny, black shaded, shaped like a sniper rifle is a concept :V?

Like I said, the model is being re worked.

[Bastinka]

You can say it's being reworked, but I wont's believes yah until I see's with me own two eyes.

[Advancebo]

I thought humans had 7 eyes?

[SnaFuBAR]

I thought you thought they had 4 (points to your ridiculous avatar).

I thought it was a Halo 2 Chief, because in my folders it said "h2mc".

I have no idea where or whom I got the Halo 3 Spartan from.

I only have the models textures for the Mark VI, no other armors.

Turns out it was not :V

So now I know the difference in the Halo 2 and 3 Chief Armor.

I think they are the same materials, can't remember.
My materials.

The RGB values are from halomods.

Don't flame >:V
Don't ask for the models are materials.
Don't hope for a map.

The only thing that are not mine are:
Models
Textures
Cubemaps
Bump Maps
Specular Map on Halo 2 Spartan

I made the specular for the Halo 1 and 3 Spartans.

[teh lag]

That really doesn't look good at all. The colors are so washed-out, and you don't even seem to have the correct (if you have them at all properly applied) cubemap on the armor or visor. At least post said speculars and the 3ds material trees so we can point out what's wrong with them.

[DEElekgolo]

Arent those my old materials from when you leaked the rips?

[Bastinka]

Render makes the MC look 'flat'.

[Chainsy]

Aren't you an egotistical douchebag who is trying to smash someone who is worse then him to make him feel better for his failures and is being a total hypocrite about him posting leaked, ripped work, when you do all the time on halomaps since you know you will get less hassle there?

I rendered them in the "User" view.

Took me a while t comprehend what you said :confused2:

Anyways, the one I "released" did not include materials. It only included the armors, and textures.

But the one I have currently only has the Mark VI armor and its textures.

Take it somewhere else dude, this isn't the topic for that.

Also, Advance. Try rendering something that's not the MC?

[Heathen]

Oh quit your whining.

Forum drama isn't cool anymore and its not even entertaining with you guys. Its just stupid.

Chains, do that here. (http://www.modacity.net/forums/member.php?u=2127)

I myself am interested in Advance's stuff of stuff.
I like your mc's but they look very bland. Like the color is washed out.

[Advancebo]

Should I render the Warthog then :P?

[Bastinka]

If you have a high-res texture for it, then go for it!

[Advancebo]

Seriously? You're wasting time posting stuff like that, nobody is impressed with what's clearly a ~20 minute job. What, you want people to be going OOOH BOY BOX CHAMFER INSET EXTRUDE PLANAR MAP H3 SCREENSHOT GOOD JOB DUDE!1!!!1 http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-downsbravo.gif Yeah, I know that it's supposed to look like that, but is that really worth posting? At least make it look pretty if nothing else; give it a specular map or a cool material in 3ds or something...

The "texture" doesn't even look right (notice the lines running vertically down and how they break apart a few times), and there's no material definition on the metal at all.

On a side note, the material you have on the chief looks much, much better than the one you posted earlier. It could just be the lighting, but I do have to give you some credit for that.

[Advancebo]

lol, must be the skylight/advanced lighting thing :P

Actually, I just rendered it with the H3MC, and it removes the specular on it.

[DEElekgolo]

[Disaster]

eww no no no. The lines are way to defined. You don't ever see super black lines like that on objects. Theres not even any depth at all shown on the texture.

[Hunter]

Dude! I unwrapped that!

Oshi. Look who is taking some of his own medison.:rolleyes:

[Invader Veex]

That texture looks, besides the lines, washed out. (and just downright depressing) And the black around the lights need to go, unless it will be transparent when ingame.

[DEElekgolo]

Oshi. Look who is taking some of his own medison.:rolleyes:
What? I never stole credit for someone else unwrap.

[Advancebo]

wtf are you talking about, I re unwrapped it so I could practice.

It has alpha to take out the black.

[DEElekgolo]

Isnt that the unwrap that I did!? I remember you telling me to unwrap it so that it is symmetrical. And I also remember unwrapping the barrel just like that.

[Advancebo]

No, your unwrap was fuxed up, I couldnt really tell what parts were what. And yours didnt use as much space that I used.

[SnaFuBAR]

heh, post the unwrap you did, Dee.

[DEElekgolo]

Yea it did. AdvanceBo post the unwrap I did. I unwrapped the barrel just like that and you even said it was fine.

@snafu AdvanceBo has the unwrap that I did. I dont have it on this PC anymore.

Hey this was my first attempt at a skin ever, no ones first try was any good. I dont know how to give textures depth as much as I would.
I dont texture I model

[Advancebo]

That was before I had the confidence to unwrap it myself, since chains said he does not want to texture anything unwrapped by DEE. So I unwrapped it, gave it to chains, he still didnt want to texture it. So I had my unwrap which I just posted, and I deleted your max file you sent me because I did not need the unwrap on it.

Your unwrap had the mount all in 1 connected pile on the bottom half, and the cannon unwrapped "organically" on the top half.


Also I only went to CLS to texture it because I could not find anyone else who would want to texture it.

[DEElekgolo]

It wasnt all connected. I uv mapped that in headus. It doesnt do that at all. And it was not unwrapped organically. It was even grid snapped.

[teh lag]

Quit drama-ing guys.

Advance, please be more clear as to what process the stuff you post about has been through to avoid shit like this in the future.

If someone else did work on it but it wasn't used, at least make a mention of that so we don't have a page of mindless pooflinging. If it's someone's first skin, then let us know it's their first skin so we won't judge too harshly. If there's only certain parts you want us to pay attention to or certain things that you know are messed up, acknowledge them. Your presentation isn't helping other people. Had you said "hey guys, dee unwrapped this but I redid it," this wouldn't have happened. Let us know about all the stuff we should know about something before the topic gets derailed like this.

Also, could you do us all a favor and post more than just a textured clay-render of your work so we can tell what's actually going on? Like, maybe an untextured clay+wireframe (there's a tut on how to do that in the stickes) and the texture itself? It's not the easiest to tell what's going on with a model with all the fancy lighting going on.

[Roostervier]

The texture doesn't even look like metal to me. The material isn't consistent with that of metal. The colours are very bland and it looks like you didn't put all that much effort into it (although you may feel otherwise). You should have more covenant-esque designs and details put into the texture (be sure to include some curves, not everything is linear). Right now it's a few lines and some colour. Also, it usually looks pretty bad to make lines that thick and completely black. It's not always bad, but in this case it really is. Basically, just work on your metal. Use less dodge and burn tool, and give it some colour. Usually what I do is take a photo of some metal and increase the saturation so that I get some good blues, yellows, purples, reds, oranges, etc. and overlay it so that it's subtle. Also, give it some more general wear-and-tear; scratches, dust, dirt, grime, all that good stuff.

Animations

Enter Vehicle:

Exit Vehicle:
http://s218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/?action=view&current=aawraithexitvehicle.flv

[ThePlague]

With the exit animation just make it the same as the enter, because how you set it up is weird if you're getting out of the vehicle, and the gun is still going back into the wraith.

[Advancebo]

I know, its confusing.

When you are entering the vehicle, the gun folds out so you could use them.
When you are exiting the vehicle, the gun folds back into the vehicle to protect them.

Same way as a normal Wraith works.

[Hunter]

Because im such a tard, I plus repped you by mistake deehunter. :D So I ow you 2 -rep points. Haha. Fag.

[Bastinka]

Well thats very random hunter.. not even his thread.

Advance I say make the vehicle complete before you start animations, that way you don't go ahead of other things and forget them. Then again it's whatever works best for you, have at it then!

[Advancebo]

Well, I pretty much have all of the tags setup. The Wraith is already rigged and markers have been placed. Right now I am just working on animations and seeing if anyone else wants to give a go at texturing it.

[Chainsy]

I decided to just do a quick texture job on it today, as I was still at home sick and had nothing to do, yes I know it looks like crap as usual.

[DEElekgolo]

Looks good but it looks too much like its forerunner. The covi tech would have more useless lights and organic shapes on them. Also the scratches would not reveal a grey metal. The covi tend to stay with there unknown purple alloy.

[BobtheGreatII]

Needs some lights on it somewhere... Doesn't seem very covenant to me.

Edit: God Dee, stop copying me.

[Chainsy]

Ok, I will add lights.

[DEElekgolo]

Also I would post things like this in your thread and just credit advancebo for the model.

The large structure you see is from here:

Edited by me.

Still need to model the terrain and cliffs, wondering if someone could do them for me after I am done with the forerunner and structures :V?

[ThePlague]

Learn how to add more detail, everything is extremely boxy and boring. The map's overall design itself doesn't look like it will cater to game-play.

Next time don't show this yet, because it would only take me 30 or so minutes to make that.

[BobtheGreatII]

You don't need to post stuff in two threads...

Also, my opinion stands in your other thread.

Reticle
Reticule

FireFox goes with Reticule
Then either FF is wrong or America has also butchered the word reticle, because that's the way I've spelled it all my life and nothing has EVER highlighted it. FF isn't even highlighting it now.

Anyway, your stuff needs work. All I really see is pretty generic Halo 3 stuff and the standard low-poly Tommy gun (which I told you how to fix, it still looks absolutely nothing like it should). The transport Wraith harks back to the days of pre-PMI Halo PC modding, when we'd merge the gun on the Hog, Scorpion, or Wraith to a single vert and then call it a transport vehicle, after opening up MS Paint and whacking on liberal doses of incredibly gaudy colours. The reticles aren't tremendously impressive either, all I see is copy-paste work. Sorry, but if you want to get anywhere, you're going to have to branch out and start coming up with some more original ideas. Why not model an entire new Covenant vehicle or Human weapon instead of making yet another AR, like we don't have enough of them already? Why not actually see things through, rather than leave them in a half-arsed state like that Tommy?

I'm not that good at what I do, but at least I try to do things most people wouldn't. I modelled an M16A1, not an M4. I never modelled an AK. I modelled my own sci-fi sniper concept, and I also modelled a King Tiger tank. The only Halo models I've done since I quit HPC modding were a few for the Halo 2: Source team, and one or two hybrid rifles of my own invention. The point I'm trying to make is that no game dev is going to look twice at someone who can model the most bog-standard assault rifle, even if it's dead accurate to Halo 3's. They're going to look for people who can either take its design and use it to reinvent the weapon, or who can design something else entirely.

My Halo 3 Door

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/h3doorwire.png

I am working on making it into a device door for Halo CE. Since in Halo 3 The Storm, they have these doors sliding to open.

Heres my Reference taken by me:

I am starting on the door frame.

[DEElekgolo]

It actually looks pretty good.

[Newbkilla]

I agree. But to anyone who would contradict that the door doesn't need that much detail, Halo's bump mapping is only supported on the bsp.

[TeeKup]

Your polygon placement is a bit sloppy. D:

[Advancebo]

I swear I can only model when I am tired -_-
The last door I started modeling was at 10pm and ended at 2am
This door was modeled from 11pm-2am

[Terror(NO)More]

Sorry but, wtf 3 to 4 hours on a door....

[Heathen]

I agree. But to anyone who would contradict that the door doesn't need that much detail, Halo's bump mapping is only supported on the bsp.
They know.

Welcome.

Try not to try too hard :/

[Donut]

Sorry but, wtf 3 to 4 hours on a door....
i spend a ridiculous amount of time modeling even simple objects... that is if im not entirely sure what im about to model though

[SnaFuBAR]

This door was modeled from 11pm-2am
Apparently you can't model when you're tired. That should've taken 3-4 minutes.

[Advancebo]

I messed up a few times and had to start over.

[mech]

4 x 3 = 12 minutes.

[Joshflighter]

Since he is new, I would give him about 12 min for the entire thing and then take what mech said. 12x3=36

So that should have taken you 36 min. :o

[Advancebo]

Well the actual modeling of this door was 1 hour, but the planning and time consuming laziness makes up for the rest.

[Newbkilla]

They know.

Welcome.

Try not to try too hard :/

Yea, I've been lurking around for a while. Haven't really posted much :l But yea, keep it to the minimum about me.

Attachments are:
Silencer
Laser Pointer
Reflex Sight

[Corndogman]

Work on poly distribution, the sight has way more polies than it needs to compared to the rest of the model.

[SnaFuBAR]

Looks pretty whack. The PEQ-2 is attached with magic, and the reflex sight is sitting on top. your silencer is just a cylinder. There's more to it than that.

[Advancebo]

Magnets, lulz

So should I add rails or w/e thats called?
And should I take away some polys on the sight that make up the curve?

[Heathen]

Magnets, lulz
lol actually.

[SnaFuBAR]

Magnets, lulz

So should I add rails or w/e thats called?
And should I take away some polys on the sight that make up the curve?
Alright, if you're going to make it up like it's attached with magnets, you might as well make something that looks attached with magnets (though that'd come off pretty damn quick when you hit the dirt or fall into position, it's really stupid to say anything is attached with magnets), at least model something that you could pass off as being attached with magnets, instead of modeling something that EVERYONE knows is attached with a rail.

Model up a small rail (like the br is supposed to have on the carry handle, which you missed). You can look at russian side mounts or something to come up with something plausible.

No, don't take away polies on the sight that make up the curve. I don't know why people always say to do this or ask if they should. People don't ever seem to know anything about silhouette...

[Advancebo]

Ill see about the rails.

[TVTyrant]

Rails are for fags. Go for the AK style side mounts. Dont do it, their terrrrrrribbbbllleeeeeeeeeeeee

Yah, I havent modeled an SMG. I will though.
And I just realized I forgot the wires..., I guess that can go on after I model an SMG.

Fubar HUD, was moving everything to the top left anchor.

[Roostervier]

Looks alright. Your overlay for the hud is too apparent, though. I'd suggest making it more subtle.

Modeled a different screen:
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/specar5.png
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/specar6.png

Based off of Modern Warfare 2 (http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/cod6mw2_cliffhangar_weapondisplay.jpg)

Which screen looks better
This:
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/specar2.png
or this:
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc292/Advancebo/specar5.png

[Bastinka]

I'm still lost at the point which deciding to put a screen on a firearm would be a good idea. Second one looks more like the gun, although both look like they were made for camcorders. Why it's even there when theres a bloody red-dot sight right next to the thing, is beyond me.

[BobtheGreatII]

The second one.

Edit: But you should change it up a little. Make it so it looks like it belongs in halo and not modern warfare.

[Advancebo]

It was going to display the ammo counter/compass. And have the spinning radar from the warthog on there.

[Newbkilla]

The first one looks like a video camera display, the ones like this

http://www.image-acquire.com/Sony%20SR42E%20Video%20Camera.jpg

I would go with the first.

[BobtheGreatII]

Yeah, but the second display reminds me of those strong laptops.

[Newbkilla]

Lol.. Wow, I meant the first image, which was the other one, not the video camera. (He posted that image first).
