Making this at the moment, just a quick side project to get back into a modelling mood:

Concept by Deathelmm

Extremly tempted to make these in the future:

Were do you find these?!

that weapon next to the BR is fugly. dont waste your efforts.

May I suggest you just start work on the elite biped instead.

Hunter

January 6th, 2009, 01:10 PM

I am not good enough for the elites yet.

Pooky

January 6th, 2009, 01:17 PM

I think it would look better like this

But that's just me. I don't really know that much about guns.

Hunter

January 6th, 2009, 01:27 PM

I am going to give the helmet a try on here:

Not really a big deal, but is it supposed to say USMC on the side of that gun? Perhaps you meant UNSC?

Hunter

January 6th, 2009, 01:41 PM

Not my design, none of these are.

Corndogman

January 6th, 2009, 02:38 PM

USMC is the United States Marine Corps. Might of been intentional or they just mixed it up with UNSC.

Hunter

January 6th, 2009, 03:50 PM

Eh.. Fuck it, I suck, I have only just started the helmt and it looks like a peice of shit... liturly.

Roostervier

January 6th, 2009, 04:18 PM

The new BR design doesn't make sense. The back of the original BR was the receiver. Now he's got the receiver in the front... but he kept the one in the back as well. I suppose it's not a big deal, but that and the things pooky pointed out really bother me.

I like it.

If you are going to try to do the fugly looking BR keep it as a bullpup. The second rail/carrying handle looks pretty much useless, so axe that and extend the original carrying handle to the end of the gun. Make sure to keep the scope.

Hunter

January 6th, 2009, 05:40 PM

Ive dropped the other BR, i tryed that elite but I can't do it. I suck X(

Is that a Grenade Launcher?
And I agree with Pooky about where layout of the gun

Hey, I think I saw someone model that a couple years ago on halomaps.org. Go for it, might be cool to see a more recent realization of an old concept.

Hunter

January 7th, 2009, 02:59 PM

Nah, I can't be arsed with the battle rifle yet. Snaf, WoL, BobtheGreat, would one of you please help me. I want to model that elite, but I don't know how going about it, I tryed and failed. Could one of you model the helmet please? Just so I can see how you built it up.

What you mean, I know its shit but it'll get sorted eventually. It's a W.I.P.

As nice as those concepts are, I'm getting quite sick of seeing more and more Halo-related models. It seems that most people here are more imitative than imaginative.

You should know better than me this was "H2V", a Halo forum back then. We just need time ^^

Actually I realised this a few days ago. I got pissed of with seeing Halo 3 stuff. Althought that Elite is amazing and would LOVE a model of it I supose it can wait.

I am starting a VERY detailed AK-47. If I make that I can sell it and get some money. Probably on TurboSquid, although I doubt anyone would buy. Worth a try.

And I want an AK :)

Well this is a forum for halo fans who like to do halo modding.

While that's true and I agree with this, it would still be nice to see a few less BR models and more... oh I don't know, Needlers.

Hunter

I noticed that people always make the simple models as well. I have NEVER seen someone even attempt a Banshee.. not even a remake of the Halo 1 Banshee. I might make one soon, a Halo 3 Bnshee.

After I have made something other than Halo content.

Banshee is quite possibly the easiest vehicle to model out of all the halo vehicles, plus it's a shitty design. :eyesroll:

Im with you on that Reaper Man, even though I may not participate in the modeling challenges I think there needs to be more of them, for instance speed modeling, Monthly, Weekly and Daily challenges. Full loaded challenges where you, model, Unwrap and texture. This would surly help us get off the Halo stuff.

*Ahem* http://www.game-artist.net/forums/challenges/

Also Hunter, you should sell some of your Halo 3 models on turbosquid, or at least try.

Hunter

Can't. Copyrighted designs by Bungie/Microshizen.

Chainsy

January 8th, 2009, 03:51 PM

Hunter go ask nugget if you can borrow his h3mt elite model to see how he built it up, it really helped me when studying biped modeling.

NuggetWarmer

January 8th, 2009, 05:03 PM

Oh god why would you want that crap? I desperately need to remodel it. It's full of grossness. D:

Advancebo

January 8th, 2009, 05:16 PM

There are 2 biped modeling methods I would use:

Box modeling, you pretty much start off with a box, extrude the body parts, then add in details.

Plane modeling, you know what it does.

Heres a few videos that may help.

This is a video of the creator making his spartan:

that was then used in this video to render:

Fuck that, just picked up my Halo 3 Art book and there is an amazing battle rifle in there. I will scan it up and show you.

Check out that beast.

Advancebo

January 8th, 2009, 05:52 PM

Not that much difference from a regular BR. Its just larger, and uglier :\.

How is that attachment on the barrel is supposed to even work? I would think it would weigh down the barrel, moving it slightly, causing it to be inaccurate

Hunter

January 8th, 2009, 05:55 PM

Iron sight and Laser Sight.

Uglier? it looks awesome. A lot nicer than the Halo 3 one. Halo 3 one is plain and boring.

ICEE

January 8th, 2009, 06:00 PM

I wonder what they were thinking when they stuck rails under carry handle? and an iron sight beneath the scope? I'm not a gun expert but it seems full of design flaws.

CtrlAltDestroy

January 8th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Maybe because the carry handle is mounted on the rails...? just speculating here

Does that answer your question malloy

Ha ha, weird... I know I gave it a shot... wayyyyyy back when on halomaps.

Hunter

January 9th, 2009, 04:10 AM

I might give the BR a shot. Don't know when ment to be making AK-47 but I cba...

Malloy

ha yes it does, sorry im a subconsious 'pics or gtfo' guy so i sort of skim read posts unless with an image :\

nick3d

January 9th, 2009, 05:52 AM

I sometimes do that, i have to be interested in thread before i start reading it lol, or if the pictures are good, i read up to see if anyone has said the same thing as me

Hunter

January 9th, 2009, 06:49 AM

Same here, are you at college nick? Im in BTEC shit atm. I need some more tutorials before I model this. It has pissed me of that I couldnt model that elite helmet, i feel like I am shit... back a noob again.

Malloy

January 9th, 2009, 10:22 AM

well i suppose guns (your specialty) do have uniform angles to follow aswell as well known and blueprinted details. So a sci-fi concept with curves and stuff is out of your current practise so attempting it would be good for you man.

plus you know the tools... dont feel like a noob, just approach the model differently

nick3d

January 9th, 2009, 01:47 PM

yes i was in college, and like i was saying earlier you need to get used to more than just flat plane modeling like guns, and yeah you said youve done models which need more time (like a car or helmet, but seriously, you are awesome at guns, and like malloy said everyone has there speciality, and yours is guns, mine is more on cars, but i never get round to finishing them cause i get bored lol
