Ugly....


I would post more but I would have to look deeper in my models folder.

[MetKiller Joe]

My favorites are the airplanes. There are a lot of simple things in those renders (like what I am assuming is a cafe scene with Master Chief) that could be more complex which would greatly add to the detail of the piece.

Still there are many things with each of these models you could improve a lot on. This is all good practice work.

[killer9856]

Good stuff.

Please fix that bitch....

[DEElekgolo]

That map is fracture. Sadly, The lightmap UVs that halo CE generated for them screwed up the awesome lightmaps we were going to give it. So now it just has halo CE made lightmaps.

[Bad Waffle]

"screwed up the lightmaps"?
were you using aether to inject new lightmaps after running lightmaps in halo ce to generate uv's?

[DEElekgolo]

You have to use halo CE's generated Lightmaps always. Even when making the high res lightmaps. I got the lightmaps in fine. And most things looked perfect. But there were huge random streaks of black from the crappy UVs. I even tried making the background of the UV white and it turns out it was getting the black from the shadows of objects. It would be nice to have Custom UVs for the lightmaps to stop this limitation.
Also here is something to expect in halo CE as part of project relinquish.

http://i44.tinypic.com/sdiq9d.gif
Dont expect it to be as awesome when it in in Halo CE. Each and every few vertice is rigged to a bone. And this is only about a 30 world Unit quare. Ill find a way to optimise it for halo and still have a good amount of awesome.

[BobtheGreatII]

Water?

[killer9856]

Im pretty sure it is. Water like that in CE would be awesome.

[Chainsy]

What I would love to see that as is cloth, many people only pay attention to awesome models plus textures and forget visual things such as good steam, lightning and other things to create a specific mood, for example, imagine a abandoned military base with old wires hanging about and torn clothes with that applied silently blowing in the wind off those wires, do it correctly and you have a pretty eerie site.

[DEElekgolo]

Use the flag tag and make a bunch of unusable weapons.

[Bad Waffle]

Halo can only take 36 different nodes with 2 weights each, so plan wisely. If you get it ingame, i'd love to see.

In b4 dano.

[Disaster]

Your diffuse textures are really bland. Just seems like a few colors that were placed on a uvw. You need to add those details that will make the mesh stand out.

http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4678&page=1
This should help you out a bit.

[DEElekgolo]

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3716/throneet0.jpg

[Disaster]

Your materials just seem to blend together. That would be a problem with the model. You need to find a way to make the seat stand out above the metal because right now just looks like recolored metal.

[DEElekgolo]

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4248/thronezb9.jpg

[Chainsy]

Spice up the red part a bit, add creases to where it attaches to metal, maybe add buttons to show that it is comfy and actually is clothe padding.

[Delta4907]

Halo can only take 36 different nodes with 2 weights each, so plan wisely. If you get it ingame, i'd love to see.

Really? I swear I've been able to compile a model with 41 bones before.

[DaneO'Roo]

Urgh, your diffuse textures suck man. Stop slapping on one colour.

[DEElekgolo]

In after Dano.
Here is a little something I whipped up.

[Terror(NO)More]

I like plane most it looks best out of all, chair is hideous, and that helmet idk?

[Malloy]

FFS. Indents in visor ftl.

the previous one was better.

should be called the Pikiman Helm

[Timo]

Hunter, do you ever spend more than a few days on any project?

[Hunter]

Eh. You got me dead confused then Timo, you can't call him Hunter, I am Hunter :) He is Dee or Deehunter, stealing my name :(

[Advancebo]

We call him DEElekgolo now.

[Heathen]

I am Dee Hunter and you are Dee prey :haw:

Anyways...
That helmet belongs in Walle, not halo.

[killer9856]

Some nice poly workflow there. Your going to add more detail right?

[DEElekgolo]

Ill be texturing later. I worked all day on that today. Need a good break. Also when I was making that. I was using this dvd (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/ijo01.html). I scimmed across it and noted the important stuff. And then started modeling on my own. The secret to the beautiful topology and poly flow is polyboost (http://www.polyboost.com/).

[Apoc4lypse]

heh the helmet that nobody liked I thought was pretty cool after you added the lights to it and it did remind me of pikman haha doesnt mean its not cool looking.

You need to remember alot of people here really often don't know what they're talking about (not talking about any one in particular), or will only give you praise when they see stuff they like, and what people like on this forum isn't exactly what everyone else might like too.

Basically if it doesnt look haloish... expect to recieve more criticism.

Also the soldier with the vest is win, altho where it goes from vest to skin im assuming might need more definition, im not sure though.

[DEElekgolo]

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4408/comp1hn0.gif

is that supposed to be some sort of optical illusion?

Haha, you can see it both ways.

I think he is showing how the particle animation looks? :o

Flood calcium deposit.

[Chainsy]

That skin is boring, and it will not look any good in halo, give it more veins and slime and overall texture.

[Roostervier]

Add more detail to your sculpt. At the moment it's not right to call it one.

[SnaFuBAR]

your sculpts are severely lacking depth.

[PenGuin1362]

if this is halo 1 it don't need a high poly unless you plan on making that bsp...

[DEElekgolo]

I make normal maps for all my assets. I dont plan on sticking with halo 1 forever.

[SnaFuBAR]

I don't know why you're bothering with making normal maps and sculpting in zbrush or mudbox or whatever. You're wasting your time. Your high res meshes are terrible. Everything you've done in zbrush/mudbox has amounted to surface scratching.

[Bodzilla]

Actually. It is spinning in only 1 way.
not to the eye.

you ever seen that dancing ballerna silloutte. if you picture the particles at the base of the star in front of the star then it appears to move clock wise.

if you picture it behind it appears to move Anti-clockwise.
it was anti-clockwise first time i saw it, and now all i see is clockwise.
Coo.


Yeah, and the depth kinda kills any possibility of the contrary.
What do you use to gauge the depth of something?
the fact that things further away look smaller?

the dots that give it "depth" have no discernible difference in size, therefore they dont give it depth, but merely a 3d plane :eng101:

[Advancebo]

It looks like you added that window glass filter, and erased a couple of lines.

[DEElekgolo]

What?

[Geo]

You should also either give us a wireframe, or tell us how many tris or polies are in the low poly model if you want to do this properly.

[DEElekgolo]

I supplied wireframe. Polycount is 1,152 polies 578 verts.

What do you use to gauge the depth of something?

For one, there appears to be a slight angle to the render. It's clear that it is rotating around from right to the front to the left. Also, the particles in front kill it. And yes, I do see depth, and I'll only accept that I'm crazy if DEEHunter says it's an orthoraphic projection.

[DEElekgolo]

Its not orthographic.

It's been given to him in the past, obviously he didn't take it into consideration the first time.

Yeh I guess so, sorta makes Masterz post not worth being there then.

Just let Dee get upto his own devices and enjoy the 'luls'

[Masterz1337]

I'm trying to help him, if he would go back and read what more experienced people have said, the sky would probably be amazing.

[DEElekgolo]

Go back and read that more experienced people said? I just posted it an advancebo said that it looks like its from sandbox. Then we just moved on to the flood calcium deposit I made. There was no crit made to that in the past. That sky was originally for a ambient cubemap pack I was planning on making.

Then why did you specifically say it was a sky for a map, and not a cubemap wip?

I didnt say that, did i?

[Corndogman]

PS: tri count matters, not poly count, hth

You'll notice looking at the image, that everything is in quads. So if you really wanna know how many tri's there are, I would think you could figure it out for yourself.

Also, Masterz: He only said that it was a preview of the sky, he never said it was the actual bitmap he was using for the sky. It could very well be just a screen shot of a section of it, or a piece of the cubemap or something.

[DEElekgolo]

It was a preview render for presentation.

[SnaFuBAR]

If there are stray verts, it will make your assumption inaccurate. Use your head.

No offense to advancebo, and not to toot my own horn, but he's not nearly as experienced as people like me and Choking Victim. It doesn't matter what your sky looks like, it matters if you're doing it right. You're skies are so crude, and goes against the established norm.

The picture that I supplied was a preview. There was a reason why I posted it here for crit. But there is no reason for you to say a "I am more experienced then you" comment. That sky was thrown away once I found no map it would look good in.

[SnaFuBAR]

That unwrap is pretty terrible dude. As with all your others, you are not utilizing your space right.

[DEElekgolo]

How is that? I took the FP camera into consideration. Making objects that show up more in FP and FP animations have more detail. Also the way disaster textures the guns requires some good space for edge bleeding.

[SnaFuBAR]

Look at your very small items. Don't you think you would do much better my moving them elsewhere, making them larger, and, by moving them elsewhere, you'd give other parts more space for edge bleeding?

You need to think out your space usage more. It's better than some of your earlier ones, those were pretty much garbage, but this one still isn't good.

[Hunter]

Please stop telling us that you made the pats you see more larger. Pesonally I dont care, I would like all the parts equal size so the whole weapon can be detailed.

[Choking Victim]

That unwrap is pretty terrible dude. As with all your others, you are not utilizing your space right.
I believe he uses some sort of an automatic unwrapper in all his uv's (http://www.unwrella.com/howto/) as opposed to unwrapping them manually. That's what I heard at least.

"Phew. My hands are tired after this. Battle rifle unwrap. Took a while to do this." - DEEhunter on halomaps

must've been pretty tiring clicking that unwrap button there.

If you're not using a program, then w/e it's not like I care. I'm just going by past claims from your "friends".

Im sure you were talking to disaster since he was the only one I told about unwrella recently. No I did not use that and I showed disaster about the tool when he linked me to the Packer that they had.

I'm saying that it does not require crit anymore because its old and is unused now. I respect the crit your giving it but you came up a little late for it.

[Choking Victim]

Im sure you were talking to disaster since he was the only one I told about unwrella recently.
Actually, no, I just typed in "3ds max automatic unwrapper" into google and that's the first thing that came up. It's sheer luck that that's the one you use tbh.

[DEElekgolo]

It's sheer luck that that's the one you use tbh.
I don't use any automatic unwrapper.

[Choking Victim]

Im sure you were talking to disaster since he was the only one I told about unwrella recently.
That's not the message you portrayed.

[DEElekgolo]

I was telling disaster that I was getting private beta's for the UV packer (http://packer.3d-plugin.com/) since one of the coders was at facepunch and invited me to it. After he showed me that I told him about unwrella. There was no beta for it was me and diaster were surprised at the results but he was disappointed about the poly limit for the trial because HE wanted to use it. When I told him about it I was telling him that unwrella uses the same packing engine as the one he showed me. I never used it and I never will use any automatic unwrapping tool.

[Heathen]

Lol, :fail:

You use something to make skies, particle things, and unwrap?
Bhaha.

[DEElekgolo]

I use a Vue for skies and Headus for unwrapping. I do particles in 3ds max.

wut?

[DEElekgolo]

Headus isnt an automatic unwrapper.

[Disaster]

Headus isn't automatic unwrapping. It has more tools than 3ds max to unwrap. You still have to unwrap it by setting up seams and packing. It doesn't do it automatically.

[Choking Victim]

Ah, was trying to look into what exactly it was.

Edit: found it, Headus UVlayout.

[Hunter]

UVLayout, developed by headus, is a stand-alone application for the creation and editing of UV coordinates for 3D polymeshes and subdivision surfaces. Used by professionals in the games and visual effects industries, by hobbyists of all ilks and by students, UVLayout's unique approach gives texture artists the tools to produce high quality low distortion UVs in significantly less time than they would by traditional methods.

More info (http://www.uvlayout.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=38)

I dont think it is automatic. (In Dees defence)

I asked for crit back then but no one bothered so I moved on. I had different projects going on back then because I had to crunch work in before finals. Then nearly 15 days later you gave it crit.

He was referring to when he told you before.

[Corndogman]

If there are stray verts, it will make your assumption inaccurate. Use your head.

I'm just saying, everything appears to be in quads, so one can assume that its an accurate estimation. Even if there are a few stray verts, it will at least be close, but not exact. You know what I meant, so stop trying to be right all the time.

Gonna be honest, that doesn't look very forerunner to me. Of course, every forerunner map I've made has wound up in my "random crap" scenes in my 3ds max folders.

Decent material, but from a modelling standpoint that's extremely basic.

[Hunter]

Dee doesnt model, he focuses on pretty renders.

[DEElekgolo]

Dee doesnt model, he focuses on pretty renders.
Hunter doesnt model. He makes things with horrible topology.

I was originally trying to make a bubble shield. The actual object is very low poly. But then I tried using the height map as the displacement map and had some good results. But I ended up using it in unreal to have some fun with physics.

[Chainsy]

That was uncalled for, you don't model, all you do is show pretty renders, he even complimented the renders of being pretty. Hunter can model fine.

[Heathen]

Wait, what, he was making fun of me?
Yes, he was making pictures with very little effort and terrible perspective.
Pictures that he has to explain to be understood what the subject matter is.

[Roostervier]

The texture noticeably tiles and there's the matter of the random pentagons. And the lowered part that should be black under the red hexagons is red. Lazy recolouring.

Random pentagons? You cannot have a hexagon sphere without pentagons in it. Also the extrusion of the shapes isnt really supposed to be, so the skin wasnt made for it. I tried using the heightmap made in znormal as a displacement map and it made it look like that. Here is how it was originally supposed to look with normal maps.

Didn't know that. What I do know is that you completely ignored the rest of my post.

[Hunter]

Wtf you stupid prick. I was fucking suporting you by saying that the image wasnt meant to be a good model, but a good render. And why dont you write topology on a peice of paper and choke to death on it, Im sick of seeing the fucking word.

[CSFLOYD]

[kid908]

that looks alot like the real deal (as real as the deal gets anyways). still think the scratches(or that's what it seems to me) look like motion blur.

[Corndogman]

I'm pretty sure that's because its not scratches, its just brushed metal. That's why it looks like motion blur, because that's the most common way of doing brushed metal in photoshop. (afaik)

If thats in CE, lightmaps. If its a render, the materials, lighting, and water.

Too shiny, especially since sand has been being blown onto it for years and years.

For a second it reminded me of that skyscraper course in Mario Kart 64's battle mode, lol.

i like the lighting on the metal parts.
i agree with ODX on his criticism on the boulder and sand. could be a little duller and more believable.

[Malloy]

I cannot see alot of the 'b' so it looks kinda shitty. maybe have another light source on it.

[Corndogman]

I'd say rotate the camera a bit to the right, so that the V is less bright and the B is brighter. And yes, another light source would be good. Especially on the V, since it is purely orange, and the other letters have different shades.

[klange]

idk, the Marmoset one actually looks like a large stone weight thing... Xoliul's shader is too gray.

[FluffyDucky™]

I like the Marmoset one better, cept it looks a bit bluey.

[Heathen]

Marmoset ftw.

[MetKiller Joe]

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5017/which.png

The viewport shader is doing something weird to the specular and lighting it incorrectly (it looks like obsidian that's been smoothed in a riverbed).

The Marmoset Engine is rendering it like concrete.

If concrete is what you were going for, I'd go with the Marmoset. If you were going for the polished obsidian look, I'd go with the viewport shader.

[Corndogman]

Do a mix of the two. The viewport one is the right color on the outside, but has too much specular, and the inside needs to look different than the outside. make the inside look more like the concrete you have in marmoset.

[DEElekgolo]

what happened to artistic license?

[Newbkilla]

How the hell would that even work? Doesn't even have a trigger. Your model is missing quite a few details that were in the concept. As for the concept itself, tell chains it looks un-finished, it has that look to it.

Neither does a covenant carbine, plasma pistol, or plasma rifle. :realsmug:

[Newbkilla]

Yes, but he's sub-dividing AKA High poly model, and a high poly model usually has everything modeled into it.

[ICEE]

the design doesn't seem too bad to me, maybe missing SOMEthing. The model looks terrible though. It seems pretty obvious to me that based on the curvey nature of the rest of the gun in the concept, the side that wasn't shown is clearly going to share those curves.

[BobtheGreatII]

I think anyone who's trying to take that model seriously is just silly. : /
