[Gallery] Terminal

[paladin]

Some of you may have seen this floating around. I think I posted about it about a year ago.

Anyway, about 2 years ago I started to remake Terminal for HCE, but never got around to finishing it. I got it in-game, but just the rough geometry. About a year ago, I started working on it and finished the level geometry and started to texture it fully. This is what I turned it into...

Now, I am going back and remaking all the textures to a higher resolution, adding all the necessary maps to each shader, and adding geometry.

I figure, I might as well post and update it here to get some criticism and help along the way.

Model: Paladin
Textures: Bungie, Paladin, Scooby
Train: Scooby


~Lag Edit : just use [shot] tags plz.


UPDATE 2/26:

Been working on the lighting, heres what I have so far. I have switched over to VRAY, so this is using mental ray.

Terminal was my favorite H2 map. Well done.

[teh lag]

Looking amazing. The texturing certainly could use a step up (though that's what you're going to be doing), but the modeling seems tight as can be.

Also, the last two images (the ones not hosted on Imageshack) won't load for me.

Also, de-spoiler'd and shot'd.

[paladin]

shot tags dont work for me for some reason...

but thanks

[Advancebo]

Custom model? nice :D

[paladin]

Yes, over 100 hours of work

[Con]

That model looks spot on, excellent job. +repz

[DEElekgolo]

I love it. But how will you get the train to work?

[Evil_Monkey]

That looks really good. Well done!

[Bad Waffle]

If you ask me, you dont need to work on the TEXTURES, but the ingame shaders. Those are where its all at.

[paladin]

It wont be put ingame

[ThePlague]

Really great job.

[mech]

What won't?
For a suggestion on how to make the train work, can't you make an animated scenery tag, with damage parts on it so when it hits you you die?

He just said he's not putting it ingame.

[ThePlague]

Then I retract my previous statement.

[Advancebo]

You can still apply materials to it, which are like shaders.

[TVTyrant]

Looks really good. Now where's that .gif of Masterz...

[paladin]

huh?

[ultama121]

Pretty sure he's referring to the Gif of some other Terminal by Zteam. It shows Masterz getting his ass blasted by the Terminal Train. Lul.

[ThePlague]

I spy a sexy Wraith

[paladin]

Actually, its halo 1s. If anyone is willing to share some models with me. They wont leave the scene. Like I said, this is for rendering purposes only.

A List of possible models:
Wraith
Warthog
Ghost
Gauss Warthog
Civilian Cars
Objects, (creates, signs, ect)
ect

If you want to supply me with any, Id be nice. It'll be a little less work for me and Ill credit you with what ever you give me.

working on the ground maps.

still working on the lighting. This is mental ray. I still am having trouble installing Vray.

[ThePlague]

I'm liking it.

[Advancebo]

I think you can use one of the materials to put together different details like the ground map in shaders.

[paladin]

yeah, I am in the process of making a few.

[Pooky]

It wont be put ingame
:gonk:

FUCK YOU WHY NOT

[paladin]

[Advancebo]

The tree trunks could use some more details.

Hurr.

[paladin]

After playing the alpha version this morning, the one I put in game like a year ago, i think I might put this in game. Though I am worried that Halo's engine will ruin its detail. Also, i have lost most of my knowledge of the game so if I do, i will need a slave assistant.

Also, I still would like models to add to the scene, rendering only I'll add. It would be nice to have some better looking vehicles and possibly some weapons.

[Malloy]

Sounds awsome,

may I ask what happened to 'Compound' ?

[paladin]

ITs backlogged...
