[COMPETITION] Texture the Hornet!

[klange]

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/hornet_8-1.jpg


This is a great model... accurate, not too high poly, nicely smoothed... but wait... it's missing something!

A texture!

So here are the rules:

- Best texture (judged by how it looks on the model, how close it is to the Halo 3 texture, etc) wins.
- 1024x1024, please.
- No ripping. Automatic DQ.
- No screencapping. Automatic DQ.
- Bonus points for proper multipurpose and detail maps!

Final Submissions are due whenever the hell you feel like, which will probably be a Wednesday.

We're currently looking at possible prizes, but wanted to get it out there as soon as possible to get people started. Right now, I'm going to guarantee ONI Black Ops in Cerebrum to the winner, but we may include a cash prize as well.

Footnotes: The Hornet your are texturing was modeled by Hunter, who will have it unwrapped in a day or two. If you can start working without an unwrap (details and what not), feel free. The Hornet will be loosely animated and tagged for use in Remnant.

Is this actually a competition, or is it just you need/want the Hornet textured, so your whoring us out to do it? Also whats ONI black ops?

[Joshflighter]

They need/want. :)

Of course it's a competition! Best texture wins, and there's a prize tbd.

ONI Black Ops is a rank the Cerebrum-Synapse devs who suck at Halo and couldn't earn a real rank want to stand out as being C-S developers get and which we hold as a carrot for whoring out work community help. Consider it our Recon.

So what kind of time frame we talking about? Comps usually last 2 weeks or a month.

Hmm, I just read the other thread...

I might give this competition a go, just to see what I can produce.

[Hunter]

Well, I have started to unwrap. This look okay to you?

Positions are not final. And you will get the model of corse. So you can see what is what.

No, D:
Use the stitch tool.

[Disaster]

You already unwrapped it as well. I started texturing it about 3 months ago for h3mt but stopped because its a boring texture to make :saddowns:. I personally would use dee's unwrap because its very easy to understand/see the islands.

I may finish my texture depending on how I feel because I've been feeling terrible all week. Haven't gotten much sleep. :ugh:

I'll do it if I can get a neat prize though :downs:

I completely forgot about that unwrap!

[Hunter]

Well could Bacon use it for this Dee? Because then I can concentrate on getting this turret lower poly for Penguin.

[DEElekgolo]

I don't think I have it anymore. If you can find it then you can use it.

[Newbkilla]

Well, could we see a link to the unwrap if someone finds it?

[Hunter]

I will post it here once I get hold of Disaster.

[Disaster]

I have it. Let me upload it so it can be used.

[Newbkilla]

Is there any specific texture size? Max 1024 by 1024?

[Hunter]

Add to first post Bacon. Cheers Disaster. Texture size it to be 1024 x 1024 please.

[Disaster]

I made uvw size 2048, just scale it down. I always texture at a higher resolution though.

[Newbkilla]

Okay cool, I might give this a shot.

[Corndogman]

Snip* Link was here<

...did you just rar a picture and put it on a file download site?

lol ps. you could just post the picture and people can save it.

[Advancebo]

Wouldnt explain the 2842 KB

[Hunter]

Rar contains model (3ds .max ect) and textures.

[Corndogman]

I jumped to conclusions sorry :saddowns:

[Advancebo]

[Newbkilla]

Lmao, nice one advanced.

[Disaster]

:raise:

[Joshflighter]

H3MT still is around? Lol.. it died after me and a few others stopped caring about it. Owai, we were the only ones doing anything on that team anyway. :\

no its still alive

You said you were including it in your map.. how exactly do you plan to get this thing to work?

[klange]

I've done quite a bit of tagging and no how to make a vehicle like this? Heck, the Hornet could be done without even animating it, but that wouldn't look as good...

[Masterz1337]

Well if you can make it function properly you're my new god. No one on CMT or Zteam has been able to come up with how to make it work properly.

[Advancebo]

maybe animations and functions. Like at the top of the animation tag, theres that function stuff. Then have 2 slots, 1 for an animation going down, the other for going up. And in the functions in the vehicle tag, make it to go with Hover or Thrust or whatever that works for it.

[Limited]

Can someone upload the files to someplace that isnt HaloMaps? I cant download files there, and yes I have allowed the exceptions but it still doesnt work.

[Hunter]

Are you on AIM? because I can send it to you. It shouldnt' even be on halomaps...

[Limited]

Maybe ;) I added you but it says refused by client :O

[Hunter]

:S I didnt refuse anyone.

[Limited]

The aim in your profile is wrong then :D

[Hunter]

Anyone having a go at this? If not I am going to need to go outside of this community to find someone...

[Joshflighter]

I thought it was a "COMPETITION". Now its a need to have it "done"?

[klange]

Well, we need participants for it to be a competition, and in general, yes, we'd like to have at least one person try to get it done.

Submissions are due in a week.

[Scooby Doo]

i'll do it if you comply with my requests:

extend the deadline because i just now saw this thread. and allow me to have the tags when you do get it ingame.

if you'll do that i'll have it textured after i rework the unwrap. it's not a bad unwrap, but i prefer editing it to my liking. just lemme know through PM or visitor msg plz.

[klange]

Deadline extended to "whenever the hell you feel like it". :3

[Hunter]

Yey Scooby.
