[Bastinka]

and what's helix canyon's "direction"?

2 oposing bases, in a boxed in area, with 2 areas you can walk/drive up and a cave in between, that you can fall into but not come out of except for the middle where 1 side path goes down into a cave and where the other side path goes up to a wall with a clear view of both bases.

I see something with path's to walk on on the sides, but I don't see how 1 could go up and the other down in a structure like that.

Wasn't the map just a giant figure 8?

I'd rep you Ross for that Nebelwerfer but I already repped you recently :X

[LlamaMaster]

Those portals are to simple, can't you make it look more portal-ish? (not where you can see out the other side, but like a teleporter of something)

[Patrickssj6]

They blink...like the beacons...

If you can suggest something better go ahead...but there are problems with the Halo engine regarding scenery and this portal application.

[Con]

I don't really like the blinking portals.

[Archon23]

Okay well, can't say much seeing as its kinda early in the works. Though one major issue I see is that there are jagged outlines. That really doesn't mix well with the smooth visor outline and shading. The only solution I can think of is go around the outline with a line of the same color with AA on, but that method is probably wrong and will be disproved very shortly :v

The problem is you have to create something that can be viewed from a 360 degree angle...and not to be very complex since when you start moving scenery in memory Halo tends to do nasty stuff :eyesroll:

[Con]

It's just the blinking I don't like. Maybe change the sprite from a little glowing ball to a little spiral-like design, like a mini galaxy or something.

[Bad Waffle]

did you do those without watching the movie? because the bald man is pretty damn close to how he's portrayed in the movie.

[Agamemnon]

I actually followed Orwell's description of Big Brother, which was something of a cross from Stalin and Hitler. The person I ended up using was Joseph Kucan who plays Kane from Command & Conquer, seeing as how that's what they were trying to portray with Kane's character as well. I figured it was fitting.

[Bad Waffle]

Yeah, it indeed does fit. I was wondering why he seemed so familiar!

[Agamemnon]

Yeah, it was my English teacher's favorite book. When I brought in the "Big Brother is watching you," she ended up lamenting it and putting it up on the wall where all the desks face. When I visited a few of my teachers a few months back, it was still there, and she said it freaked the kids out.

What's the polycount tweek?

[Pooky]

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8503/walltexturethingfm8.jpg

I was bored, and wanted to break away from doing forerunner shit. I don't what it is exactly :/

Looks pretty Forerunner to me, just a different style of forerunner. Maybe, by the time the master chief finds Halo, all the paint had decayed off the structures, and that's what a forerunner door would look like with color :O

[Tweek]

that's so not forerunner :|

[Pooky]

There are thousands of different styles used on Earth. If you think the forerunner can only have one, you're an idiot.

[Tweek]

wow, cranky much?

theres certain things that define forerunner-style

this has none of those.
hell, even the guy who MADE it sais it's not forerunner.
it may "look" forerunner to your eye, but that's the subjectiivity of it.

gg at calling me an idiot btw. i'd like to know why you seem to think that im an idiot.
handwritten.
in threefold.

[Pooky]

but that's the subjectiivity of it.

It's just an image, EVERYTHING is subjective about it, it IS subjective. To me it looks Forerunner, to you it might not, but you can't say I'm wrong.. by your OWN terms. And I didn't call you an idiot, I gave criteria for being an idiot. l2r

[Bad Waffle]

Danos texture actually reminds me of marathon. Woop woop!

[Mass]

I think it doesn't look forerunner, but he's right, there are 5 other rings and likely 5 other styles, although I doubt that would fit in to any.

[Rob Oplawar]

Hey Dane, if you're bored you could perhaps do some human style textures. :innocent:

And @Tweek, it being a remake of an old map I wasn't gonna say anything but eh what the heck,
That modeling is awesome, it's too bad the layout sucks. It doesn't do you justice.

[DaneO'Roo]

What's the polycount tweek?

What beer and chips like on the bandwagon?

Also, at the silly people thinking stuff is forerunner:

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/8135/pillarwallln7.jpg

yeah, I didn't design it to be forerunner at all, tbh. The texture also isn't official. What I concepted is actually a physical pillar joined to a wall, that arks itself off away from the wall then joins back up at the top.

Looking at my concept again, looks like I missed stuff from the texture :downs:

[Roostervier]

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9819/humangratesbakedgk0.jpg

So I decided to try a different style of texture. Some part of the bump isn't how I like, and I'm going to edit it. Anyway, this is just the height map with a baked bump. Not at all finished.

e: Here it is with a diffuse.

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/107/humangratesbakedxi8.jpg

e(2): Also, still wip. =p

[rossmum]

Looks pretty good. What are you going to use it for?

[Roostervier]

I guess for something human, not really sure. It looks nothing like what I was basing it off of. :X

Silentwind and (teh) laggy both commented that it was too plain, so it's still WIP. I'll probably make a rusted version of it (as well).

Also, if it is used anywhere, it will be a map for UT3 (I'm using it for its engine... I'm going to make two or so bipeds for it and vehicles and weapons too, that way I will pretty much have a full fledged mod. I've gotta learn all this stuff sometime. =p).

Modeled this ump45 over the weekend and past few days, it has a total of 6149 triangles. I couldn't find pictures from all the views so I used other models as reference for things I couldn't see.

[PlasbianX]

Whatever it is, it looks awesome. Tee Shirt eh? Are you ordering it online?

Why order it online when i can simply make it myself? I hand cut the stencil, and then I silk screen the image onto the shirt using a stencil. And the point of the shirt is sorta like.. tribal phoenix :p

I have a shirt i made of my halo 3 emblem (flame skull) and a Master Chief "Finish the fight" shirt with "... then start a new one" On the back


EDIT: To explain the process, id have 2 sheets of this orange film. Its 2 layers, 1 clear plastic, one a layer that reacts to water and sorta "melts". Since its 2 colors, id cut out the bottom half of the black on 1 sheet, and put it over a mesh. Then i put water over the mesh, and the orange would glue itself to the mesh. Then i pull off the clear backing. I then tape off where i dont want ink, and i use a squeegee to press ink through the mesh onto the shirt, and peel off the mesh. Then i simply heat the shirt under pressure (its heated while being pressed down ;p) for like 15 mins. Then id do the same thing with a new piece of mesh and line up where i want my image... and then repeat. I learned how to do this in a graphics art class, so now when i have some time i take and make some custom tshirts the way i like em.

adumass: Looks pretty decent. over 6000 tris for that is what keeps it from being better then decent. Also, get some better renders. It's really hard to see much, your not even zoomed in to fill the whole screen with the model. Go and find WOL's or my rendering tutorials, or both. And have a look at some renders done by myself and other senior 3d modellers here, you'll see some better angles to use. Also, that reflex sight or scope or whatever its supposed to be, as well as the vert grip and flashlight isn't properly attached to the rail. You should go look at some pictures to see how a rail works. If you work on it some more I'm sure you could come up with a nice model.

Looks good anyhow, however some parts are lacking in detail in comparison to other parts on the weapon.

[adumass]

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8415/umpwireframebg3.jpg

The scope is almost 1000 polygons and it still has some parts with useless polys that I haven't cleaned yet. If I take out the scope its 4300 triangles.

[rossmum]

Looks good, inset on front of mag well is a total waste though. You're not likely to see it so you may as well leave it out or just normal it on.

[Leiukemia]

You should try doing a hard wireframe. It's easier to see stuff, and you might as well have it as an editable poly rather then triangulated as a patch. Some bigger renders would be good too. To do a hard wireframe like the below picture: copy your model, put a wireframe texture on the copied version. Go into modifiers and select push, and set it to about .03 or so, enough to show up in the render. Also, make sure the wire is black so it's clearly visible. And you could also try mixing up the background colour, make it complement the colour of the lights shining on your model. You can try mixing up the sizes, don't use a preset. Make it about 1000 pixels wide, and then compensate on however high the hight needs to be according to a render. You're still not understanding a good render angle. Here's some examples of what I mean (and no I'm not whoring my models I'm trying to show him how to do it properly):

On the last picture, a smoothing error or loads of non-planar faces are showing up on the silenced barrel portion of your gun (and it looks to be more likely the latter).

Might be mega-shitty shading quality, WoL's renders tend to do the same thing.

Helmet camo was painstakingly copied from pics I found on the net.

As you may notice, I took the pics in the dark so the normals and phong wouldn't show - I need to replace the old ones still, though I'll probably need someone else to help. Still very much a WIP, I'm mucking around with the .psd constantly.

Now I need someone to tweak the model to have rolled-up sleeves and shit strapped to the helmet...

3 or so hours messing around in Unreal Editor 3. The tuts I've found don't explain skies are any real lighting, so I just looked around in this. The map was made for examples, as the name implies. It isn't really meant for pretties. Also, <3 in-editor game testing.

Really, the only was this is a WIP is if you look at the shaders, which I've had the pleasure of trying to learn and experiment with.

e: >:U!!! Imageshack downrezzed it. D:

Oh wait, just realized it was a bmp I uploaded... I'm not used to using XP after Vista (which paint defaults to saving jpg in).

looks pretty cool, although the combination of a peace symbol and "Killin' Machine" seemed a bit odd. I think the card should be a seperate plane as well. Maybe full camo, don't forget mostly unbuttoned shirt. I also vote ammo belt.

Reaper, I can't be fucked to PM you - I need the CS guerilla model, DoD US sniper model and US helmet model. I'll do the tweaking myself.

e #2:

And the rifleman, I need his backpack.

[Reaper Man]

Sigh.

[rossmum]

Be glad I'm not asking you to swap the T's arms and rifleman's pack onto the sniper model, redo the entire collar, add some pockets and then some stuff strapped to the helmet.

Is this a better render? I also cleaned the model up some more. Its 4800 polygons, 4200 without the scope.

your bolts have too many sides.

try rmaking those with less segments, it'll cut off lot.

No, it's obviously just a big round blast through the side. Maybe tweek could have a destroyed vehicle or tubular thing there as scenery, make it look more authentic.

Oh, I see it now. It sort of looked like there used to be a pipe there, but it's just the way the wall's been bent inwards.

From what Im seeing the bent thing pieces of metal was a pipe.

i know i needed some kind of entrance into that room, so there's your entrance. that's all i know.

you can make it the husk of some destroyed tunneling machine or or a crashed airplane boring it's way trough the wall or whatever, i don't rly care. :-3
i made the tunnel thing in a few minutes, and it looked pretty good, so i kept it.

They look like they could make a decent "base coat" if you will. They just lack any good shape or detail. A tablet is kinda needed for the rest IMO

Here's an M1897 Trench Gun that I'm currently working on, which, in my personal opinion, is horrible at the moment. The stock is pissing me off to no end, and so is everything else. I might consider starting over. Why am I posting it? I need some pointers, that's why. If I do start over, I want to know exactly how I'm doing it, and what primitive I'm going to begin with, as well as some general knowledge on how exactly to carry out the shaping process so that the stock doesn't look like shit.

Same, the school art system gives like a week at most for projects. It's just not enough.. I usually end up taking it home and working 5 hours straight the day before its due. Btw great portrait, especially for a rushed one.

[Bad Waffle]

Woo, finished it. The class had a critique and mine was the best because everybody did it the night before (i did too, but i got mad procrastination skillz)

My teacher was asking all these really hard questions about it, much harder than all the other artists, and i still schooled. Yay for natural talent!

[Con]

I have a question for you guyz

As you know, I'm making Valhalla for H2V... maybe

The Bases are nearly done, but I thought it might be neat to make a completely different layout instead, except using the same bases. Thoughts? I would also consider porting to CE as well. It's just that we've mostly all played h3 by now and Valhalla might not be all that special, while a custom map would be a better idea.

[Archon23]

Do it. :downs:

Though what kind of layout you have in mind?

[Con]

Something neat and open like Valhalla/BG/Standoff. The bases are more suited for that kind of terrain in more ways than just design.

[Rob Oplawar]

For once I feel completely neutral. I'll leave it to others to case their opinions, cause I think both options are equally good.

It's just that we've mostly all played h3 by now and Valhalla might not be all that special, while a custom map would be a better idea.

How about adding to the bases downwards a bit? Add multiple levels built vertically downwards. Possibly add some teleporters in there to tele near the downed pelican and the little camp. And if ya wanna make the bases more like standoff, build them into the canyon walls, and have the one somewhat into the water. Im sure you could make some glass areas and have some fish scenery to simulate being underwater.

[Sever]

Talk to me about layout if you want to - I have some pretty innovative ideas that might be helpful.

[n00b1n8R]

Make something A-symetrical, involving swaps (because there awesome and not used nearly enough).

[Phobias]

^ what zilla b00b said.

Edit: FUCK.

[Tweek]

i remembered i made a wheel for this thing, but never got any further.

decided to continue working on it.
i did some of the bodyparts, which ill be using as a base to shape my high res panels onto, and will most likely use that undetailed thing as my low-res.

http://xs322.xs.to/xs322/07506/gurgle.jpg
not much to look at yet, but when i start building the plating, it should be oohs and aahs all around.

oh btw, anyone know how to set up a symmetry modifier so it automatically mirrors everythign you do while you work? i can't seem to figure out how, and google can't seem to tell me how either.

it's still interesting that someone as opinionated as Tweek appears to have done a turn around.

[ExAm]

I agree, it's a bit hypocritical, even if the vehicle is for UT3, if I remember correctly.

[Tweek]

hey, i'm just following concept, and a high res needs stuff to project onto a normalmap, or you might as well not have one at all. making tonnes of little "&#252;seless" details is more or less the whole point of it.

Aren't those pointless lines to add 'detail' the same thing you were complaining at that other guy about? dunno what you're talking about :< got links?

go back down to editable poly in your modifier stack.
hit the "show end result" button.

done.

[DaneO'Roo]

That was like the first thing i knew how to do in maya :/

[n00b1n8R]

IIRC, firedragon posted a starship model he made that had lots of little plates on it. He'd shown it to some game dev who'd told him it was the exact sort of thing that prospective employers would love and he posted it here for our thoughts.

Tweek then stated that he thought lots of little plates on a flat model did not equate to detail.

Or something along those lines, I CBF to find it.

[Tweek]

oh that, yeah that was a particular style he followed that i didn't really like.
it works, but it wasnt my taste. that's what it was about afaik.
