It can't be that bad, else you wouldn't know what it was meant to be. :downs:

Maybe he doesn't?

[paintballakid5]

EDIT: i'm still adding Details..

[SnaFuBAR]

your receiver shape is wrong, the foregrip shape is wrong, the magazine well is fat, your stock is not shaped correctly, the pistol grip is a box, the ris is lol, the carry handle is not supposed to be a big fat extrusion, stock thickness is incorrect and would never function because the hinge is in the wrong spot. all i could bother myself to point out for now.

[Sel]

Heh, doesnt look bad to me, but then, Im not snaf :D

[ima_from_America]

But Halo is yet to see an FX-05.

[Higuy]

All I see is the grip thats wrong.. But ya I think but it looks pretty good so far.

Ive been practicing my modeling skills.:hyper: Ive been hyper latley as well =P
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff260/showbizfluffy/Hi-1.jpg
yes.. I got the door idea from Selentic..

[Jay2645]

Looks meh.

[Higuy]

I now, But im not the best so I need to practice anyway.

[Jay2645]

I made a concept for a little map I'm working on in Paint (Too lazy to use Photoshop and make a GOOD concept, and this works anyway):
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/Jay2645/Hoth-Concept.jpg
I had the map ingame at one point, but I noticed several inaccuracies in the Rebel Base (I found my Star Wars Episode V the other day), so I went ahead and decided to add a couple areas, which lead to a complete redesign.
What do you think? (Of the layout of the map, not how crappy my concept is)

[JDMFSeanP]

Looks way too small for AT AT at that scale BTH, they can like turn around and thats it.

Kinda lame how all the big things spawn like BOOM right there

[SnaFuBAR]

i know what it is supposed to look like... it seems Semi accurate to me...
apparently if you think that's a good accuracy to the reference images, you DON'T know what it's supposed to look like. in fact, i KNOW you have no clue about the surfaces of that weapon. get multiple high res references of the model from different angles and note subtle surface curves. your model is a box.

[Jay2645]

Looks way too small for AT AT at that scale BTH, they can like turn around and thats it.

Kinda lame how all the big things spawn like BOOM right there
Well, the way I saw it was if you have a base, you would fortify it with everything you have close by, and if you were assaulting said base, you would bring everything out in one spot, not put the AT-ATs all the way on the other side of the map, while putting the AT-STs a little bit closer, meaning the ground troops would have to walk to them. No, they would have them all together, in one spot. It makes no sense any other way.

And I promised everyone (Myself included) that I was NOT going to make another Coldsnap using Star Wars vehicles. If you are on foot, you will be able to make pretty good time across the map. I wanted my AT-ATs to scale, but I also wanted the elements that make a good map.
If the spawns mess with gameplay, I'll move them, but look at Blood Gulch. All the major vehicles spawn right by the bases.
Look at Yoyorast Island. Within 30 seconds of the base are the Ghosts, Warthogs, Rockets, and Shotguns. If you walk for 1 minute 30 seconds, you have another rocket, some ATVs, and a sniper. Easy access.
I didn't specify where I'd put the major weapons (Like the Blaster Cannon, my equivalent of the Rocket Launcher), but I won't put them all at the base or somewhere where everyone can get them easily. You will have to do a bit of work to get the big weapons, and while it IS vehicle-oriented, you can do a flag cap on foot if you use the trenches or the caves.

As for the AT-AT, it has INCREDIBLY slow turning speed. Anyone with half a brain can shoot at the back of the thing without being killed. In fact, that's one of my recommended strategies for killing it.

Hell, I'll post the vehicle's strengths and weaknesses, just for the hell of it. I spoilered it so people don't have to scroll as much:
AT-AT:
Pros:
Powerful
Hard to Kill
Cons:
Big
Slow

Snowspeeder:
Pros:
Fast
Maneuverable
Cons:
Weak Armor
Mediocre Weaponry

AT-ST:
Pros:
Fast
Somewhat hard to kill
Cons:
Short Range
Not very effective against vehicles

Turret:
Pros:
Good infantry killer.
Cons:
Sitting Duck to vehicles.

Anti-Armor Turret:
Pros:
Good vehicle killer.
Useful for taking out AT-ATs and AT-STs before they become a threat.
Cons:
Sitting duck to almost anything, as most of your body is exposed.
Small splash damage radius makes it ineffective against infantry.

[Masterz1337]

TBH, it sitll doesn't sound like you know what you're doing. You might have not noticed, but every walker vehicle in CE ends up looking retarded once animated. Even Bungie removed the walking turrets from H1 for this reason. Hate to burst your bubble, but unless you want to have your walkers float along doing the moonwalk, then you wasted your time with these models.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa115/Jay2645/Hoth-Concept.jpg

It looks off, why not use the concept of the level from Battlefront 2, it was pretty accurate and more revealing than the movie.

[Sel]

Started working on an interior to replace the half assed one I made for the main base before.

Here we has the fag flag room area.

I know there are some bad UVs, and that monument ish thing at the back of the room will be made into a more interesting shape pretty soon.

[S3anyBoy]

What's with the sentinel?

[Sel]

What's with the sentinel?

Scale, and I was trying to get the floors to be dynamic mirrors, but I failed miserably :(

[Choking Victim]

sapien doesn't render real time reflections properly. If it worked, you would see a rainbowish cubemap applied to the mirror (much like a corrupt cubemap kind of look). Also, about your model. If the flag is going in the center of that sunk-in floor under the sentinel, i feel like that could be a gameplay killer. Players would constantly forget to jump to get out, and even if they do jump, it leaves them in the air for about 1 second with a flag in their hands, totally vulnerable to an attack. I recommend making it easier to walk out of. Otherwise it looks quite nice :).

Yeah I just stuck glass over that.

So I have to check reflections ingame since they dont appear in sapien?

[Choking Victim]

well, for dynamic reflections, you open the shader_environment tag and check the dynamic mirror flag. After that, recompile your bsp jms file. Then check it either in sapien, or ingame (sapien will have the corrupt cubemap kind of look that i mentioned, ingame will be an actual real time reflection.)

ok umm first off the Rise is not a giant extrusion. it is a seperate plane.

the foregrip is a little off.

the Magazine isn't fat enough... compare it to the Ref_picture.

the pistol grip i will agree on. i need re-do that part.(i never liked it from the beggining)

and i do realise the stock is to thick. i'm not done with this model, i'm still adding stuff.

it's not called a rise, it's called a carry handle. and i mean width wise, not height. look carefully at the way the thing is actually made, you're not doing it right. the foregrip is WAY off. i never said anything about the magazine, i said the magazine WELL, the part you insert the magazine into.

get more references, your model is poor. you can defend your model all you want, but with your untrained eyes, you're wrong, period. end of story. if you don't want to take the constructive crit and stay mediocre, that's fine.

[malolo420]

yes crossfire, no it isnt ripped.

[MNC]

nice hitboxes. I really don't know anything about that, but I'm guessing the models aren't centered properly? Anyway, it looks nice, something completely different on the halo engine.

ok, still not done, still adding a bunch of details, but heres where i am so far.:)

bipod is not final, still need to re-do the pistol grip, i need to re-do the thing that holds the flashlight on, theres a few non-planars, i made the stock a fixed stock non-folding, and thats about it.

anything else i missed?

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u264/paintballakid5/g36c.jpg

[Disaster]

Too many rocks and the circular indention with the boulder hanging out of it looks unnatural, but it still looks very good. I spy lots of improvment from the old cliffs in this map

Few minor errors here and there still to fix.

[Geo]

Beautiful work. All I can see thats wrong is an error in the butt of the gun.

[Anton]

Looks sexy peng. :]

[il Duce Primo]

The desighn of the gun if it is real or not. On how the site is mounted. Seems like it would get a little inaccurate everytime because you move the scope placement everytime you have to open it up to feed in a new I don't know what to call it but the clip thing.

[SnaFuBAR]

well, the cover snaps in the same spot every time, so the scope placement does not ever change. no big deal. besides that, it's not a precision weapon. the low magnification scope in this case would serve to increase the range of cover fire.

e: you could do with a larger render to be honest. it would really show the details well.

[PenGuin1362]

yea i gotta get twinkie a render so i'll post a larger one here too. also this is a real design. it's the mk43 mod...thus the reason i put the name there >_>.

[Sel]

Nice work Penguin, looks really nice.

[il Duce Primo]

Yea I was just wondering because it doesn't seem like a well desighn but I guess it is because it's not used all that much for accuracy just getting as many bullets out at a time.

[Leiukemia]

Yea I was just wondering because it doesn't seem like a well desighn but I guess it is because it's not used all that much for accuracy just getting as many bullets out at a time.

It's obvious you don't know much if anything about guns. You didn't even know it was a real gun, how could you possibly judge the design?

[malolo420]

nice hitboxes. I really don't know anything about that, but I'm guessing the models aren't centered properly? Anyway, it looks nice, something completely different on the halo engine.

no its centered but I added autoaim for client, still needs to be re-rigged though (arms, waist and left hand is fucked).

There might be shipment actually, disaster volenteered to model it lol.


Malolo, I really wish I could see my Uzi or smoke grenade in there. WINK WINK. It even goes along with the COD4 theme.

They are, all textured and tagged too. Now all they need is animations.

[il Duce Primo]

It's obvious you don't know much if anything about guns. You didn't even know it was a real gun, how could you possibly judge the design?

My point was that since the site moves everytime you open it the site becomes innacurate. That is what I was saying. I do know somewhat about guns. I may not know every gun but I sure the hell know the basic desighn of guns because my dead's hobby is guns and he builds them and has taught me some. So yea the site would get innaccurate so all I was saying is that it's a bad desighn like that. But it really doesn't make much of a difference just the desighn could be tweaked.

And when did I say it was not a real gun? I believed that it was a gun when he said the name of it.

[PenGuin1362]

the sight may become uncalibrated but only very slightly due to movement of the scope itself, the actual receiver cover moving will not throw the sight off, it locks in place therefore it can't change position each time. not to mention this is not a precision weapon so the scope being off by a bit won't matter anyway.


But crossfires my fave :(woo hf! o/

but needs better weapon models :<


There might be shipment actually, disaster volenteered to model it lol.

hell i'll model it, that's like a 2 hour job -_- and most of that work is creating all the scenery. no i won't really model it. but maybe if i get some spare time (which doesn't happen often)

[paintballakid5]

On the other hand, it looks quite nice. The hands look like he's been playing Guitar Hero for a few hours, but perhaps that's the preferred standard position for animating.

Edit: I see, it's for the gun handle.

[Geo]

Right you are sir.

[SuperSunny]

my god fix the hands O_o, forearms are also very bland. if you would be so kind to post a wireframe and a triangle count. rest looks pretty good.

I think the hands on most of the chiefs that have been modeled (like Bungie's) are actually like that. It's designed for animating properly with holding a gun, etc.

Forearms do need a bit of an improvement. I'd like to see it textured :P

[Geo]

Ya the hands are actually supposed to be that way. If you look at any of the other bipeds made by bungie, they are all like that. And ya I'm thinking of giving the forearms more detail, and then hopefully just using those as the fp model since they are detailed enough.

[PenGuin1362]

didn't mean the way they're positioned i mean geometrically they look wrong.

Redo the gun, this time look at references to see how to properly set up the bipod, the barrel, the RIS, remove the front ironsight because you have a scope attachment, get rid of the retarded bevels by the mag load, fix the carrying handle, fix the off-center stock hinge, fix the bolt, the scope's base, fix the handle, remove the small push screws that you just tossed onto the model. It's alright i suppose, for about half a year of modelling experience.

you arent done, you need to show wireframes so we can check the edgeflow. If you didnt do it correctly, then the joints will not bend correctly. You also need to finish the forearms, and move the shoulders to a less strained position. It looks like you took time doing the legs and then as you proceeded you started getting extremely sloppy and lazy.

[Kiwibird]

I'm making an Arwing from Star Fox. I plan to make a Star Fox themed map. Still have a lot left to do on this model.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/DarthKiwibird/arwingrender.jpg

Also, I use Blender for most modeling, but I've been trying to get better at 3Ds Max modeling (which this model was made in) and I don't know how to render it well. Is there a tutorial that one of you made for that?

[Leiukemia]

WOL has one, I can't remember what topic name is. I made one too. His is better, a little more advanced too. Here's mine, I'm sure he'll post a link for his too. Also, scrap that model, it's not worth saving. http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3801

Alright, thank you for the advice. Ya it does need more work, and its already rigged and works fine so the edgeflow is fine in the joints.

it's still a WIP, he sends it to me and i Smooth it. he's one of our modelers in CH3MT.

When I first saw those animations I looked at them objectively, assuming they were made by a beginner, but when I saw the shotgun that changed. You do know that you shouldn't hold a rifle with your face right?

jesus christ about time you caught on.

still smoothing errors/lack of smoothing. bolt is horrid i doesn't even resemble the bolt. magazine area/magazine looks messed and for a gun with a bull pump design the area around the handle and magazine needs more detail.

[Invader Veex]

the animations for everything are all noting but tests + stuff. The only "complete" animations are the sniper. and those lack to much detail.

[Warningshot3]

just a quick question to anyone who knows.

is it worth using the edit normals modifier to fix some errors that smoothing groups (the numbers 1-32 thing) can create?
and does it even export changes done with the edit normals modifier?

[CSFLOYD]

well i hope this pleases yall im almost done too there are 1501 polies.
yes i know there are smoothing errors but i cant smooth only model.

Looks fine to me, thats very nice work there.

Cant wait to see that ingame.

yeah i agree way to wide. you should download the ghosts gbxmodel importer and get the basic sizes of the ar from the original ar.

there are diffrences in h3 and h1 sizes correct me if im wrong.
but it was a little wide i made it skinnier.
edit: btw that is the 3p model.

yeah but not much.
i hope you done something like this to help create the ar.

Also, the flashlight on the ar is too boxy, make it more cylindrical.

[p0lar_bear]

Due to a flood of complaints, let me clarify something:

"Irritating Post" infractions in this thread do not necessarily mean that the post was irritating. Read the first post (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showpost.php?p=211511&postcount=1) in this thread:


Violations of these rules WILL be slapped with an "Irritating Post" infraction (1 point, 14 days to decay).

I pick that infraction because it is the most basic of them; it's only 1 point and it disappears faster than any of the others. I don't rename it upon giving it simply because I can't be assed to, especially when I'm giving them out as frequently as I am in here (though I wish I wasn't).

If this would like to be discussed further, PM me. Don't reply directly to this post.

any 3p pics to help us crit it? but...to me it looks a little smooshed vertically. also, work on the darks/lights of the metal so it matches the actual spiker more, and just work on the texture in general. not bad though, looks pretty good. just need some good animations now...

[NuggetWarmer]

The texture looks like our (H3MT's) old spiker texture. :( Which, by the way, was ew.

[chicane]

The FP model looks a little bit small. Remember, the gun is basically rifle size. Also, finger placement needs some work. Try to get as little clipping as possible.

[Warningshot3]

use photoshop and overlay a fp pic of the h3 spiker in h3 and your spiker in halo ce and you can see the differences easy
you will need both pics to be the same size and aspect ratio.

Hi, I have been working on this texture for my map I am currently working on. Well I was just wondering which one you all would prefer more?

Hmm, I prefer the second one, it's a tad more bright than the first.

[Sever]

If the map is more of a fast-paced combat arena-type map, use the first one, whereas if you want it to have a slower paced and more strategic game, use the second one. You don't want the backdrop to draw too much attention to itself when you want the players to be solely focussed on their targets.

[chicane]

The first one has a more "buried under dust" feel to it. I like the second one better.


also:

NOOO don't do that unless you want it to look exactly like H3, in which case the gun will aim below the reticle.

[Masterz1337]

that's frighteningly easy to do, both in max, and halo
IIRC we tried to do it to the MPV1 shotty, but halo hates more than 3 2 lens flares on a FP model.

both are terrible textures.
you've stuffed them woth depth information, and light information, and even specular information! when there's supposed to be nothing more than colour information.
let the ENGINE do the lighting
theres bumpmaps etc for a reason.

[MMFSdjw]

tweek is very correct, they are both great textures for older games. however, they can still be good in CE since it won't show bumps without dynamic lighting. but that is an important thing to be mindful of when making textures.

[Zanarkand]

Those textures do have bump and specular, thats why I rendered them in 3ds max 8. Snafu, I made the texture from scratch its not very hard at all. It involves clouds and a few other minor things. Who terrornomore?

[paintballakid5]

well i can assure you, it is not anyone elses texture for the spiker, infact it's gonna seem kinda weird i don't know if anyone else does this but i do..:D

i used a Halo screen shot(s) to texture my spiker. and it still needs some UVW-ing.

so i didn't steal anything :)

looks really good selentic

Yeah, it looks good but the top of the terrain, the edge of the cliff, could use more variation. It looks like it's all the same hight, and that's not good.
break it up and ad more variety.

Yeah I kinda hit align Z for the faces around the top you cant see, so now I have to re variate them again D:

Instead of having the projectiles attach, make them detonate into another projectile that uses the needler model and a different skin that attaches to any surface. And if the attach fails, set the other impact effect to "disappear."

Also make the light volume a bit smaller. Every light volume and contrail in Halo 1 was about twice as big as in Halo 3.

nice idea. what if you made a loop. like make a projectile detonate into the same projectile but each one spawns like 10. it would go 1 spawns 10, 10 spawns 100, 100 spawns 1000..... and so on. FPS killer!!!!!

oh wait doesnt halo stop after like 100 projectiles?

no they don't. all you did was http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/rock/rock.htm
you didn't make any bumps or speculars, you just put two bad photoshop textures next to each other on this little presentation, then try to cover your butt when tweek brought up bump and specular. if you had actually made bump and specular, you would've brought it up and not presented it straight on.

"this video is no longer available"

[SuperSunny]

Dude, do not use my texture as an example. It's composed of much more than that. I did a crappy photoshop cloud job on it. Bad bad example. For most people, this method is NOT good, unless you want to bake/build the bumps into the diffuse.

The best examples to use are the ones from the game itself. Just take a look at how the cliffs are created, and how they blend with the ground. My work is good to use as reference for shader design and lighting design, not texture or model design ><

[Bodzilla]

need a better picture of it
i cant see shit with the lack of contrast you have there.

[Warningshot3]

maybe change the bg color to blue or something. and if you got a spec and bump bitmap put them into the ar's material and then add some lights around the ar.

The texture itself (underneath all those unconvincing scratches) is really quite poor, work on it some more.

[Warningshot3]

but then again in game it might be better looking. show us an in game pic.

[CSFLOYD]

Looks like scuffed, rubberized plastic tbh. Which is fine for the grips, but the carapace needs to look like METAL.

To get it ingame I need to solve this:

any suggestions? I DO know it has to do with materials...

[Ki11a_FTW]

make every material a multi-sub

[Warningshot3]

maybe there is a triangle with a material number higher then whats in the multi\sub-object

like if you got 5 standard materials and if there is a triangle with a material set id >5.

idk. just a random thing that came to mind.

[Invader Veex]

I think I know what you mean, Killa, been trying but figure it out...how do I do that? :x

[Ki11a_FTW]

where your materials are in 3ds max, where it says "Standard", click it and change it to multi-sub object for however many standards you may have

[Invader Veex]

Still no luck.

[Warningshot3]

should look kinda like this

im also working on a new assault rifle and mine seems to be compiling fine (above) and also, are you exporting with the ghosts exporter?

[Invader Veex]

Yes, I am.

EDIT: I have to go. I'll be back in about 8 hours, maybe. if not, 17 hours.

[Warningshot3]

odd. select all objects, select the multi\sub-object and hit assign material to selection. because it should say model where it says no name.
