^ this.

He's the Black Jesus. I'd half expect it because, after all, it IS Halo and has tons of Biblical references. ololo

His Boss: Johnson where the hell have you been?

Johnson: Just back from the explosion of the century *dusts himself off*.

His Boss: Oh, is that all?

Fatter handle?

E: And less box for handle?

E2: Barrel rotating:
_HOA9j5mMFg
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_HOA9j5mMFg

Please note, none of these animations are for final product, they are just showing parts working, part that moves up will not do that either.

[Advancebo]

If the whole top part moves up, what keeps it attached to the base of it so that you do not drop it or something while reloading?

And fix the obvious open edges >:O.

And yes fatter handle.

[Hunter]

*facepalm* Omg... Lol. I said that the animation is not a proper animation, it is just demostrating how parts work, i made it move up so you can see the barrel rotating, I am finishing the model before me and ExAm work out how it will reload and what mechanizem make sit rotate.

[Masterz1337]

I like the model alot, but not as a HRH addition.

[Heathen]

looks cool.

[Timo]

I like the model alot, but not as a HRH addition.

I have to agree, what did seem halo in a concept pic hasn't turned out as something that would really fit in imo. It's got too much stuff going on.

[MMFSdjw]

I think it looks great so far.
About readloading, you've probably already thought of it and thrown it out, but what but plain old muzzleloading? The front of that thing is not too far to reach and it'd simplify alot.

[Bad Waffle]

You know, it looks really cool so far, but we're gonna have to work on it to make it more halo-ish.

[Syuusuke]

Just slap UNSC on it.

=D

[Disaster]

Whats really buggin me about it is that it seems to crouded but at the same time extremely bland.

[Daishi]

It looks kinda like the child of a spartan laser base with a gatling gun barrel.

[Hunter]

Maybe Dane will draw up a few versions of it if you ask him? He has always been good with this kind of stuff.

[Disaster]

Are you like obsessed with dane?

"Mb dane will texture this, mb dane will draw a concept, mb dane will do this"

[FRain]

Are you OCD or something for noticing that?

[Disaster]

Are you OCD or something for noticing that?
No it just gets annoying. Don't you think if he wanted to do it that he would?

[Bad Waffle]

Hunter, i'll handle it. Dane's already doing a shitload.

[Hunter]

Okay, im rendering a better render now, with the front on as well. Just need to finsish adjusting handle, and the back then me and ExAm can get to designing the functions.

Edit: New render;

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/rl_08.jpg

[Ki11a_FTW]

i like it

[BobtheGreatII]

For high res... that doesn't look like it's using near as many polys as it should be.

Also, do not want in HRH. Decent model though.

[Hunter]

Are you like obsessed with dane?

"Mb dane will texture this, mb dane will draw a concept, mb dane will do this"

No, He is just a good artist. And thanks ^

[Bad Waffle]

hunter, rapidshare the model and pm me the link

[jngrow]

Loooks SICK

[Malloy]

Looks good, but highly impractical for the marines when on the back of a mongey :P

[Bad Waffle]

fuck practicality, we just had that discussion on how silly it is :D

[Sel]

i like it

Same.

Looks nice.

[Advancebo]

Is that a scope on a shoulder mounted weapon?

[jngrow]

Is that a scope on a shoulder mounted weapon?
Um, this happens all the time?

[Disaster]

There is all this unneeded stuff on it. The whole outer-casing can be removed and the gun will most likely still function. It's way to crowded.

[sdavis117]

There is all this unneeded stuff on it. The whole outer-casing can be removed and the gun will most likely still function. It's way to crowded.


It wouldn't look so badass though.

[SnaFuBAR]

Um, this happens all the time?
Doesn't work when it's out of line with your head, and you can't move your eye to it :downs: Doesn't look like a scope anyways, more like a laser range finder or target painter.

The design is overtly busy. Looks like a starwars "kitbash" style weapon. Please don't use that, WoL, it looks like shit. Not that hunter did a bad job modeling it, but the design itself just fucking sucks so bad.

[ExAm]

fuck practicality, we just had that discussion on how silly it is :D
And I have an idea for how it'll reload already :v:
I just need the model so I can show it...

[Heathen]

I kinda have to follow the overall climate of the comments.

It looks great hunter...reallly.

But the thing fits in Halo like Justin Chatwin fits in the DragonBall movie.

[Con]

Sorry, but I hate it, and I don't think there's anything that can be done to it to make me like it.

[ExAm]

Sorry, but I hate it, and I don't think there's anything that can be done to it to make me like it.Agreed, but I still want to dictate how it should reload :downs:

[Hunter]

I prefer the normal Halo rocket launcher, but its up to WoL. I will be finishing this rL though.

[Heathen]

Well then I completely agree with you hunter.

[shookon3]

i dont wanna look through all the pages but, is this done?

link me plz if it is. :P

[Malloy]

here bro ,

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/martynball/rl_08.jpg

dont be so fuckin lazy next time. You just wasted my generosity token.

[nick3d]

Looks awesome hunter
Would +rep but need spread some

[Lateksi]

Hell, that is so much cooler than the original Halo rocket launcher. Keep it up!

[Hunter]

Done part from some minor tweaks.

Sent to you Wol and ExAm. Rendering a small A2 size image now :P

[Geo]

If thats a scope on top then wouldn't the exhaust burn your face off whenever you look through the scope and shoot?

[Hunter]

I am guessing it is what Snaf said, some sort of targeting system. It is still rendering btw Lol.

[Advancebo]

Maybe its possible to be turret mounted, thats why it has a scope :V

[ExAm]

Massive design flaw mb?

[Inferno]

That rocket is cool. But not in halo. Halo weapons are usually very simplistic in design but still visually pleasing.

[Hunter]

Updated post. ^

E: Errrrm, I think I forgot the trigger Xd

[BobtheGreatII]

One thing that's seriously driving me nuts about the model is all of the cylinders. They need more sides. And the tubes need to line up, there's blatant clipping just in the still renders, it's hideous.

[Boba]

Notice there's a wire coming out of the back. You can't look into a wire, man :downs:
Maybe the thing on top is a guiding laser for a wire-guided rocket? I have no idea how that would work exactly, but I'm sure the person designed it probably doesn't either.

[Hunter]

Bolocks. 19738 Triangles...

[Roostervier]

There's no way that thing is 19k tris. Should be near 7k at most imo.

[SnaFuBAR]

Bolocks. 19738 Triangles...
massive fail dude. just, wow. wtf are you doing?

[Hunter]

My mistake. 5586 Triangles.

[English Mobster]

I actually like the thing. It's cool. I can actually somewhat see that in Halo.

[ExAm]

I had to tweak the model a bit to illustrate my idea, it's just roughed out to get the point across.

Too many and it wouldn't be Halo. Not like that model is going to end up in HRH anyway.

ok, back to working on hw D:

[Disaster]

That looks so much better. Not as bulky and now mb a marine can hold it :)

[t3h m00kz]

I like them both tbh, it's a shame Hunter's won't be used

[Roostervier]

It is, he just hrh-ified it. Just like he did to my shotgun. <_<

[Chainsy]

Only problem I have is that the back part is sealed, where will the emitted back fire go?

[Bad Waffle]

i wasnt gonna bother fixing it for FP, i'll fix it for 3p though.

[ExAm]

I suggest altering it so it's at least somewhat balanced on the shoulder the way the original is:
http://www.freewebs.com/spikedog/M19_SSM_RL.jpg

[Heathen]

I agree with Exam.

Also, looks great.

[Hotrod]

The new one is different, yet has that Halo RL feel to it. I like it.

[Bad Waffle]

I cant really shift it back because the rotation mechanism would then be right over the handle, and that would just be bad. I moved the barrel around, it looks better now.

[SnaFuBAR]

very much liking what you did with it, and glad you're not using that over-worked thing.

[Hunter]

Edit: Sorry...

[Roostervier]

It hasn't gone to waste, he used yours as a base model. Quit being so sensitive.

[Malloy]

Quit being a bitch and compremise... why not use your weapons yourself for your own mod?

is definitely a tasty RL

[Hunter]

It was just a big change, I just got anoyed because I spent along time on it. Oh well...

Is there anything else which needs modelling apart from that scenery WoL?

And I am making the Halo 3 Banshee for H3MT, you got any use for it, because it would be higher res than the normal banshee.

[Roostervier]

Yeah, and WOL changed my shotgun too. I like it better, so I'm not offended that he changed it. I don't see why you don't feel the same way.

[Hunter]

Eh. Sorry, I aint offended because WoL is like, a legand. I dunno. Im in a bit of an emotional state this past year. Life... you know...

[Ki11a_FTW]

But taking it to text on the web? That's something we don't really need here

[Hunter]

Okay man, no need to carry it on. /end

[Geo]

Thats why he said sorry. Case dismissed.

Edit: Fuck hunter you beat meh

[ExAm]

Eh. Sorry, I aint offended because WoL is like, a legand.I love how all the newbies think the older members are "legends" :downs:

[Hunter]

[ShadowSpartan]

Lol definition of newbies, "Anyone under 5 bars."
I don't really want to derail this topic anymore, but I feel that you are wrong. I may not have 5 bars, but I wouldn't call myself a "newbie" in the community. Sure some people might not know who I am, or what I even do for Zteam, but that doesn't constitute being called a "newbie".

The amount of rep you have does not equal your community status, or even the amount knowledge you have in your field of halo modding. I know that nobody called me a "newbie", but I just felt that something needed to be said.

[p0lar_bear]

I wouldn't call WoL a legend.

He's a damn fine modeler, but not a legend.

[Hunter]

I meant along those lines. Anyway, offtopic much?

WoL, any more models needed?

[TeeKup]

Lol definition of newbies, "Anyone under 5 bars."

You can leave anytime now.

[Corndogman]

Jesus Christ people, he wasn't serious.

If your going to be a prick, you might as well get out too.

[Choking Victim]

Yea, pretty sure it was a joke. He's under 5 bars himself...that should've been a clue.

Actually hunter, i do feel bad and i know what its like to have your worked completely changed by somebody else. It's just that you couldn't see what i was seeing, and you just didn't have the right idea of HRH. The model you have is still completely yours, and i want to see it ingame as its own thing.


Eh. Sorry, I aint offended because WoL is like, a legand. I dunno. Im in a bit of an emotional state this past year. Life... you know...

Been there too. Learned to play slide guitar and mastered the blues scale. Put that sadness to use :D

Heh, i wanna be a western hero :D

Hey buddy, how many bars do i have? :)

Was gonna say he was joking but you guys took care of that.

Any news on that RL?

It is okay, honestly. I can see why you did it, and it looks better. I like it.

Is there anything else you need?

[Geo]

Yea, pretty sure it was a joke. He's under 5 bars himself...that should've been a clue.


Yeah it was a joke. I don't blame them tho, its kinda hard to tell when someone is joking when your online, but it doesn't really need hasty assumptions like Teekups.

[TeeKup]

I was being sarcastic. I guess I should hit myself though since I didn't back it up with an emot.

[Geo]

Haha both of us misunderstood each other. Its all good man.

[TeeKup]

Good to know :)

Back on topic. I'm eager to see new textures for that launcher.

Hunter I wouldn't mind seeing yours put to good use somehow, you did well on it.

[Hunter]

I might just release it. Dunno. WoL, any updates?

[Roostervier]

What kind of updates are you guys wanting? I guess I could tell you that the RL is already animated and in-game, and in the process of being uv'd. You'd have to ask WoL about any other updates.

[Choking Victim]

Did WOL ever fix the sky issue he asked me about?

[Roostervier]

Not sure, but by the looks of the sky in the build I have... no.

[Bad Waffle]

Rooster, the sky i was having issues with was a skybox i was fucking around with. The one in mombassa is oooold.

and CV, i havent fixed it yet, havent had time as of late.

[BobtheGreatII]

Hey WOL, I'm working on that stuff on page 92, what do you want the poly limit to be on the scenery?

That is of course, if you don't mind I contribute something to this.

Edit:
Well... got this done today... dunno what everyone will think, but there's always room for improvement.

[Higuy]

Wow that looks great. I love it.

[thehoodedsmack]

Consider including bits of peeled-back metal or debris around the broken bin. Holes don't just "happen".

[Reaper Man]

Looks great, except for the crack, which looks pretty unconvincing. Instead of having a crack, why not have it overflowing or on its side missing a few wheels and dented a bit?

Change the break in the last one to a more torn, bent-inward (since the hole was probably caused by a large explosive projectile) look, rather than a sort of shattered look. Metal doesn't shatter like that. And add something sticking out of the first one, to justify the lid being open like that.

[Heathen]

basically what they said about the hole...

Trash was full, people started throwing stuff on the ground.

OR they threw it in there and it fell out :)

[Bad Waffle]

I love them, bob. Though, you modelled the interior wrong. You made a hole in the top and then just dragged the edges downwards, when in reality im pretty sure the can would be completely hollow. I can't wait to get these dumpsters ingame, thank you so much man.

I'll make sure to fix that real quick.

Also, another thing I just whipped together. I'm not impressed myself by them, and will most likely redo it. but it is 11:18 here, and I'm rather tired, so here's a render of what I've gotten done on the rooftop window things:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9722/roofwindownx0.jpg

Edit: Also, all 4 of those (not including the plane underneath) contain 756 polys together

[Bad Waffle]

Actually, i like em. I say if you don't like them, make another variety of them. I have a total of 6 rooftops of different buildings that could use em, 1 or two varieties would really be all i needed.

[Bad Waffle]

Jah bob, love the other stuff, no so much the palms. Heck, i'm gonna have to look up extra stuff for you to make :o

Also, we're gonna need quite a few cars to make the parking structures/roads look less bland--i felt we should pay homage to some great sci-fi. If anybody wants to model them, or add, please feel free to. Remember, civilian vehicles. Maybe some air-vehicles for the top-levels :o

Yeah, I know, sorry guys, didn't honestly know how to model the trees, I can scrap them if you want.

Hmm...a pelican w/ some crates around it might do well up there on either side. I'd want to handle that puppy myself, because its the effin' pelican.

Would you mind if I made some higher poly versions of the crates scattered through Mombassa in Halo 2?

These ones:
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/files/lg/crates_pic.jpg

Atleast I think those are like the ones you see in Mombassa, I'll look when I get home from school, if I'm wrong, I hope you know what I'm talking about.

[Advancebo]

What about those containers from Halo 2. The ones that say CQBB or something. The large ones you can walk into. Those would look good high poly.

[Bad Waffle]

Yea, the railings, and these things would be good for roofs:

It's COBB. And I think I know what you're talking about. And I think they might take up too much room in the city. Not much purpose for them being there either.
I've taken a few minutes to post some other things that I think should be included in the city:

Edit:

Already been fixed.

[English Mobster]

I decided to model that trash can.

There will be 3 versions:
1. Normal trash can.
2. Same trash can, but with the lid to change the bag opened.
3. Same trash can, but with the lid opened and the can itself coming out.

What about an Albatross? It's the UNSC equivalent of a Chinook or a Sea Stallion, which would be ideal to ferry large amounts of supplies into a city under siege. (The reason I suggest this is because it gives you an opportunity to expand on the universe and backstory, as well as give some atmosphere to NM, not to mention a cool, reusable tidbit. It'd also give you a place to make something really interesting, seeing as the albatross hasn't really been expanded upon)

[Bad Waffle]

Albatross, thats an interesting idea.

Also, benches:

Nah, they're fine, what did you want us to think. Like WoL said make a few variants as they're all the same really just different stages of being emptied?

what about a wheelie bin, foot stamp bin (the ones that open when you push down the lever with your foot) go mad.

[Advancebo]

Bit of an update:

What do you think?

I never seen a trash can that tall (excluding dumpsters), especially to adults.
Fix smoothing :V

As you may have noticed, I didn't add any cables, but I kind of figured you might be able to model your own and have them scattered on the ground on the map.

I really think you should change up the design a lot more than it is in Halo 2. I don't like those trash cans at all, I was just saying, that we probably need some. Although, if they're not moving (scenery) then it might be kind of difficult to place them on street corners and what not when you might be running in to them in the Warthog during chases. That would piss me off, that's for sure.

[Bad Waffle]

Wow bob, you and me think alike. I was going to say that about the trashcans myself. And good idea for the wires.

Heck, i might have to take you onto the team if you keep this up :o

He would definitely be a great addition :)

Considering how far in the future this is, I don't think they'd have overhead powerlines. In most new developments I see, the cables are always underground. Try some power boxes in front of the buildings instead.

Just modeling what WoL asked for...

Oops, when i posted that, i just wanted the transformer itself. The whole lightpost is kinda unnecessary, for the reasons ExAm posted.

[Hunter]

You want me to try the Albatross WoL?

[Anton]

I think he said he wanted to do it. :P

[Bad Waffle]

Nahh, i don't really have the time. Give it a shot, hunter.

[Malloy]

@ Hunter... Use the Halo 2 map 'Relic' I think, for a better reference.

the front is covered in Sandtrap.

In the building that these will go, the rod things will come in handy, keepem.

That would be pretty cool. Only small and occasionally, though. Not always on like on the Index platform in The Library.

I dunno when I am going to have time to do it though WoL. Aint been on PC for a while.

^Malloy's correct :)

[Advancebo]

The Albatross is in Halo 3 on Sandtrap, and in Halo 2 on that map. Though you only see the cargo bay, you will have to make up your own front part.

[Huero]

albatrosses are in halo wars.

Just wanted to say that I haven't stopped working, I've been trying to get stuff in game roughly just so whomever the person is who is creating the tags may have an easier time.

It's been rather troublesome using 3ds Max 9, but I'll keep messing with it. The current problem I'm having is some parts of objects appear to have the faces facing inward in game (Sapien). I know it's something like a box I forgot to check or something, but if someone has an idea what I'm talking about, could you help me out?

Also, that material thing is really kicking me in the butt, I don't remember having so much trouble with it. <:mad:>

[Choking Victim]

teh_lag was talking to me about a similar problem, he said he believes it has to do with the mirror modifier iirc. I'd definitely talk to him about it.

EDIT:

Wow, thanks. Turns out the parts of the models that I had mirrored were the parts that were messed up. All better now.

[itszutak]

mudflaps :v:

E: Not saying they're a bad idea. I really like them

[Hotrod]

Damn, that Warthog is simply amazing, though I think I've said that before...

[Advancebo]

Add the mudflap movements into the animations.

[Heathen]

Will the dirt tracks still fly up behind it?

[Roostervier]

The mud flaps have no nodes, I'm pretty sure.

[Heathen]

then why put them?

[Roostervier]

I'll have to talk to WoL. I think it'll cause us to have to make a new physics (which is unfortunate) and I'd have to merge all the nodes to the 12 or so max files I've got of the hog, so that it always has the same node graph. We'll see though, but this mod isn't mine to make decisions about.

[Advancebo]

I do not see how adding a node messes with physics.

[Choking Victim]

I do not see how adding a node messes with physics.
It throws off the node list when you add nodes to the model, so if the physics tag references node 6 as the left back suspension, it won't be correct. It's possible to change those values in guerilla though.

[Bad Waffle]

OMGWTFBBQ, WUT R U DOING SHOWING OUR TOP SECRET MAPP?!!??!

Seriously, Rooster, if you're up to fixing the physics tag and redoing the animations after adding the nodes to the coll and model (and then rigging the model as one mesh with the skin modifier), then do it. I can't believe i didn't think of nodes on the flaps earlier.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Better yet, remove the mudflaps from the model and use a .flag attachment widget for them. This way they'll have wind/explosion physics and all that good stuff as well.

[ICEE]

Won't that make them stretch when you move though?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

I believe polar posted a fix for that for the original flag a while ago using a modified point physics, or something.

[ICEE]

interesting. If anyone digs that up I'd like to look into it

[CtrlAltDestroy]

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2479

[p0lar_bear]

Yeah, I modified the point physics tag to have collision and much less elasticity.

[Hunter]

Boba has PM'ed me some designs of it, and it does not look like that in the designs. He told me that the part you see in the games is just the cargo bay. So that means it may be bigger than the pelican.

Edit: I will probably make this one, I have some good ideas for it seems I cannot really use much of this image for the design because it is a small sketch. I will just make it a simular shape. It would probably be a nice vehicle to actually use.

[Delta4907]

If you look at the Albatross model from Halo 2's Relic in max (after ripping it of course), you'll see that the cockpit is about 75% the size of the cargo bay. I'll get a render in a minute.

[Corndogman]

Would you be interested in using one of these scenery objects I made?
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa303/corndogman939/Scenery1.jpg

Ignore the cone though, old render. The big thing is a Public Mail Box if you couldn't tell, thing next to it is a wet floor sign.

[legionaire45]

I was under the impression that they stopped murdering trees by the 2550's. And that they used email.

How about public computer terminals for shit like that?

[SnaFuBAR]

Sorry dude, but those objects don't look like they belong in the future at all. they look like the daily objects i've seen since i was a kid.

[Inferno]

Have you even played halo 3? The future has plenty of traffic cones. Some more deadly than others.

Well I really didn't model these with the intention of being futuristic. But I doubt that they would eliminate paper mail, somethings you just need to be able to touch. Unless they had a way to teleport whole objects, which I've never seen in the halo universe, I think they would still use it to some extent.

I dont really want to get into one of those "But its the future so blah blah blah" kind of arguments, so lets just wait to see what WoL thinks. And I'm willing to change them and maybe model something new.

Hurf fucking durf guys, holy shit.

[Corndogman]

@ Llama, I meant on Earth. And those are really just for multiplayer gameplay purposes.

@Snaf, that was actually more in response to Legionaire and his comment about not using mail. And I said I'm willing to change it to make it look futuristic.

This. This is good. Do this.

[PenGuin1362]

also, looks like there's far to many sides on those bottles. Even though this is supposed to be high resolution, it's very wise not to waste resources on something so minuscule that will hardly be seen.

Animate the mail box to slowly hover up and down with a stream of light or something coming from underneath it. Then it'll be futuristic :p

No, Master Chief is 7 feet tall, some Spartans are taller, some are shorter. If I recall correctly, Sam was a head taller than John (Master Chief), so that would make him at least 8 feet tall. But, if you mean the in-game Muliplayer Spartans, then yes, they are represented as 7 feet tall.

[Hunter]

My dad can be a cock sometimes. I was logged on computer with 3ds max open and a pretty good engine in the making, I hadnt saved yet. I left it open and went to watch supernatural.

My mum wanted to check her emails, so she tryed to switch user, but bitdefender does not allow people to switch use and says that they are not admin because I am still logged on.

So my dad, being a prick decided to turn the computer off and come had a go at me asking me why I was the only admin on the computer.. I told the ass a lot of times who is admin and he is an admin.

He needs to get his facts right next time. Time to model it again...

[Reiper]

^ Damn. That sucks. How much modelling wasn't saved?

[Hunter]

It wasnt too much but still. He didnt even apolagise. I slammed the door on him and he started shouting "I will rip your face of!" I was like Soz hard Lol.

not your dad's fault you didn't save, and did you check the autoback (do they skip the C?... autobak...) folder? Max auto backups your work like every five or 15 minutes... so assuming you haven't started playing in Max again... check the folder.
