[GALLERY] Dane's Boudoir

[Heathen]

That could go so, so wrong...

Or so, so right. :D

[DaneO'Roo]

The textures themselves look good, but I don't see how a gun that rusted and dirty could operate (the second one). Like I said though, the textures themselves I've got no problems with.

Because it's from hell? Dunno, just looks gross, compared to the pretty one, which is what I aimed for.


Dane, you never cease to amaze.

Who made that model? It's pretty cool.

Guy on the team goes by the name Phaeton. We've got some pretty talented people on the team, and as far as I know we need more. They'd have to be able to make some really good stuff that fits the bill though.

[Sever]

Just from my artistic standpoint, I think you should make the engravings on Heaven glow a very icy sky-blue, and the engravings on Hell glow a burning, mottled, crimson-orange. Also, some gold and rust embossing on each respective handle would look nice. A combination of two separate styles intertwining on each handle would add so much more to each of your already high-quality skins.

[legionaire45]

Both guns look really nice! I think that Hell could use a bit more grime/wear/general nastiness around the back of the cylinder and percussion cap area but other then that I can't really comment on anything else.

N. The glowing blue good vs the glowing orange/red bad is so cliche. I hate it. I like the way it is now- subtle. You don't need to beat us over the head with glowy effects. It doesn't need to be supernatural. I like how it's realistic and pretty, and has that sort of symbolism present without screaming to the world "look at my symbolism".

[Sever]

True, true. It'd still look sexy though.

[Con]

Beautiful detail dano!

[DaneO'Roo]

can't rep rob right now :(

[Sever]

I can though - and I did. Always good to have someone there to bounce ideas off of and give reassuring crit.

Plane modeling this is hard :(

[Bastinka]

That's in maya right?

[Heathen]

I know nothing about this kind of stuff, but from my eyes.....

Does this have too high a polycount or something like that. I dont know the lingo for it.

[DaneO'Roo]

That's in maya right?

Max

and heathen, I made it fairly hi poly so I could get some good detail out of it. I'm going to mudbox a normal map for the thing too. I want this thing to be the most awesome thing I've done. From concept, to finished product, all me basically so I'm trying as hard as I can to get this thing finished in the next few days, though I can't really tell how long it's going to take to uv map...

[Disaster]

Looks pretty good to me. Better than what I can do. :wink:
E: cmon I must spread rep some moar

[Bastinka]

It doesn't really look like 'the flood' related to the ideas of it, but I guess it looks nice. Theres some extra segments that can be vert welded to fix things.

[LlamaMaster]

Doesn't look amazing yet, but it's not supposed to. Props to you for modeling it, I know how much of a pain in the ass organics like that are.

[DaneO'Roo]

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6513/96396463sk8.jpg

Started mudboxing it, just for practice while I uv map the model, and model the extra shit for it.

[Heathen]

Looks floody. Looks like a vag underneith the third spinal arch thing.

[Con]

are those feet?

[Chainsy]

No, its supposed to fly apparently, but I see it more as a hovering flood type, the either uses projectiles, or emits a noxious gas.

[DaneO'Roo]

are those feet?

Just big landing pad sucker things.

[Hotrod]

So, what's this Flood Form called? Just a combat form or something? Or will it have it's own special name, like the Flood Floaty Form?

[Bastinka]

How big is this form compared to MC? Also how does it infect the target.. >_>

[Corndogman]

Looks like it puts its mouth over the users head, and somehow that infects it.

[Hotrod]

Why would it infect people? Didn't he say it was an infected Engineer, that dropped bomb-things on people?

[Con]

prolly swallows its prey with its gaping vagina

[Pooky]

how does this thing attack?

[Bad Waffle]

Dane, you've managed to re-kindle my desire to do 3d art, singlehandedly, with that vagina monster, and those guns.

Time to pull out the tablet and find that old mudbox disk.

[Bodzilla]

Pretty much everything's done except i need to put some more normal map detail to the inside of its mouth, and just tweak the overall detail of everything over the next few days.

*edit*

http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5510/floodinfestdiffuseco2.jpg

A low res of the body diffuse.

[ICEE]

its kind of shapeless. How is it supposed to hurt people?

[DaneO'Roo]

urgh I'm sick of explaining. It's a flying flood, hits people with big front arms if they're close, flys above and drops eggs down to fail people. The end.

I think I know why people don't make more custom stuff. When they do, everyone hounds and them and questions them 24/7 about how it works. GOD DAMMIT.

[Chainsy]

Suggestion: maybe when the eggs explode they drop infection forms?

[DaneO'Roo]

Thats a given.

[FluffyDucky™]

The release heaps of little flood things, like those ones that explode. Dane the color is looking much better and the wings. I don't know if both pics are the same but the second one I like better than the first. The color of the wings looks better? Also, what are those things you have put on it now? The things that like.. stick out? They look like... weeds or flowers that have yet to bloom or are dead. Are they meant to be something like that? And one thing that I just noticed. It does not appear to have eyes or ears? Or a nose for that fact... Should it? Hmmm...

[Chainsy]

I just noticed the base for the skin... cracked desert ground brush anyone? :3

[DaneO'Roo]

Yeah, took the photo down the river near my place.

Your point being?

Wait a minute, did you just say the cracked texture was the base for the skin?

Heres what happens when I turn the layer off.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/6370/floodinfestdiffuserv0.jpg

Shit all.

[Chainsy]

Im wondering where you get those crazy ideas from, wouldve never thought to use a picture or a brush of a ground to make organic flesh.

[Bad Waffle]

it looks like a fucking flood form of an AT-ST walker

[DaneO'Roo]

Im wondering where you get those crazy ideas from, wouldve never thought to use a picture or a brush of a ground to make organic flesh.

Again, that layer is barely doing anything at all, other than the actual cracks. The layer itself is greyscaled and leveled up to absolute white and black.

I'm sick and tired of everyone expecting a quick fix for everything. Sure you can use photos sometimes as overlays, but make a character texture out of one? lmao, no sorry. You'll have to paint like the rest of us.

[Reaper Man]

Pure awesome. I love it. I'm curious as to what the eggs look like though. Mini, legless flood carriers?

[DaneO'Roo]

You'll see. They'll be a creature all of their own.

[Reaper Man]

:awesome:

[NuggetWarmer]

It'd be kinda cool if some kinda spider-headcrab combo flew out instead of eggs. Eggs kinda make me think of Mario. :S

[ICEE]

Well pardon me. Someone needs to chill out. When you make custom content, people are going to wonder how it works. That's just the way it is. You could be a little more mature and not go swearing to god just because someone asked a question. If it made you that upset you could have just ignored me.

[Heathen]

Then you'da asked 60 more times.

But yeah, I kinda read his reaction and was like "Shiiiit. Playa needs some time off"

Its cool though. I can see both sides of the argument.

[FluffyDucky™]

It'd be kinda cool if some kinda spider-headcrab combo flew out instead of eggs. Eggs kinda make me think of Mario. :S

Random bugs come out of no where? I'm sure seeing some ugly mother fucker of an egg drop out of wherever and explode into a bunch of little ugly flood people would be much more sufficient.

[DaneO'Roo]

Well its an egg, but it wont entirely look like one. Tweek gave me a cool idea. All I'll give, are the words maggot, shark egg, bubble, sack

[FluffyDucky™]

LMAO, sounds... interesting. :P

[Kalub]

I don't quite like how the wings/fins are so vibrant compared to the rest of the body whereas it looks decaying.

[Con]

Seems like it should have feelers coming out from under the hood like in a tank form.

[Chainsy]

Uhhh... I didnt mean it like that, I dont want a quick fix, I just thought it was neat you used a picture of a ground to get a crack skin look, never wouldve thought of it. And its obvious you would have to paint over it, or it would come out looking like the thing from fantastic 4. Im not that stupid.

[DaneO'Roo]

I don't quite like how the wings/fins are so vibrant compared to the rest of the body whereas it looks decaying.

wings are vibrant because they glow.

Also con, that's a good idea. I should do like a network of feelers in the inside of its mouth.

[DaneO'Roo]

Double post, but got an in class mouse painting of the egg Imma make:

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/7197/egguw0.jpg

suggestions?

[Bastinka]

Very nice, but doesn't look very 3-dimensional.

[DaneO'Roo]

It's a side on drawing...

[Bastinka]

D'oh.
Looks good, seeing as flood pure forms are symmetrical.

[Boba]

Are the fronds on it's 'back' sensory fronds or decorative fronds? :p

[DaneO'Roo]

a little from column a and a large fucking majority from column b

:haw:

[Reaper Man]

Needs more protruding bulges like a carrier form, has to look like it's gunna explode. Just my 2 cents.

[FluffyDucky™]

LOL, true. Also, I agree with reaper. But then again.. how big will they be if you put it in the pic of the guy and the mc?

[NuggetWarmer]

I still want spiders. Maybe have the "eggs" uncurl into a spider like thing. Oh, and it must screech when it attacks. >:U

[Hunter]

That would be good. Better than the stupid little things that explode on impact.

Instead, have a ball that uncurls into a flood spider, the size of a grunt or something...?

[Bad Waffle]

or have it EXPLODE into spiders! LE GASP!

[Malloy]

or maybe... considering this would be for SP..., if it is a direct hit to a friendly AI it turns them automatically, thus making your goal to take down the flying beasty as it will cause complications in the long run. If it does not directly hit just have it explode and do minor radius damage but with a cool flood 'gib' effect.

[Heathen]

You all seem rediculous. Silly children. MAEK IT NEWK SHIT.

[Con]

cant it just drop infection forms? Like a carrier, but less asplody :|

[Bastinka]

Yeah make it shit flood!

[Con]

actually since the thing is a flying vag, it would be giving birth

[Bastinka]

Well it could give birth and shit at the same time? ..maybe add an RPG attachement to it :-3

Looks good, it could be like a egg layer thing or transport of multiple flood..

[Bad Waffle]

god, there is so much lolariousness going on in this topic

Who the FUCK let you out of your cage.

Wait aren't the fronds the things that the flood use to smell and etc? If so why would an egg need them? Then again they pretty it up so I really don't have any complaints.

[Anton]

Once you skin/UVW Map it it will look fine. I like it, although some parts look too smooth. Maybe it's just me. :)

[DaneO'Roo]

Well it's not done, just checking to see if people like it's direction before i start doing fine detail.

[Heathen]

Looks like another vag.

[DaneO'Roo]

Well, its got like a spine/ribcage/mouth/vagina thing going at the moment. I love it.

:haw:

[HDoan]

Then I would, and now I COULD tap that.

[FluffyDucky™]

Well, its got like a spine/ribcage/mouth/vagina thing going at the moment. I love it.

Yeah, I was going to say it looks a bit skeletal.

[TeeKup]

USE IT.

Heh, I made it look a bit too...not flood looking, but i still like this.

Still fits with the art direction IMO, just needs some piss stain yellow color on it like the rest of the flood.

Basic textures done. I'll finish later in the week when I've freed up some homework.

Also, Polygon Cruncher for 3dsMax OWNS. I reduced the biped and the egg low poly models to around about 4000 and 500 triangles respectively, without affecting the uv coordinates or the silhouette of the models hardly at all.

[Hotrod]

Now that I see it textured, it actually looks quite Flood-ish, and like something I wouldn't want to touch, which is good.

[Rob Oplawar]

it needs to be extremely squishy and quivery and blobby. If you can rig and animate it like the exploding infection form pod scenery things from Halo 3, that would be awesome.

Hm, on that note, maybe it should be slightly translucent, with only a hint of some vaguely disturbing shape moving around inside it.

[LlamaMaster]

What rob said. It looks to bony and symmetrical.

[Hazard1337]

....Interesting. I like what Rob said about something being inside it, seems like it would fit.

[FireDragon04]

If i imagine it feeling/acting like a mix between a balloon filled with water and one of those 'squishy' flood things on the wall from halo 3 i can see it been very much like a flood 'object'.
Also just wanted to say i really like the flood form that 'flies' that looks really good.

[DaneO'Roo]

it needs to be extremely squishy and quivery and blobby. If you can rig and animate it like the exploding infection form pod scenery things from Halo 3, that would be awesome.

Uh, what? Squishy, quivery, those are kinesthetic properties, not entirely aesthetic properties. I'm primarily a 2d artist, and that is a STILL RENDER.

o_O

Hm, on that note, maybe it should be slightly translucent, with only a hint of some vaguely disturbing shape moving around inside it.

1 word for you.

Custom Edition. I have to think about polies here Rob. The actual flood form itself, then this thing as well, plus all the other shit in CMT, I have to think about performance for the average user. I'm not about to start sticking shit inside it.



also BioCroc, way to be a pompous git. I'm not even going to bother with that one.

Also you people are forgetting that flood pure forms are more symmetrical. I haven't even played halo 3 and I know that.

OH, FD, this flood egg will be dropped on mass from the big flying form, and when they hit the ground, since they will be AI, they will roll towards enemies. That's if we have time. Otherwise they'll just hit the ground, swell and explode.

[Gwunty]

http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/8267/floodinfestationegg1ai5.jpg


id hit that.
looks very well done :)

[Bastinka]

Maybe make some flood goo or like formation on the structure for the eggs to be incubated in?

[Heathen]

Cute.

[Pooky]

That's if we have time.

You're operating on a release date schedule now? :S

[Rob Oplawar]

Hey hey, no need to get your panties in a bundle. I was just making a suggestion about the direction you might take it ingame, and I realize that Blam 1 is old and has its limitations.

[DaneO'Roo]

@ silentwind PL

structure?

What??

Jesus Mcfucking christ. I've said 12 thousand time already, even once on this page, these eggs, come OUT of the BIG flood. They're NOT scenery.

Why would I go to the trouble of making stuff just for a render that no ones cares about?

[Corndogman]

I believe he said they would roll toward the enemy after they were dropped, but if they cant do that then they'll just explode when they hit.

It would be like the Antlion pods in HL2 that you throw at stuff to make them pop out and attack. Ha, but if you were to copy HL2 to a degree, that would be funny to have a ton of flood parasites come out of nowhere and attack whatever the grenade hit.

It's done. I'll have in game shots hopefully in the next week. I don't care what crits you people have at this point. It's turned out what I've aimed for and what the team wanted.

It will look much better in game. Trust me, I don't know how to render normal maps properly with ambient occlusion enabled, so there's some lack of depth there in those renders, but I just can't pass up the lovelyness aocc provides, so fucket, what yas gunna do.

[Reaper Man]

Dark render is dark D:

[Bodzilla]

looks good, but i'd do something like you normally do with your weapons, Every scratch has a story. So formulate mb a story that involves a slight Cut, or a faded small scar, hell mb even a weird mole somewhere.

Fine details really do count and i know ya busy, but these small things go a long long way to making it into a believeable character. From a glance at my face in person you'll notice some very small things that dont stand out yet are noticeable. Such as the mole i have on one side of my face.
my brothers got a small scar above his right eye where he hit a bag hook when he was in year 3.

hell even something as small as a nik from a razor when he was shaving.

[DaneO'Roo]

I'd do those things but I'm waitng to talk to the guy on the team who has the hi res mudbox mesh. Id do the stuff myself, but mudbox files are usually 200 mb + in size, so I'm just gunna tell the guy what sort of stuff I want on the face, and he can put it in the normal map, then I can put it into the diffuse and specular accordingly.


Dark render is dark D:

How'd you get it to not destroy you? :raise:

[Hotrod]

He probably gave it a tune-up in exchange for the monitor configuration.

[Corndogman]

Its because the grey background makes it really hard to see the dark black clothes, and since they're black in the first place it makes it hard to see the details on them unless its brighter.

But that really does look amazing Dane, the amount of detail is something id expect from a professional game studio.

[rossmum]

Wow, are Dane and I the only people here with normal monitors or something? It's not dark at all...

[Reaper Man]

Your monitor has never been normal (your idea of blue-gray has always appeared purple). My monitor, on the other hand, was configured with one of these. (http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3pro.php)

Your monitor has never been normal (your idea of blue-gray has always appeared purple). My monitor, on the other hand, was configured with one of these. (http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3pro.php)
You're a tool, my monitor is perfectly fine. 60/60/60 is medium grey, like it should be. Black is black, white is blinding fucking white, and grey is grey, not black. I honestly don't get why people complain things are so dark when they're not even close.

[Heathen]

...To my knowledge, my colors are what they are...


You guys are making me self conscious...

[BobtheGreatII]

I'm starting to feel the same way... :tinfoil:

[Rob Oplawar]

ross, admit it, you're wrong. If you're the only person who ever needs to deal with a certian image, then it's fine for you to take advantage of the insane contrast of your monitor, but some people do not have that benefit, and if your work is to be shared with others, you have to work around such limitations.

gosh.

e: bring it on, I'm not afraid of your neg repping might.

[legionaire45]

It's not dark at all to me either ;___;

BTW, saw this and some of the other stuff on ModDB. Awesome stuff is awesome. Good thing I have a copy of UT3, this is the first mod I've seen for it that has really interested me.

So...when are you going to texture the booby lady? xD

[Heathen]

I saw this LONG AGO on moddb but never thought it would meet me here.

Looks good man, and as always keep up the great work.

[Evil_Monkey]

Looking really nice, I like that head on the last pic :embarrassed:.

[thehoodedsmack]

Fucking hell! Those look rediculously nice!

[Hunter]

Now make them look that good in HaloCE :D That would kick Halo 3's ass. Awesome models as well.

[ICEE]

they look like action figures.

[TeeKup]

BADASS ELITES ARE BADASS.

[Heathen]

Noice.

[teh lag]

<3 as always, sexing up my models.




Wait, what's with the hexagons on assault helmet? Didn't notice them in your earlier renders D:

[DaneO'Roo]

I poot them there. Cause.


they look like action figures.

:words:

[Hotrod]

They are completely awesome, no doubt about it. I love the new helmet that looks kind of like the Heretic head.

[CodeBrain]

Teh Lag, models are horrible, burn them in a file shredder, and do it over again.

Dane, those bitmaps are fucking fail sauce, do it again.

If you didnt notice, that was all sarcasm. :P

[Hunter]

There are two things I don't like on the model actually. The feet seam weird

And the lower leg armer near the feet, it just seems... different from the rest of the armer, and out of place.

[Pooky]

Lookey what I did while I was banned :)

Models by Teh Lag, uv mapping and textures by me.

I don't like the back of the feet, they look like basketball shoes :\

Other than that, it looks awesome. These aren't going into SPv2 are they? Because jesus christ this is going to be hard on my PC with all that high res crap in it D: (not that that's a real complaint)

[DaneO'Roo]

It's not really hi res tbh.

[Pooky]

OH. it's just crap then :D

[killer9856]

I wonder what the Elites would look like in the Unreal Engine...:neckbeard:

[DaneO'Roo]

Hell, I was even thinking of asking lag if we could give the rigged model and textures to EvilEngine to see if he wanted to put get them working in UT3.


By the way, I'm currently trying to design a pseudo forerunner soldier/spartan.



This is what I have so far:

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9010/forerunnerspartanxn3.jpg

Fucking forerunner is a tricky cunt. It started out as really angular but looked failure, so I'm going by the curvy forerunner style that appeared in the pre xbox concept art for halo 1, and mixing it up with a bit of inspiration from the Elites armour.

[Con]

fix the helmet, it's too bulky

[Hunter]

Could I model it for you when done?

[Pooky]

I think it would look better in a dark grey camoflauge pattern than the green you're using.

[Malloy]

Could I model it for you when done?


i'd prefer to see 'Teh Lag' model this one as Dane n Teh Lag seem to be a good biped team as it is.

[Hunter]

:(

[SnaFuBAR]

looks too covie

[Heathen]

^

[ICEE]

It looks to much like an elite, but I like where your going with it. Remember that the sentinels recognized chief as a "reclaimer" because of his armor, so the mjolnir and the forerunner armor suits should have a similar appearance, preferably in the visor region. If you ask me, the helmet makes the suit's "character", and the visor is the coup de grace of the helmet, so it makes sense for the visor to look similar in shape and placement.

He also recognized Miranda as a Reclaimer, because of her armour? :downs:

[Rob Oplawar]

looks too covie

well, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that a large portion of Covie tech is reverse engineered from Forerunner tech, but you're right, there still should exist a strong stylistic distinction between the two.

[Heathen]

I think its because the Forerunners were the precursor to humans...or that their is time travel involved, which I am actually pretty hopeful it is.

[Pooky]

well, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that a large portion of Covie tech is reverse engineered from Forerunner tech, but you're right, there still should exist a strong stylistic distinction between the two.

Well remember that the Covenant thought it heretical to alter the Forerunner technology, so it's possible Forerunner weapons and armour looked very much like what the Covenant use

[thehoodedsmack]

I kind of liked not knowing what the Forerunner looked like. Added a nice mystery to it. Stop killing the magic! :p

[SnaFuBAR]

well, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that a large portion of Covie tech is reverse engineered from Forerunner tech, but you're right, there still should exist a strong stylistic distinction between the two.
Tech =! aesthetics

Tech =! aesthetics

[Pooky]

Tech =! aesthetics


Tech =! aesthetics
I didn't say Tech = aesthetics. By Forerunner technology, I meant whole technology. Whole guns, whole vehicles. Sure the Covenant might have changed the Forerunner armour to fit their races, and they might have purposely chosen the shiny blue colour of the plasma rifle, but it's entirely possible that other than mild alterations Forerunner equipment looked very much the same. Because again, technological alteration = heresy.

[NuggetWarmer]

I call modeling it! Bipeds are fun. :D

[Malloy]

^Teh Lag ftw

[NuggetWarmer]

Teh Lag can model it if he wants. :v I'm still going to model it, unless of course, Dane is going to model it. :O

[DaneO'Roo]

I may just. I was thinking of learning zspheres and zbrush with it.

Also, Pooky has nailed it on the head in terms of the direction I was taking with this thing. It's going to be covey like, but more the anatomy of a "being" that is a mix between elite and human, with more angular edges and more circuitry like details not unlike the sentinals. MY concept is a bit too curvy, granted, but when modelling time comes, It'll actually be a bit more edged and defined, and not clean and well kept like covie stuff is. Very ornamented and will also try to incorporate holograms into it somehow.

Also, I've been learning Material Expressions in Unreal Ed 3, made a nice forerunner texture material, heres a jewtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5K2Zw1w73Y)

Seriously, UE3 owns so hard it's not funny.

[Malloy]

yeh i fuckin 2nd that man.

[MMFSdjw]

Looks great! UE3's material system is awesome.
And you're material looks great too.
You know you can toggle realtime preivew for animated textures so you don't have to keep moving your mouse around like that. It's the three buttons right next to the three green checkboxes.

[DaneO'Roo]

Hah, didn't know that :P

Thanks :)

Also, I was playing wiht my PR skins in Unreal Ed, got some cool stuff happening:

My spin on a blackhawk helicopter.

It's a scenery piece only for the UT3 mod, Warm Gun, which is why the model itself isn't exactly true to concept or detail. There was a poly budget. Pipe down ok. I then did further put my own spin on it with the texture detailing, I don't know helicopters or aircraft ok, but fuck you.

I would like to just say, I skinned that entire thing in one day, today infact, from 9 am, till 10 pm ive been sitting on this dam chair, handpainting normals and textures ALL FUCKING DAY, since the thing was due tonight.

I know it's a bit rough in places, and it IS meant to be weathered and rusty, so don't go shooting your mouths off about that. I did this in one sitting, so it's not exactly perfect yet, but it'll do for now.

d) masterchief was never mentioned either

3) masterchief (http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj243/u399d299/ut3modelmasterchief3ee1wh3.jpg) is allready in Unreal Tournament 3 (http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/9961/ut32008100607210363js3.jpg), which uses the "Gears of War Engine (http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/470/ut32008100607210362eg8.jpg)", just fyi

Scenery object that has been sitting in the one outdoor open place for god knows how long, in a desert blown war ravaged landscape. The team actually wanted it rustier and covered in more sand.

[Rob Oplawar]

I'm not gonna say it's amazing, but it's good for the amount of time you put into it. If it's just a scenery object for the background, I offer my questionably valuable approval.

Fuck, I need to finish that ******* so you can skin it.

[ICEE]

Looks far overdone. To much rust, grime, etc. It looks like someone parked it in the Vietnamese jungle and left it for 3 years.

It's like you're daring someone to criticize it :\

[DaneO'Roo]

>_>

It's fucking supposed to be rusty you moron. The thing has been sitting outside in the one place for over 50 years in the mods storyline. It's a dilapidated scenery prop. It's not meant to be usable. I thought I mentioned this.

My team wants it to be even rustier and dirtier than that. For the level it's going in, this thing should actually be covered in dirt from head to toe.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/COLD_5.jpg


I'm really fucking sick and tired of people in this community not being able to see the direction of something. I'm sick of having to fucking explain everything.

[BobtheGreatII]

I think Dane has gone mad with power...

:tinfoil:

[DaneO'Roo]

I've gone mad from stupid posts like yours. Theres nothing to do with power. Any power you think I have is a projection from your own personal inferiority and insecurities and your need to require a scapegoat.

[Heathen]

Well when you made the 50 years comment I was like "Oh...then its not rustic enough >.>"

[ICEE]

You need to chill. No one here gives a crap about your bad attitude. Grow some balls and deal with "stupid" criticism like a man or don't fucking bother to post your work. Your always making last minute excuses to cover your ass. If you had said it was supposed to have 50 years of dilapidation instead of just saying "its supposed to be a bit rough in places" in the first place then you wouldn't have to get in these little tissy fits.

[BobtheGreatII]

You need to chill.


Yeah, really dude.

I love your work, and have never said anything otherwise. But you blowing up at a community who is here to give crit (even if it's bad) doesn't even make sense. You give off the impression that all you want is someone to say something nice to you, and if they don't they can fuck off.

Wait, who's covering who's ass?


it IS meant to be weathered and rusty

Seems pretty clear to me. Frankly, unless you know exactly what the purpose is it's not a good idea to give stylistic criticism and then be angry when it's brushed away like that. It's not a matter of growing balls, it's a matter of being put off by having to explain every little detail to people to avoid them talking about stuff that isn't "crit" at all. Style is incredibly subjective past a certain point, and unless you're the one who came up with the vision you're in no place to call out people for not having "balls" for disagreeing with your comments. That goes triple when he did explain that the style was meant to be beat up - it's not up to you where "weathered and rusty" becomes too much, because it's not your vision.

Yes, Dano might have been more agressive than necessary, but that's what happens when you always have to explain what the style is because people focus on it rather than the actual content.

[Rob Oplawar]

Try one of those chill strips. You put it on your tongue, it dissolves, chill. :cool:

[DaneO'Roo]

You need to chill.

You need to stop hanging around these forums waiting to troll me.

Yes, I know all about it. I know all about certain members posting habits, who they rep, who they minus rep, who they cling with, who they flame. Theres allways a trend, and I've noticed yours.

No one here gives a crap about your bad attitude.

My attitude is a reaction to pure good ole fashion stupidity. Quit with your fence bearing straight and true attitude. Your not in any position to deal out assumptions and judgments on behalf of the many. Who the fuck are you anyway?

Grow some balls and deal with "stupid" criticism like a man or don't fucking bother to post your work.

I deal with criticism fairly, what I don't deal with, is wave after wave of braindead banter that seems to miss the fucking point so dam much I have to spell it out for everyone. I post something, and you all seem to invent your own context for it. What the fuck.

Your always making last minute excuses to cover your ass.

No, I'm having to spell out every last detail to satisfy the fucking bumhuddle of shitty critique bandwagoners after i've posted something, because they invent their own direction for something, even though they never actually fucking made the dam thing so they wouldn't have a dam clue.

If you had said it was supposed to have 50 years of dilapidation instead of just saying "its supposed to be a bit rough in places" in the first place then you wouldn't have to get in these little tissy fits.
"Scenery object that has been sitting in the one outdoor open place for god knows how long, in a desert blown war ravaged landscape. The team actually wanted it rustier and covered in more sand."

I said that before you posted your first comment, therefore your argument is null.

You clearly just look at pictures, make assumptions based on how YOU would like the thing to look, don't fucking read, then you try to defend yourself by taking the "righteous indignation dollar" and attempt to corner me into some "holier than thou" gargoyle pit, when it is in fact, as I said earlier, you projecting because somewhere along the line I've pissed you off somewhere, wether it's here or at halomaps. Your biased.

Frankly, unless you know exactly what the purpose is it's not a good idea to give stylistic criticism and then be angry when it's brushed away like that.

I'm not angry that he doesn't take my criticism. I don't care about the outcome of this project of his, I was only giving an opinion based on the information given, and of course, the picture. What irritates me is his attitude about criticism. It's all too easy to ignore posts, but he insists on being childish and attacking people.

On another similar occasion, on halomaps the other day, that wave of posts that he and masterz called "retarded" was entirely Danes fault. He posted a picture with a bunch of "conditions" that changed the appearance of the elite's shielding, plasma flares, glowing sword, etc, and without any explanation. Then he and masterz explode on the curious and uninformed replies like little children.



it's not up to you where "weathered and rusty" becomes too much, because it's not your vision.

If someones going to take that attitude, then why even post work?


Yes, Dano might have been more agressive than necessary, but that's what happens when you always have to explain what the style is because people focus on it rather than the actual content.

No, thats what happens your immature and recieve an unfavorable reply. What confounds me is that so many other members react exactly the same to criticism and get neg-repped to hell and banned for it. Terror and hunter are some pretty good examples of that. Yet its perfectly acceptable when Dane does it. Isn't that funny?

They earned their shit, no one else did it to them. They posted crap, they got crap back. I post decent work, I get crap. How the fuck do you expect to act. I didn't fucking eat all day, I didn't sleep, I sat in the one chair for 13 hours and then I have to deal with ignorant bullshit, when I decide to show my fellow communers something. No.


Yet its perfectly acceptable when Dane does it. Isn't that funny?

And it all comes out.

Learn to understand context and analyze sentences Dane. Until then your not even worth arguing with.

[Corndogman]

[Again, people judging things that weren't the actual content of the picture. The picture was to show that the elites were infact, ingame. The rest wasn't relevent.

The thing is, you never explained that in the first place, you just posted the picture. So you really cant blame people for asking questions about it when there was no explanation in the first place. There was no need to blow up on people it.

Also there was no reason to blow up at Bob either, it was quite obviously a joke.

[mech]

Dane protip, it's good to keep mod stuff to your mod team, it's cool to show stuff off some times, but when you do be ready to get an ear full from ignorant fools that have no idea of what game design is; Or the good old worthless comments "OMGAOMGAOG GREAT STUFF I HAVE BONER FOR U"



.

Mech's 2.5 cents.

[Chainsy]

[Adding onto mech's]
But also consider the crit from the small minority of people who do know what they're talking about, and try not to be overly defensive as the line between the 2 can easily become blurred and someone who does have the best intentions at heart might get confused with a trolling ignant. Just take every crit form every point of view and actually take the time to revise what they're saying, don't automatically dismiss it.

[Kalub]

I love it, but I think you went a little crazy with the paneling. Could you be bothered to add some color to the diffuse? Like a drab of olive green, or gun metal black. It just seems to silver for my tastes.

[Tweek]

[Adding onto mech's]
But also consider the crit from the small minority of people who do know what they're talking about.

yes, except ironclad isnt one of those people.

[Con]

I agree with kalub, there's far too many panels on that thing. It gives me the impression that it's a transformer with 6 inch think submarine armour plating. Peeling green paint would be hot too.

Now that is criticism. It's based on objective open mindness and observation, not subjective personal reflections and misinformed ignorant hatemongering bullshit.



OBJECTIVELY PEOPLE. NOT SUBJECTIVELY.

QUESTION, DON'T STATE.



Anyway, Con, Croccy, I agree. Thing is though, It'd be way too hard for me to change it now. I'd be better off restarting the whole thing, which I CBA to do. I could, just change the bump map and repaint the diffuse, but maybe at a later point when I have more shit free'd up.

Btw, just to point it out, it doesn't really have near enough panels, the problem is that the panels I do have are way too defined and the edges are too thick, so they really pop out. What I needed was more fine ones and less thick ones. The fact that the nature of the piece is rusty and dirty doesn't help the lines either, because they fill up with rust and water marks, so they get accentuated more in the diffuse. My bad really, but if my team doesn't mind, I don't mind.

I'm also going to add some camo pattern to it I think, It'll be quite faded and scratched up, but it should introduce enough colour variation to keep it looking interesting. I don't want it to blend in too much, but I don't want it to pop out, I don't want people to see it, I want them to notice it, that way it's more fluid and natural.


Also, I agree with Mech.

I also disagree with Chains, because Tweek is right.

[Bodzilla]

Your sounding like an absolute douche bag dane, if you where in the same room as me, i'd slap you right now.

theres no need, reason or excuse to carry on the way you are, Get yourself under control and re-assess why you do what you do.

E: look i'm not trying to start a fight or what ever, i just cant stand temperamental people, at all and dane has been increasingly becoming more and more aggressive over really stupid and petty shit for the last 6 months.
Theres a cause and effect, yes... but there wasnt any need for that shit.

it makes you appear to be a little 13yr old girl.
and after all
the more you flip out..... the more you will flip out.

Dane has a point though. Anything he makes he has to explain which I have noticed. It was a bit agressive. But I can see why when people don't use their imagination.

-----------------------------------

It you post crit then at least make it formal and say how YOU would improve it.

but this has been an on-going thing hunter, it's not a spur of the moment or rash slip of character if this has been happening increasingly with worsening levels of aggression.
It's to the state where it's hard to tell if he's just slipped up a bit and lost control, or whether this is the new dano.

I havnt realy noticed him getting aggressive. Maybe something is going on in his social life...?

/end discusion.

I wonder if Dane would be interested in texturing a Halo 3 scarab.

i'm part of his social life rofl

I never said iron clad was one of those people,and with tweek agreeing with me on that, dane, then you are technically agreeing with me. :rolleyes:

I guess it might be too late to play with the model but on the door lets say you might want to put a plan there with a seperate bitmap that has an opacity map. I have seen a few cars in the woods that are totally rusted out and a helicopter in this environment I'm sure would be too.
