[SnaFuBAR]

Also, I need help, which colours, I can't decide:

First one. Second one has too covenant-esque of colours.

[Hunter]

OMG Dane. You really need to make a game, you could totally make one which would sit on bungies... as long as you have a good engine.

You are actually way better than all of the bungie team I think.

I prefer the 2nd one. Don't know why, just has something to it, and it is nice and bright.

And I can't +rep you :( Sorry.

[Monopoly]

Get your face out of Dane's buttcheeks.

[Hunter]

But I like the butt cheeks. Just kidding Lol.

I'm only being honest though, his stuff is better than bungies.

[Chainsy]

Veex, dont post the spartan laser until doan quits being lazy and fixes the errors, instead of covering them up in a crappy way.

I think I'm liking the second one more, but I'm not sure :gonk:

First one definitely, it feels more flood-like.

[Invader Veex]

:confused2:

The post before Dano's with the first pic of textured engineer flood.

Removing Till UVs are better.

[Hunter]

:( I was just about to have a look.

And Dane, where does your flood breath from? Because I think it would look awesome with some gills on the side of it, it looks like that are some now but you can't make them out much.

[Heathen]

I am liking the second one more.

[DaneO'Roo]

Get your face out of Dane's buttcheeks.

Thank you. Hunter, praising me somehow isn't going to improve your work, if that's why you do all this.

And I'm no where near bungie. How could you even say that. I wasn't trying to outdo anyone, all I wanted to do was bring a concept to life.

[Hunter]

Omg. I wasn't trying to be an arse licker. And I know your weren't trying to outdo anyone. That was my opinion on you stuff. I thought it looks extremely good. And IMO, Personal, In my mind, I thought it look better than bungies stuff.

Am I okay giving you all my opinion?

[Heathen]

Stop this before it gets stupid please.

[Hunter]

Okay. Pins are pulled in my sig :lol:

[Bastinka]

<flood goes here>
basic texture and normal map are done, once I finish the normal map fully, then I'll finish the diffuse and then the specular and so on and so fourth. Once the main body is done, then I'll work on the petal wings and the decorator tentacles.
It looks a lot like a tree, not very much like a fleshy gruesome thing as most flood look like. Interesting stuff though, it could be this PC as it displays some pictures really dark but from what I see it doesn't look very fleshy. More like a tree texture than a flood texture.

EDIT:

I'm only being honest though, his stuff is better than bungies.
Nothing is better than bungies. Well maybe EPIC's stuff, correct me if I'm wrong about EPIC making the textures and models for GoW/UT3.

[Chainsy]

Whoever makes resistance could outdo bungie in my opinion, cant wait for number 2.

[Heathen]

No, I completely agree. GOW is gorgeous.

[Bastinka]

GoW just could use a bight more color variances, also I'm not completely colorblind just Red-Green colorblind AKA 'Daltonism' (http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=7255).

[Chainsy]

That sucks, the red green colors on my labtop on extremely vibrant, wish you could see.

[ExAm]

GoW just could use a bight more color variances, also I'm not completely colorblind just Red-Green colorblind AKA 'Daltonism' (http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=7255).Set the color filter to "vibrant" in the settings.

Must be your screen then. Or your eyes.

[Chainsy]

Especially since it has alot of red and green.

[Bastinka]

Must be your screen then. Or your eyes.
Probably the combination of both because darker colors make it harder for me to tell differences between the red and the green even harder than I see so it looks like a treebark brown to me..

[FluffyDucky™]

It's like, too shiny? The green looks almost metallic on the bottom half of it anyway. The wings are coming along very nicely though I was going to criticize you on that. The first two wings are realistic with being able to see through the gaps. I'm guessing you just haven't got around to doing it to the rest yet? But yeah good job so far. Make sure to place a lot of emphasis on the wings, as they are the main feature of your idea. The better you expand on that, the better it will be. I'm sure you have plans though, but yeah. :)

Edit: maybe even make the wings look more.. "light" in terms of weight. More... soft, not so much the muscular form of the wings. (don't know how else to put it)

[DaneO'Roo]

Uh, all the wings use the same bitmap and shader....

You can't see through them because they're nothing behind them.....:logic:

and the green is because of the lighting I put in there.

http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/5069/floodinfestation1uw3.jpg

anyone scared yet?

[Malloy]

that looks awsome.... i beleive there is a way to get heightmaps (bumps) to work on bipeds ingame... if you could downgrade the normal map.

[Pooky]

Whoa... this thing didn't seem that intimidating until you showed the scale. WTF gigantic floody vagina :phonegonk:

[Hunter]

That thing is scary...

You best put that in SPv2 Lol.

[Malloy]

you should blatently call it... Flood impregnator, it sucks its prey into its valve and takes their infected form.

just a less petty way of the flood spore, oh and form scale the flood infecties should be massive and butch like UT3 characters

[Chainsy]

To me, it should have more congealed blood and open wounds with shreds of skin missing, because all in all, a flood is a zombie, and all zombies need some gore.

[Bastinka]

It looks green at the bottom? :S

I'm pretty sure it's not my eyes.

[LlamaMaster]

Looks too green to me, like it's covered in moss or something.

[ExAm]

To me, it should have more congealed blood and open wounds with shreds of skin missing, because all in all, a flood is a zombie, and all zombies need some gore.
The Flood organism is NOT a zombie. The Flood MAKES zombies. Reanimated corpses decay around the infection form inside, but the infection form itself does not decay. Pure forms are not zombies either, since they are actual Flood tissue, not reanimated flesh.

[Bastinka]

The flood does NOT re-animate the dead to be exact, for the last time go read up on it. What they do is just act as sort of a cancer by burying themselves into the hosts body to find the spine, the highway to the brain, and in finding it they cause the muscles to grow and expand in an extremely quick way. Making it easy to see the vains, combat forms most likely have 1 'hammer' arm that they use for fighting. Also leg muscle's are basically powered up for jumping and running.

..from what I remember. The flood is 'sort of' a zombie in a way, but it kills instead of eating brains. Also, pure forms were created by the forerunner if I remember. Correct me if I'm wrong :hist101:

[FluffyDucky™]

It's more bio-chemical. Not like the movie 28 weeks/days later. So the colors are appropriate... but if we look at an actual flood... maybe incorporate some colors that are there. Like the light browns..

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20050727/flood.jpg

These ones do have green in them... but more light browns or whatever you would call that. They need to look more.. dead?

[DaneO'Roo]

do you people fucking read?

I said the green was from the god dam lighting.

>_>

[Disaster]

Even I new that >_>

or did I?

[Malloy]

ha, in retrospect of that screenshot, i sorta forgot what shade/colour the flood were.

Dane, the Halo 1 flood do look alot more pale in skin tone than your creature, but my mind is fuzzy towards Halo 2/2 which may have been your influences, i dno.

so yeh, if designed for halo 1 scheme make it paler if not, it looks awsome.

do you intend to put it in a CE SP map?

[ExAm]

These ones do have green in them... but more light browns or whatever you would call that. They need to look more.. dead?I'm assuming what he's making is some pure form of flood, which is by no means dead at all. It's all living tissue that doesn't decay. There's a difference between a flood using a host and a flood on is own. The host decays due the infection form's energy needs and massive and damaging genetic mutation. The form inside does not.

[DaneO'Roo]

and bingo was his name-o

[Roostervier]

I thought it was an infected engineer? :confused:

[Boba]

Maybe you have already said something towards this topic, but are these non-combat or combat?

[DaneO'Roo]

It WAS going to be an infected engineer, than I thought it was a bit too silly to have the thing as big as it is, yet still have spawned from an engineer, so I'm just making it a pure form now.

I'd call them heavy combat if anything boba. These bastards are pretty much flying flood bombers, dropping eggs that explode on contact, that will try to slam you with its big arms if you get too close.

Sorry for crappy render. Max wasn't rendering correctly today.

[Bastinka]

Wireframe, also pelvic armor and chest armor seem a bit small.

[NuggetWarmer]

Dunno why it'd seem small. I scaled the hard parts(helmet, legs, chest) to the actual H3 model.

Also just noticed a part I have to fix. :o

[Heathen]

It does look...off. The chest part is thicker off his chest Im sure. Also, the bulge is lower I think.

[TeeKup]

In Halo 3 it looked like they bulked his arms up a bit more, so this looks almost right. But the chest does look a tad small.



..from what I remember. The flood is 'sort of' a zombie in a way, but it kills instead of eating brains. Also, pure forms were created by the forerunner if I remember. Correct me if I'm wrong :hist101:

Very good point. I didn't think of it like that, lmao.

[legionaire45]

Everyone should head over to Bungie's publications page and read their "Flood Anatomy" article since it gives a lot of detail about the Flood.

I decided to start this one over a little while ago and now I'm finally happy with the stock.

Next up: the other half of the stock, then the details (trigger, magazine, etc.) and then the barrel and firing stuff. Then I get to pimp it out with rims and shit, yo.

After this I think I'll get that fucking MP7 into CS:S as a skin like I said I would do decades ago.

[Bastinka]

Why now just call it the A.W.S. Magnum?
There's not really that much to comment on, it looks good although I dont get the 'cut in' in the front. That looks silly.

[Rentafence]

You could have saved a ton of polies on the grip, and the indented circular part near where the bolt would be.

[ExAm]

I don't think he's worrying about saving polies.Look at the amount of detail in there.

[legionaire45]

Blame Ross, he made me do it >=U
<3
The cut is in there for the little clip thingy that pokes through for the strap. Right now I'm aiming for 8,000 to 10,000 triangles unoptimized and will clean it up from there. This thing is going to be very very very very detailed and smooth hopefully.

[rossmum]

idgaf about polies, yo. This is for Source, and Source can handle polies good. I want huge detail.

[DaneO'Roo]

The shaders and lighting do look good, but the water needs to be alot less blue, and your uvmapping or something needs to be fixed. That second image looks woefull. If those are bungies uvw mappings though, I guess theres nothing you can do about it.

[Kalub]

>_> It's Bungie's

[TeeKup]

I'm loving that atmosphere Veex. Halo, in the Autumn. Someone released a map called Equinox a long time ago over at Halomods. It was the level Halo, but he achieved a perfect Autumn atmosphere. Perhaps if you can find him and ask him what he did you can do with same with the Silent Cartographer.

[Invader Veex]

Thanks, TeeKup. I guess I have a new theme for this :3 Already found the thread that Halomods.

By the way, water has been changed. I think it actually looks much more realistic than it did.

[TeeKup]

Glad I was able to help. I'm anxious to see what you can do further.

It's definitely an improvement over your previous animations. It's got a very 'Halo 2' feel. The left hand looks a bit off the way the fingers barely move. I don't know about you but I don't keep my fingers stiff under many circumstances, especially not when reloading a gun.

Nice stuff, I really like the closeup of the rock, looks like a photo of a cliff taken with a selective focus lens. The bee photo seems a bit underexposed, but it's pretty sharp which is awesome. The background is somewhat distracting as the depth of field, although low, could be lower, but I guess, seeing as you're shooting with a compact powershot, there are limitations to that. Could be further enhanced with some photoshop lens blur maybe. Also, next time you scale a photo down, use bicubic sharper interpolation as it wont give you blurred details.

Also, when shooting with bright backlighting like that, try metering with the centre-weigted meter or even the spot meter, instead of the default matrix.

Here's what it should look like properly exposed (also added a tad bit of sharpening). It got a bit noisier due to pushing the exposure.

Ooohhhhh, I has a pretty picture too!
[photo]
Whatchu think?

Not a big fan of it. Dragging up the contrast of a photo to make the colours all 'pretty' does not equal a good photo. The subject of your photo (the dumpster) is potentially interesting, but the way you composed it seems as if you just walked up, took a shot and waked away. What you did with the contrast completely blew out the highlight detail on the lid of the dumpster. To be honest, if you're going for the high contrast look, chances are it'll probably look better in black and white.

Another tip is to shoot the details, instead of the whole scene. A dumpster like that is covered in interesting textures of paint and rust with graffiti on top, try taking close ups of these that suggest a dumpster, but not actually show it. You could even include a bit of the background to show some context.

At the very least, unless intended, keep keep horizontal lines horizontal, the top of the dum

[Corndogman]

Thanks for the tips reaper man, also I would have taken more pictures of it, but i took it out of the car window as we were pulling out of a gas station. It was just something that caught my eye so I snapped it.

I know the contrast kinda of ruined the lid of the dumpster but the photo was pretty boring before I edited it. BUt thanks for the advice I'll keep it in mind next time i take pretty pictures.

Yeah, the bee one was kind of rushed because I didn't want to fumble around changing settings/exposure lest the thing fly away. The picture you see is actually edited in PS already because the exposure was quite low. I'll try the PS lense blur, good idea. Also imageshack resized it for me, bastards :shakefist:

Thanks for the tips Reaper <3

edit: I could always find some sort of lens to decrease the DOF. I don't know much about lenses at all, all I know is my camera can use:
"separately sold Wide Converter WC-DC52, Tele-converter TC-DC52A and Close-up Lense 250D (52mm). In order to attach these lenses, you also need to use the separately sold Conversion Lens Adaptor LA-DC52G"

Atleast I have a mini-tripod :haw:

[Reaper Man]

I guess the close up lens or the tele-converter would do it, but I really wouldn't bother with conversion lenses right now to be honest. Plus they're usually a rip-off.

Also, corndog, I don't think I've seen any other photos you've taken. Got any you'd wanna post? I'm curious.

[Corndogman]

This whole "fancy camera" thing is a misconception. You don't need a fancy camera to take good photos. A fancy camera, like, say an SLR allows you to be more creative because of technical freedom, as well as producing higher quality images.

Check this guy out, these were taken with a cameraphone. Sure he'll never get good prints from them, but they sure look great online. http://flickr.com/photos/davidhelan/sets/1304592/


Your photos aren't bad, I like the waterfall one and the one of the wood beam.

Im going to take the plunge and ask for criticism on my gravity hammer skin.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z295/iron_clad_photo/Hammer.jpg

I purposely made inaccuracies to halo 3 (in the skin, the ones in the model aren't intentional but IDGF) because I wanted to use my own sort of design. Its very grimy and scratched up because thats cruise control. Crit please, but be gentle I've never really made a weapon skin before.

Uvw and skin by me, model by Donut (who isn't looking for criticism on the model)

The resolution is 1024.

[Con]

The metal seems kind of contrasty in some areas

[ICEE]

it is partly the low quality render, but I think your talking about crosshatched area above the grip?

[Con]

Not what I meant, but those white lines on that seem out of place. What I was talking about was how on the blade at the back there are areas where it's almost completely black or dark. Some areas seem brightened and overdone. Looks like you've used with the burn and dodge tool a little too much.

[ICEE]

oh those areas on the blade are actually dark green. meant to be slime or something. I made that with the thought of brutes chopping through trees in mind

[Con]

lumberjack brutes? lol

edit: brb while I PS a lumberjack brute.

[Heathen]

Looks TOO grungie. Looks good as far as the personal changes go, but you might wanna make it look cleaner. It was a good creative direction to go, but it seems too splotchy.

Malloy: Looks like a beyblade rink thing or a pokemon stadium.

[Rentafence]

I think it's supposed to be the teleporter base from Chillout

[Con]

Soft highlights and shadows, and lack of detail make it look plasticy. Just go look at some metallic surfaces on google vs plastic ones, you'll see the difference. Scratches are another good way to show it's metal, since plastic just dents or gouges and remains the same colour.

[Malloy]

[Higuy]

Battle ship is auesome disaster!

[Sever]

No, his battleship isn't. Don't get me wrong, the model's not bad at all, the functionality of the design is simply horrible. If he would've taken an hour to look at actual photos and schematics before trying to model one, the current stage of his product would make sense. I can tell you straight off that none of the turret clusters are even close to being efficient, and the main cannon is just atrociously set up. Seriously, Disaster, take a bit of time to study what you are attempting to emulate - learn how things work, and why they are made that way. Talk to me about it if you need help.

[Bastinka]

Malloy's teleporter thing is pretty neat, just needs some more metallic look to the texture.

Disaster your battleship looks kind of goofy and cartoony, I don't like it very much it's just missing something..

Chains your hammer lacks dimension (I.E. It looks flat and boring.) and the color scheme is off. Theres also too many random brush strokes and the shading is done wrong.. or the attempt at it atleast.

[ExAm]

No, his battleship isn't. Don't get me wrong, the model's not bad at all, the functionality of the design is simply horrible. If he would've taken an hour to look at actual photos and schematics before trying to model one, the current stage of his product would make sense. I can tell you straight off that none of the turret clusters are even close to being efficient, and the main cannon is just atrociously set up. Seriously, Disaster, take a bit of time to study what you are attempting to emulate - learn how things work, and why they are made that way. Talk to me about it if you need help.Er, I don't think he's trying to emulate any specific battleship in particular :|
I like the design, it looks stylized without regard for practicality. My kind of thing. I make belt fed sniper rifles :downs:

[Chainsy]

Malloy's teleporter thing is pretty neat, just needs some more metallic look to the texture.

Disaster your battleship looks kind of goofy and cartoony, I don't like it very much it's just missing something..

You seem to mix up what Im doing here, Im doing a side reference for easy modeling, and front and a top and bottom, why would I make it an annoying angle for the modeler to do? Also painting for this does not require full details such as making it the engravings detailed, as you can tell theyre ingravings, and uh last time I checked paintings are made up of brush strokes. Maybe you should go look at some paintings, and zoom in on them, and youll see random lines, that from far away for things such as fire, clothes, alot of things. Also we already mentioned about color scheme, if you read my post and there was no need to state it again. Please by all means show us some of your recent work and if its better then mine with perspective, shading, dimension, not made out brush strokes, then Ill happily shut up.

This whole "fancy camera" thing is a misconception. You don't need a fancy camera to take good photos. A fancy camera, like, say an SLR allows you to be more creative because of technical freedom, as well as producing higher quality images.

Check this guy out, these were taken with a cameraphone. Sure he'll never get good prints from them, but they sure look great online. http://flickr.com/photos/davidhelan/sets/1304592/


Your photos aren't bad, I like the waterfall one and the one of the wood beam.

Yeah I know what you mean about the camera, but I've used my friends nice SLR cameras and it definitely feels better. but im obsessed with high res. thats one thing i like about my camera its 12mp so the images are usually really sharp.


Those two are my favourites, especially the first one.

Yeah those are two of my favorites too. Thanks for the compliments and crit guys.

Megapixels mean nothing. Once you have a camera that's over five megapixels, the others are pretty unnecessary, unless you plan on making really really large prints. 12mp ≠ sharpness, 12mp = higher pixel density = increased noise due to tiny point and shoot sensor (12mp on DSLR used to mean more noise, however, with current generations of DSLR, noise doesn't become a major issue until you start pushing your ISO past 3200 - Nikon D700/D3 are exceptions to this due to full frame sensors). Lens quality is way more important than sensor resolution.

Haven't started the hair properly yet, and I've gotta hit the team up for the correct shade of everything (not sure on the colour of the leathers). He's sposed to be a kind of "god bless satan!" nutcase cold wierdo preacher, so he's gotta look seedy. He also houses the 2 revolvers I showed in my gallery thread. (http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9095/revolvers2un0.jpg) I also haven't done the gun holsters either yet, not sure if the team wants them ornamented to represent the guns, or just plain old leather or something.

Personally I think whoever on the team did the hi res for the normal map, didn't put much effort into the hair >_>

[OmegaDragon]

Looks awesome so far, though the back side looks kinda flat, unless that is going to be changed in game to make it move freely (at least I think that's for a game o.o)

Coat tails are handled by physics.

[Rob Oplawar]

He's very very flat.
quote for emphasis.
e: skin is decent, but imo it doesn't make up for what is a very boring model. Maybe when he's moving, with the coat tails trailing behind him, but in the default biped working pose it's just... boring. Looks like, fuck how do you spell it, Gumby? Gumbi? He just has that artificial, smoothed-clay feel to him.

[DaneO'Roo]

Actually the ambient occlusion made him look quite flat, cause it sort of softened the normal map a fair bit, but added a bit of realism to the lighting.

[Reaper Man]

His skin seems way too smooth, I think you should try a more textured, rugged look, as his perfect skin seems out of place with the rest of the character.

[DaneO'Roo]

Well, I figured his clothes would be dirty and worn and not his face cause clothes don't heal and repair themselves. I could add some dirt and grease to his face I guess, but I just don't want it to totally take away from him. He's not sposed to be a grubby man, hes just a creepy preacher who has hidden motives with the satanic.

www.warmgun.ca

If you read up on the premise of the mods backstory, It may make more sense. I will try and grub up his face though just to see if I like it.

[Bodzilla]

no you dont need to make his face dirty, just more weathered. If he's wearing clothes like that then he's clearly spent toom uch time out doors and in the sun.
needs a more tarnished face to suit him

he's very pale. Also, his hat looks to perfect. I would make it a little more worn and weathered. Think indiana jones

[rossmum]

Rifle butt should be in contact with shoulder, should be leaning into rifle, etc.

[DEElekgolo]

He is leaning into the rifle.. I made sure of that using IK solvers. If rifle butt touches the shoulder then the arm would be at a very acute angle and the gun would go through the chest permution.

[rossmum]

He's not leaning into it, look at his spine; he's leaning away from it.

[ExAm]

His eyes are kinda far away from the scope, don'tcha think?

[ICEE]

what are you asking for criticism on? your ripped model or the bad positioning?

[JunkfoodMan]

His rendering/materials, and the position perhaps?

[PenGuin1362]

He's not leaning into it, look at his spine; he's leaning away from it.

Ross is right. If you were to try and fire a .50 caliber rifle like that, not only would your shoulder be so bruised you might break the skin open, you would be knocked flat on your ass. Armor aside, he should be leaning forward and the rifle needs to make contact with his shoulder otherwise it just looks natural and retarded.

[rossmum]

Unnatural, you mean, and it's actually 14.5mm so that'd be even worse :p

[ICEE]

DEE, its ok for the rifle to clip his shoulder a little bit for the sake of realism in the pose. as long as its not incredibly obvious no one will notice.

[Pooky]

I have no idea how someone could see through that ugly fucking helmet anyway.

[ICEE]

How couldn't you? the visor is big enough for a fucking shark tank. A little offtopic, but how does that make the helmet equally as protective as the helmets that are actually made of metal?

[Pooky]

How couldn't you? the visor is big enough for a fucking shark tank.

My bad, I meant see through a scope in that ugly fucking helmet :p

Seems like even if you mashed the scope against the visor it'd still be pretty far away from your actual eyes.

[ICEE]

oh, yes. I don't think a single helmet in the game would really allow you to get close to the scope. Maybe thats why you can zoom in 5x when you don't have a scoped weapon and only 2x when you do. sniper excluded

[ExAm]

oh, yes. I don't think a single helmet in the game would really allow you to get close to the scope. Maybe thats why you can zoom in 5x when you don't have a scoped weapon and only 2x when you do. sniper excludedProlly why that particular rifle comes equipped with a screen :v:

[BobtheGreatII]

I always just figured that the zoom was displayed in the hud, and not from actually looking through the scope... I thought the scope was only there for the marines. :eyesroll:

Not saying that that's the case, just what I always thought.

Right you are, smart-linked it is.

[Malloy]

i suppose using that model as a concept, someone else could replicate that model in a gamecompile and poly friendly way.

looks nice just looks like it could do with some smoothing and sight with the extrusions looks a tad ugly.

[Higuy]

Needs more smoothing and it would look at lot better.

[Chainsy]

Yes, no smoothing has been apllied yet, and for the scope it just seemed bland, and I didnt know what detail I could really put on it, so I just did that.

[Malloy]

sometimes too many cooks spoil a broth.

i think it'd look nice with a slight gradient change on it mb? so it cones towards the middle.

[Chainsy]

Like a sniper scope? This scope isnt for veiwing straight from the eye, though you can, the monitor hooked inbetween the handles lets you see out of those scopes, the smaller one being infared, also has a panel for various commands. This also allows compatibility for mounting on apcs, with the pasenger controlling it through remote control inside of apc, using the monitor to see through the scopes and properly aim. Your probably wondering why else I did this, the gun has a large recoil, and the shells eject out of the back, so your positioned beside the gun, so the monitor and scope help you aim better with the scope being closer to the middle. Also keeps you form straining oyur back leaning over the equipment to look at the scope.

The latter

http://www.a-human-right.com/pistols/tt33left.jpg

[Bastinka]

So it is a plain gun. Nice model then.

[rossmum]

Oh, and don't put the safety on, whatever you do. TT-33s don't have a safety, but they have to have one added to be imported to the US (also hence the the stampings on the slide, which aren't Russian by any stretch of the imagination). One of the reasons the TT was so reliable was that it lacked a safety catch.

[Rentafence]

Too bad my model is gonna stay that whitish color. If only I could get it skinned somehow. :rolleyes:

[rossmum]

I could give it a shot, actually.

More practice I get the better.

Ok to refresh your memory, that is a laav turret that will be on a fixed stand. I have also made another one, which is stripped down to be lighter and is a mobile one for carrying.
http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/1chains1/aa-1.jpg
Because of it having a wide, short barrel and not a long straight out one,the bullet tends to bounce around before actually coming out, making the shell break and scatter, could flip large vehicles at point blank but further out it could only flip light vehicles such as mongooses and ghosts, and cause instability in warthogs. Think of it as a shotugn on steroids.Also, it has one special advantage, if you press ctrl, when you crouch you zoom in with the sights located in the center front of the gun, letting your acuracy increase by 2x, but the downside is that you cannot move, only rotate, making you easy pickings for snipers, and other infantry.

2. Barring that he's some cybernetic freak, the way he holds the the weapon from the point where the removes the fuel tank to when he replaces it looks really awkward, as the distribution of the weight of the weapon is extremely unbalanced.
3. The finger positioning really makes my eyes bleed, but since you are using the h1 rig, which has terrible fingers, I'll let you slide on that one.

thanks for the criticism. I'll keep these things in mind when i go back over it. Some of the finger positioning problems are due to the fact that this thing is practically impossible to hold. none of the objects are really ergonomically designed except for the handles themselves.

[Pooky]

it might be just me, but the way the left arm is positioned just doesn't look right. Feels like it's too far to the left.

[ICEE]

No it isn't just you. the origin was really hard to set up without looking odd. it looks a little bit more awkward in the render than it will in game because of the increased FOV. in game it wont be visible past the elbow

[Con]

Good, because I was thinking the same thing. Also, if you can, keep the reloading and stuff down low on the screen because I hate animations that obstruct your view of the game.

[ICEE]

yeah I significantly lowered the weapon in all the frames aside from origin for that very reason. now you cant see the tube hanging as much <:(> but no great loss I guess. It shouldn't obstruct view too much now. Creating a unique melee animation for this thing is hard though. If anyone has any ideas...

Just trying to improve on my terrain, there was a lot of analysis through SparkEdit that helped me through it quite a lot but this was one of many that I'm the most proud of. Once I'm happy with it I've got an idea of what I'll add on to it.

I've only got his facial hair like that because he has way more beard hair than 'stache. I'm going to texture the 'stache on, and make the beard more 3D. I've also edited his face some, so he looks better now, but not completely Freeman. I think most of that has to do with the fact that he's untextured.
