Amazing work Wol.
I'll get you those chief tex's when your on next. (I'll also skin your AR if you'd like)
What map is that in? BG? Ratrace?
i promise you, it wont. Well, not hard.Quote:

Looks amazing WoL. I seriously didn't think CE could look that good. I can't wait to see this project on my pc and ran before my eyes! Good luck.
I get a constant 60 fps, and I've got VSYNC on. I think anyone with an okay video card would be fine.
Those rocks really remind me of oblivion dungeon raids. Good times...
Shit, that is beautiful...
I have no idea how to make youtube do highres videos.
AR sounds like an airsoft gun lol.
I like the AR sounds and I have no clue as to why. Is that map just a circular tube? Either way those shaders are nice.
add &fmt=6 to the url.
E: also ew at the AR sounds.
AR model looks like one of H3MT's many AR's, which is bad. The muzzle flash could use less suck. At the moment, it looks as if you just cut it out of a picture. The skin for the AR is really grainy and looks like stone, and the sound is :gonk:, as mentioned. Shaders look pretty good so far, would be nice if we could see the actual texture for the cave walls though. Those look more interesting. :)
Bricks were shat. That is amazing, WoL.

Hey thats lookin p cool man care to share :awesome:
Nice stuff man. Almost can't believe that's halo.
o i c wut u did thar with those textures. Clever. I might copy that technique.
Not bad. I have to say, I'm loving the rocks, although in some places the extreme angle on the skin makes it look rather odd, the fact that the texture represents depth that the eye expects to see at that angle. Now sure what you can do about that, though, aside from maybe height-mapping the model to match the contours of the rocks in the texture a bit more, but that doesn't really sound like a good idea. Anyway, it's pretty inspirational.
Looks great, except for that AR fire effect. If you'd like me to teach you how to manipulat them properly you have my contact info.
AR effects and sounds kick ass.
I'd rather not learn from a guy that evidently just uses the same sprites over and over again but changes various sizes and colors ;)Quote:

I tried the matching of contours, it just looked repetitive as the geometry would keep repeating.Quote:

Quite possibly, in fact.Quote:

You're the one taking potshots, everyone see's it. I'm the mature one who offered you help, but obviously you're not interested in MY help. Leet and I, and Kenny to an extent, are the only ones who I'm aware of that have an understanding of particle systems and effect particles. Your reaction to my offer is not rational.
Oh please. I'm not interested in anybody offering help unless i already wanted it. Also, i've been modding since the game came out, do you really think i have not once touched particles? seriously? I wasn't taking a potshot at you, i was joking around so you didn't think i was saying no just because you're masters. You get so damn emotional and defensive whenever i respond to you. I literally have not replied to you once in i dont know how many years without you going on the defensive over how "everybody sees how bad wol is" or something. Now please, i don't need a bloody teacher, i need a friggin particle artist, and you are not one, so get over it, and just stop it.
WoL, quit shitting up your own thread. Masterz, quit shitting up WoL's thread.
I suggest Conscars then, if you're looking for a particle artist.
Sorry if i'm "taking offence", I'm not use to the "new not so troll you". But I'm glad you're speaking whats on your mind, hopefully in the future I won't get offended by your accidental rude and degrading posts, and I'll just assume you were joking.
Hey man, I'm just offering you an olive branch, if you don't want it there's no need to joke or troll about it. A simple "no thank you, I think I understand them pretty well" would suffice. I compliment your work all the time, but I can't even remember the last time you had a kind word towards me. I offered my help, because I remember the struggle you had with the SPV1 particles, and haven't seen anything from you on that end since. I thought it be a nice gesture for whatever "wrongs" I have done onto you in the past, but obviously you're not ready to make amends.
Edit: oops, didn't see your post Rob, I think you're right and we should both stop and leave it as it is, unless WOL wants to continue this.
Masters, it's just how i am, and it's how i've always been. I have always joked. As i recall with spv1, you just didn't like my particles. Instead you replaced them with colorful flames, oh well.
You complement my work all the time, thanks...but you don't have any 'work' persay to complement. I don't like the unorganized and rudimentary way you do things. I don't like your particles, nor your UI, nor your simple textures, and the fact that after so many years you seem to have no dedication to become proficient in an art package (photoshop, max, maya, etc) just makes it a huge turnoff. I have no grudge, masters. I just dislike you for being you :)
Glad i got that off my back.
Maybe tomorrow i'll post shots of the textures i'm working on for the new bloodgulch, if time allows. I'm taking a break from the megapainintheass that is new mombassa to do a smaller, more organic level. I plan to just take the original terrain, tesellate it to about 100k tri, drop it into mudbox, and sculpt the cliffs etc. I'll then optimize it. I think i'll ask mass to do the bases since i remember him wanting to do some forerunner stuff, and he's good at it so what the hell. When its all done, the new bloodgulch should run about 70k-80k tri.

Didn't even realize this project was still going.
ar looks plain because heh, it doesn't have textures.
Oh okay. I figured. thought there might have been placeholders on it though, because I can actually make out some of the detail.
That's just the ejection port sound. The firing sound effect isn't there yet.Quote:

I'd say fool around with the color and see what happens. The CAR from Unreal 2 was gas-powered and had blue muzzle flash. It looked bad-ass.
It's fired around the middle of the trailer
Yea, i'll drop some blue tinge in there, we'll see how it looks. I'll also make them a bit tinier in first person, we'll also see on that.
:OQuote:

High res ghost?
I have special plans for all the covenant weapons/vehicles.
Your rocket launcher so far WoL.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Launcher_1.jpg
Tris: 2476
Hopfully I can keep it around 4K instead of 6K. And the cylinder under it still needs attaching and sealing to the main part. Roughly about 35-40% complete.
That handle bar is way too thin.
It looks like you could break it off.
1000th post. I win.
Its thinner than that in H3. I will wait and see wat WoL thinks of it so far.
Yeah I don't think it's that bad.
It's that thin on the original...
Hunter, try doing something better with the rotation mechanism and the teeth on the barrel. And get rid of those extruded faces on the barrel, too.
sweet textures :D
I envy you.
:suicide:Why you make my halo look fugly.Quote:

What do you mean. Do you just want it to rotate differently?
The transform gizmo in 3ds? The hell are you talking about?Quote:

Oh. Well, imo, having them exposed like that looks ridiculous. :| Try applying some weapons knowledge to the design. All this whole thing is so far is just a repetition of cylinders.
Those textures
O_O
Snaf has a great point. What you've done so far is just upres the old model without taking the chance to make it 'work right'. Take for example my shotgun, i added things to make it more visually interesting, and correct. Do the same for the rocket launcher.
Ohhh, I thought you just wanted a higher res rocket launcher lol. Ii will see what I can do, but remember I suck at designing.
I had thought of that when I first heard hunter was doing the rl.
No offense to hunter, but I wondered if he had the creativity to do to it what you did to the shotty.
:'( ^
Ive got afew creative ideas. But it would probably mean a full re design of the rocket launcher... would that be okay? It would still be held head height.
Edit: Any design ideas are welcome :)
I did this quickly, just a simple reload, not finished. And bare in mind I suck at animating...
Basicly the master cheif pushes the rocket into the clamps. Then the clamps take the rocket into the chamber and let it go or something, then the holes are covered. Simple and shit idea...
I kinda like the idea.
If people like it then it will need a lot of work.
:cringe: That idea is um... How the fuck does the rocket get out of the launcher when it's held by clamps?
Also, that tube is way too big for the rocket.
momentary release before propulsion mb,
the concept is inventive, but how will you implement something like that to the Halo's RL design.
dunno yet
From what i know about rockets...the tube is usually there to straighten out the trajectory to, you know, aim the rocket. If the walls aren't flush with the rocket...its useless.
Tutorial please WoL :D
yeah this stuff looks awesome. Shame on me for not looking at this thread until now.
Why does it say Halo 3 Redesign, when it can be a custom design :O?
Also, will there be hi res particles?
I just named it Halo 3, dunno why Lol. Im going to make a seperate thread for the weapons, instead of clogging up Wol's. Im going to demake the rocket as well.
demake?
you mean remake right?
Also, the rocket projectile should be hi res, and be similar to the halo 3 rocket.
Hunter, it looks like you're going for a redesign of the entire thing. I think it's best if you stick with the two-tube cartridge from the original design, so it at least resembles Halo, but work out a plausible mechanism to make it spin, and add a few design tweaks here and there.
WoL likes the idea of having old rocket launcher designs in the mod. I will post afew designs on the other thread.

All gas-operated means is that expanding gases are drawn out of the barrel as the bullet passes through and used to push a piston back, and as the piston is connected to the bolt it pushes that back, too. The gas comes from the exploding powder and has squat to do with firing the round, only cycling the action for the next shot.
WoL, cave looks ace.
^ lol, my shotgun is gas-pow...i mean operated.
it wouldnt make much sense in practice, but cosmetically, if you had a semi exposed gear that grabs the teeth of the rocket barrel to make it spin it would look kinda cool. kind of like the minigun from UT2004Quote:

My car is "gas" operated if you know what I mean:lmao:
^ O I GET IT! You fart in your car to make it run.:haw:
Stop offtopicness
...Except for the M16, whos major pitfall is the lack of a gas piston. Instead, its gas tube directly uses gas to cycle the bolt.
Also, the Sturmgewehr and other early style assault rifles used blowback. This was because early designers weren't certain the gas systems would work with the short barrels. Also, there was the fact that very few countries and developers were used to a gas system, while every SMG available at the time was either recoil operated or blowback operated.
By the way, very impressive textures on the cave. The shiny-ness helps :P
heh, speaking of gas powered, i had an amazing homemade burrito for lunch today, and i doused it with super-spicy guacamole sauce
worst decision ever
cool story bro
I made other topic to save clogging up this one with the weapons. Anyway, WoL. Do you want to use the origional idea but instead of having the whole thing rotating there could be an other cylinder inthe middle which rotates. And the normal outer cylinder could just be protection. Then it looks the same but works differently. Personally I like it how it is, but its up top you WoL. What do you want to do?
just have two rotating barrels?
Noo, one min, I will make a quick animation.
Edit: Lesson has finished, will do it when I get home.
HOLY CHRIST, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.Quote:

That video does not work for me.
It's cause he embedded it the second he uploaded it. Wait 5mins and try again.
Flying rooster is my animator, sorryQuote:
