Also avoid just using extrude. Play around more with editable poly.

this. I'm tired of seeing forerunner geometry that's just a box that has been repeatedly extruded and chamfered and extruded some more.

[Assault&Battery]

It's been deleted from the model, I'll redo it to get it up to par.

I'll try to see if I can dig up more tutorials for Forerunner modeling. I wasn't using any references at all, and it was obvious.
But what about the beach? How does that compare?

I would really appreciate those guidelines, thank you.
Also:

Water taken from a Halo 3 screenshot, made by Bungie studios.
The Pelican will serve as a turret for defense of the main hole, the secondary cave (off to the right) is just out of range of the turret.
It won't be flyable or anything that will kill gameplay, just a turret on a Pelican which will probably be on fire.

give them cliffs some z brush!

@ Animated Grass

Show that video to someone who's not interested in modding... or... someone who is using a less ancheint engine...

luls will ensue.

Nicely done though, would be a nice touch for maps, if subtly done.

I seem to remember seeing a tutorial once for making animated plants exactly like that. Hm. Looks decent tho.
I'm curious, is it scenery, or is it detail objects? (Can you even animate detail objects?)
