My laptop decides to fuck up on THIS VERY DAY, out of all fucking days.
It's really pissed me off...

Can anyone post any screenshots of what I will probably be missing today?

They've posted 3d quicktime movies of the brute chopper, E.V.A. Spartan and C.Q.B. Spartan. So... anyone know how to extract models from a 3d quicktime file?

Aren't 3d quicktime movies just quicktime movies recorded with a panning camera motion?

Where does the missile come from? All I see at the front is a giant lego technic rod:

If you've got a 360 don't forget to download the free new theme and picture pack. They are gone after today.

yuck that EVA suit is HORRIBLE.

Every time I see it this is what it looks like to me.

EVA looks better than the CQB version.

July 7th, 2007, 01:19 PM
Other way around IMHO....but none of them look better than the standard Armor.

I actually think the CQB looks pretty cool. EVA makes me want to throw up, though.

Dude, I feel bad saying this, but... that looks like Strider could've modeled it.

Given, the entire thing wouldn't have had any polygons with more than three sides and there would've been about ten stray vertices and fucked-up UV's, but to an extent that does look like his work.

Is it possible to make the missile pod a vehicle so as to use third person perspective?

Its not that bad, anyhow you are not examining it in great detail when you are playing. It shoots missiles that kill people and vehicles so as long as it looks like something that shoots missiles I have no problem with it.

If only my 360 wasn't currently being repaired, I would have. Also...

We also, not coincidentally, arranged another surprise that by early tomorrow morning, will have worked its way through the interweb and its cavernous tubes – the Blastacular Map Pack, free for everyone, and then subsequently, the new maps that comprise it will be rolled fully into matchmaking (not for a few weeks). So even the folks who already bought ‘em get to enjoy an aspect of the freebie.
Too bad I already bought the maps, then my 360 red-ringed before I even had a chance to try them out, which means completely wasted money. At least it's great for everyone else.

Those 3D quicktimes are a really fascinating optical illusion... I played with the Chopper one for like 10 minutes

Chopper one had shit quality imo. Other two were the best :D.

In the eva one, the spartan is about to rape the crap out of that base with his gun.

Illusion? How so?

Oh, and open the Brute Chopper one (the one not damaged), and get it into a position where you're looking at the right side of it at an angle. See the lighting at the top tip of the vehicle? Remind you of something?

because it's just a bunch of images strung together, but if you rotate at a decent speed it looks like a 3D render

Oh, but the armour ones weren't images were they? If you rotate them at a steady speed, you see the spartan is breathing. How can they gather those images while still showing a smooth flow of animation?

How? It's just a model. Maybe they just wanted a missle pod. Of course it's going to end up like a cylindrical shape. It's the actual texture and bump map that make it look like an actual weapon, as opposed to strider. The people at bungie, as we know are not crap modellers. This is exactly the look they wanted with the missle pod. I personally think it looks kick ass, but we need to look at the entire package, not just the model.

The only thing I disliked about the misslepod was how I'm locking on to a target and the target just gets out of reach after I fire.

...Because he was animated while breathing. Notice how he isn't breathing when you're not playing the animation backwards or foward?
