As far as I'm concerned, CMT's MA5K rifles are only true to the cover in the academic sense: they're carbines with an ambiguous shade of gunmetal that were being wielded by Spartans.

Other than that, true resemblances are null. If you truly examine the structure and detail of the MA5K's in the high-res scans, it's just an MA5B with the electronics housing and lengthened foregrip removed. In their stead, a [rail that clips onto the rifle at the edge of the stock in front and the foreface of the comb at the back] and various auxiliary grips were added respectively. The only other difference between the MA5K and the Assault Rifle featured in H1 is that the former's muzzle has a vent on both sides.

In closing, the bolt's arm and tab should be no different than that of the MA5B or MA5C, and the bolt itself should not be located on the comb but immediately under the rear anchor of the rail. Also, the rail is pretty lame as of now. Spice it up.

Edit: Oh yeah, I found it. I was almost positive there was one there, but my main reference was just a promotional pic and not the final ingame product... and considering I've played the game about once for ten minutes in the past four months I couldn't trust my memory to it, anyway.

the 3rd person model of the halo 1 AR had the ejection port, I never noticed whether they put it on the 1p

There is no spec there, I couldn't be fucked making all the separate specular maps.

If this is 3ds max, then you could have placed a light somewhere, just to give us a general idea how it would look ingame. Other than that, looks great!

Its maya, but he could have placed a light in that too. anyway it looks cool but I think it needs to be more complex.
I'll draw a picture.

Way too simple, yet if it gets the job done, go with it.

sometimes the simplest of things are the best >_>

There is a light, obviously.

oh hey, i decided to drop by and give a lil update on the pk machine gun.

You call that update little? Also, needs more bipod.

4700 triangles at this point (remember it has internals). bipod is coming up, soon as i finish a couple of details.

damn its incredible

MY METHOD OF MODELING IS BETTER THEN YOUR METHOD OF MODELING ~:hyper:>.

Here is something else I started:
http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/9/25300372687.jpg

Obviously not done yet, I'm still working on smoothing and the front grip is a temporary piece of epic fail. I should probably finish some of my stuff some day xD.

Wow nice...I like the shape. Its very origional. Nice work....

Cant really give real criticism until you think its done. Besides the front grip and few smoothing errors in the back grip, it looks pretty good.

Yeah, I think you need to switch to photobucket or something legionnaire, putfile blows it out the ass.

you could.. like... CLICK THE IMAGE :awesome:

use www.xs.to for iamges.

That looks like an Uzi and a pistol combined. Great job though!

What? It always just goes to error page whenever I click the picture.

Those 2 vids show all the workflow/ui stuff that really helps when working in max, those 2 vids really really helped me with my modeling. You already have a modeling method that works for you, but hell, they will give you a little insight on plane modeling if you don't already know.

I can't even box model in Max. My method only works with Wings.

I only model with Wings. You can do pseudo-plane-modeling in Wings, but it takes a lot of practice with the concepts behind it... I'll write a tutorial when I get time, because I get asked how to do this a lot. I had to teach myself, basically.

The premise is to set up an image plane of that which you wish to plane model, move it back in the X-axis about 50 units, and Scale>Uniform your image until it's absolutely ginormous. Now lock your image plane so you can't select it. Now change your viewing mode to Orthographic and view down the X-axis (Default Hotkey "X"). Create>Cube, and select the face facing you. Press "F" or "+" once to select the four attached faces, and use Face>Dissolve to leave yourself with only one face. Then select the body of your plane and Body>Auto-Smooth it to give it all hard edges. You can then use this plane to make the basic shape of the part you are modeling by cutting the edges and moving the verticies freely while you are viewing down the x-axis (Tip: I made "T" a hotkey for both Edge>Cut>2 and Vertex>Move>Free; note, however, if you decide to do this, that the Turn plugin sets your "T" hotkey to Edge>Turn whenever you restart Wings. To get around this, either turn of the Turn plugin when you aren't using it or use another hotkey). Once you've made the basic shape, you can select one of the faces and Face>Extrude>Normal to make your primitive. There are more advanced things you can do with this, but this makes up the general idea.

Yay random off-topic tutorials!

i like the look. besides, it pwns Australians anyway so, it wins all the same

Whole thing is like a weeks work so far, not far off being finished either. I just finished the ground terrain and unwrapping the cliffs today. This is just to get my head around max and the editing kit. I can stuff this map up first, then get my proper map (Retina) ingame much easier, with less fuck ups along the way, considering it has alot more shaders and textures and hard stuff to deal with.


Btw, the map is not tilted in favor, it's just the perspective angle I have it at, for those of you confuzzled. Right now the whole map including the bases is 8000 triangles.

What is it with everyone and conventionally low and uniform cliffs?

Well i dunno how you do it in Max, but Maya it was:

Nurbs > draw outside perimeter line of the ground, about 20 seconds.

Convert to poly, it becomes a plane.

tessellate to fuck.

Sculpt tool, interchange between heighten and lower, changing the softness and size, start sculpting the geometry like clay (similar to zbrush and mudbox, but less accurate settings). 1 hour.

Extrude the cliffs upwards from the outer perimeter.

Tessellate to fuck.

Sculpt tool again. 30 minutes.


Select the whole model. Reduce poly (till desired ratio of poly amount - detail)


Walah.


Oh sever, this is a test map, to learn the hek. I really couldn't be fucked varying the cliff geometry, therefore making unwrapping all the more of a hassle.

I fully understood that it was a test map. I know that you care less about the cliffs and terrain than the fact that it will be a completed and running map, and that you will have the HEK experience. I'm just saying this about all maps in general. Even Blood Gulch and Danger Canyon are way to simple and unnatural for my tastes. I hope to get some awesome cliff modeling NOT using the displace method done in a few weeks.

I can barely see the model while you have those skins. Please, put a skylight on that scene and render with lightracer and no textures (preferably a gray-ish color).

XM8 Carbine Rifle. It isnt finnished yet, but this is my first weapon i have made and its the first model i have made using plane modeling. its a simple weapon with not much detail so i couldnt add much:

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...m8_carbine.png

That carbine looks a bit too blocky for my taste >.>

Notice how the back and the handle have more a more smooth and curved look, while yours looks blocky and has chamfered edges.

sniper wip (idea from huxley)


~Scooooooby

I fucking love the sniper :awesome:

the sniper is wrong from the concept :awesome:

also:
http://xs219.xs.to/xs219/07374/quake...3081444230.jpg
you using the original normalmap?
would look pro in h2v, when weapons become an option.

^ Nah, those look baked to me...

Scoooooooooby D: why did you not mirror the sides of the sniper :'( Wasted uv space makes me sad panda.

Also, the sponge filter is waaaaaaaaaay too evident on that sniper. It'd look much better if you painted the detail.

:/ that's the original high res cage. (exept for the scope)
i've got the wireframe of it.
and if you think those look baked, you have a fail-eye

This BSP is a work in progress of mine, it was oringinally going to be a UMT map but following my "resignation" I don't know where it's future lies.
So what the hell. BTW I will smooth it, so you don't have to mention that.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...newrender9.jpg

As said before, looks awesome. Now you don't have those UMT bastards to shit it up.

Nope, those are baked lighting and bumps. I'm sure scooby will tell you himself. If they aren't then, those are the worst bumps I've ever seen.

Btw, I'm talking about scoobys sniper and SMG, not the render you posted Tweekie.

Like i said in rep, not bad, I like!

Wow!! where'd you get the 1337 idea for the bases [grin]... I'm interested to see what becomes of this project sans UMT...

i love you too.

just swallow your pride and admit it looks better without the team, because it does.

Oh i have accepted it will look better, but it doesn't excuse my love for dano. He thinks up the nicest and most intelligent things to say.

tbh, what it looks like at this point is not really dependent on the team, snaf, but thanks for what I assume is a back-handed compliment.
also, unfinished like rest of map, base interior
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...seinterior.jpg

the insets in the floor look a bit deep?

looks like there's a glass plane over them to me.

Bingo.

Ahh i see it now. I mistook it for a shadow. Now im wondering what purpose it servers to have an inset there and a glass plane above it? Its different... hmm

Actually it can't possibly be better than it did when he was part of UMT, other than the improvements he himself did since then. We didn't do anything with the BSP anyway, it was all Massacre's project.

Also, D4NO, why do you have to be so ignorant to others? There ARE other people outside of CMT that have skillz, just because they aren't in CMT doesn't mean they suck.

people outside CMT, being the rest of the world population.
i can bet half the world population have more "skillz" than cmt has.

you post fails, because everyone knows CMT sucks, and 80% of "cmt" have no "skillz"

also, umt sucks too, so thats double fail :haw:

Tweek, don't twist my post around to what you want it to say. Stay out of this. D4NO needs to wake up and smell the Mocha. He may be the best texturer, but that doesn't mean he can put down others.

Theres people in this world that are like that. We just have to deal with em sometimes. =\

I can't tell from those angles but the outside looks a bit flat. Other than that it looks nice.

Yes, I will enlighten you. But you should get it by now. You don't try to sway others opinions through diplomacy. You just use your experience to force people into believing you. And if they don't see your point, you'll get majorly pissed, like you are now.

Btw, the spartan reference is to spartan democracy, where a bunch of old guys screamed their opinions at the top of their lungs, and the loudest would have their say on a spartan issue for the day. :hist101:

Plus I'm not even arguing witnh you about CMT anymore rossmum. I don't feel it'll amount to anything, just a bunch of needless posts and this topic getting locked. (praying for someone to post a picture of a WIP..please...anyone?)

We ripped? In what way ripped? Ripped as in from HCE maps, or as in stolen from H2... Because I never heard of the latter going on, and as for the former... I have no clue...

anyways, i could care less about this bickering, control your egos and please take it to IM or PM or something. thx

back on topic:

it looks pretty good, Massacre. Although the ceiling in your render is flat and somewhat bland and boring. try spicing things up with gruves and shit. and the floor looks ok, but with everything else having a much smoother and rounded look, i would only expect the floor to have the same flow. so round off the corners of those squares a bit (45 degree angles at least).

other than that, great work! it's comming along very nicely. :]

Oh, you were there to document that, huh?

Some of CMT's BSP's are taken from other maps. For example, Snow Grove was really Grove_Final before they took it. I have no idea who modeled Grove_Final - it might be a CMT member. But from what I've heard, Tensity is their only original BSP. I might be wrong about that tho. Any CMT member want to clear that up?

I don't know where that UMT ripping thing came from. If anyone has any evidence of this, let me know so we can deal with it.

just go look in any of their :awesome: topics /sarcasm

I'll be honest with you people, jay and deep are no longer in umt. However they are in a mapping team now called sigma l33t. Feel free to give them hell. as for fatso, i'm a bit disappointed. stop with the spamming.

from failure to failure.

To get back on topic...

I'm pretty sure Arteen made Grove Final...

Arteen made almost if not all the CMT maps released recently...

Tensity is just a remake of another Arteen map, Tension.

You see, this is the crap that made me leave. chill out, its not like he's ripping on your mother, or race, or any of those other things that it's just to be pissed about.
And Aggy is right, too much know-it-all.....everywhere.

Ah - I suppose I stand corrected.... assuming Arteen is CMT...

Just because of the sense argueing here I ma locking down CMT forums until next friday, rather than wednesday. Congradulations guys.

Oh my god. You need to cut down on the bevels/insets/extrude if thats what I am seeing. If it is then.. well it doesn't make the map look any better. Doesn't really make it look more detailed or more forerunner styled.. just plain annoying.

Anyway, as you see, I made some teleporter bases, the building from the last render is the thing on the right as you can see, it occupies the center.

yeah, I don't know how to explain this but those are like place holder details, to break it up until the real details and textures come in. don't worry your pretty little head about it.
