After i finish cleaning up some of the more time consuming things to fix in PS by messing with the low res cage a bit, im going to render the normal map at 4096x4096. It comes without AA, so when i scale it down it should also blend some of the edges a bit. For everything else, i can fix it up in PS.
Dano, ready to skin this puppy?
Yes sir :D
The location of the magazine makes it look like it'd have a really low capacity, with the caliber it appears to be, and fire through a submachine-gun like length of barrel, the stock looks like it would collapse right into the firing mechanism, and the rail still doesn't look like it can hold shit. Also, not entirely fond of the pattern on the barrel. Am I the only one who doesn't really like this thing? :(
lol silly nub. The bullets do not go straight up, they go back, loop around INTO the firing mechanism, and then are chambered and fired, with cartridges being expelled from the side. The stock does not fully collapse into the weapon as that would be silly, but can be adjusted for different users, or if you're rambo, easier one handed use.Quote:

And im glad you're not fond of the 'pattern' on the barrel, it shows im doing my job at creating something original.
I demand an internal animation of how the rounds looping back works!
As in P90 style?Quote:

Also, my comment about the barrel is my own aesthetic opinion. Doesn't matter if it's original or not, I don't have to like it.Quote:

sup Halo 3-ish :D
Well, personally all the forerunner stuff is the same sort of style, it all uses the same kinds of lines and same angles into each other, but I think the style evolves as the civilization grows. Just like we have Egyptian and all that, they had different styles of that stuff. Realistically, it's not all forerunner style. Forerunners are just the race that we call them. Back in those days in the halo story line, that style would have had a specific name, to the forerunners, maybe different clans or time periods. Who knows. The halo 3 stuff looks like a more recent forerunner style.
@Exam: I'm glad to hear someone going against the bandwagon. I personally like the gun, but I do agree with you that some parts of it seem silly, but come on, it's realistic enough that it could work, and the point by now is to make it look really, really cool. But I guess you can't win them all.
@Dane: Dude, that inspires me to continue working on my forerunner map. With your textures on it, it could be friggin amazing.
too bad dano's already got a job.
This is just me experimenting with rendering.

Link, that is awesome :D
Yeah I don't know how you do it. With all that work, I'm beginning to think this is your job. As in work-and-get-paid-a-little-more-than-an-illegal-immigrant work.
How do you find time to do this stuff? I can't even find time to model a map anymore...
been at it some more

I have to say, while it still has a lot of errors that need to be fixed, I fucking LOVE the way it looks in FP. It looks absolutely amazing from that angle, and it isn't even skinned yet! Bravo, keep up the good work!

Only just started the amour bitmaps, that biped has 3 different amour bitmaps that make it up so it's only partly finished. Anything white/dark gray isn't finished and some parts are only just bump maps at this point..
wave, although the models may look super complex, they only fall in the 6k triangle range for long guns and 2k for handguns. no big deal. i'm sure that later on, we can map details on (especially on magazines) but that's besides the point.
Thats not what i meant specifically, because i did say if you had the tris use em, but i've just been on a normal mapping FRENZY. lol.Quote:

You have no sense of scale because there is nothing in the scene to refer to. Brutes aren't short and fat, but they're not tall and thin. They're tall and bulky. If you seen MC in the scene you'd see.
also
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/5...brutes2zj1.jpg
Just bumps atm.
Those 2 pics look much better than your last update. Looks like your updated the body texture, though I could be mistaken.
Looks great Dane :)
Those brutes are going to be scary D:
awesome brutes dano. the bumps look really good.
The models aren't all that great, but I'm not one to talk, cause I can't model bipeds to save my life. But yah, dang, the skin looks like it's comin along pretty well. That, plus the animations, could take that model from meh to :awesome:. Who's gonna animate it? Also, you say bumps- is this for H2V then?
^^lawl^^
oh wow.
Holy fucking shit.
Oh my fucking god.
Jesus tap dancing christ.
Wow, just wow.
Thats the best model I've ever seen for any game, EVER.
Please, teach me your ways.
Also, that model just made me feel like shit. :(
Edit: I can't +rep you! :( :( :(
Also, did you pull that entire concept from your brain? Did you just sketch down this masterpiece and model it? I'm so far from this imaginative it pathetic.
I'm going to go cut myself now.
:awesome:
If that doesn't become a map, my little inner man will become severely depressed and die.
It's tweeks remodel of 'Narrows' from Halo 3.Quote:

that's where similarities end tbh.
it's like 3/4 times as large as narrows.
it's a must-have vehicle-map really. no shortcuts for people on foot, but seperate paths, with similar perils :o
(there's a warthog there for scale)
This is going to be your map you said you wanted to make?
dunno
first off :awesome:
And even though its looking epic, I'm wondering about what the rest of the map will be, or even if there will be more? are the bases like *shudder* gephy's? or what? also, please put in some teleporters, all-vehicle maps aren't really too fun.
you dont need vehicles, you can walk too. just takes a bit longer.
my point was, this map can't really go without vehicles, due to it's size.
i can guarante you it won't be everyone runnning to the warthogs when a game starts.
should propably start betatesting in not too long from now, since the model is nearly complete.
ill yell when that time comes though.
Soviet SKS Simonov & AK-47

AK's stock looks really thick.
Dang, how'd you get that done so fast Tweek?
By the way what happened to that mecha model thingy you were making?
Oh well that makes me worship you like a god anyway.
Funny, here I was thinking it was a WIP.Quote:

It looks more like the end of the stock's cross section looks, in peng's model, like the oval shape is too wide at the top and bottom, rather than the more gradual oval I see in that picture you have there.Quote:

Ignore the graphics. It's an old laptop.
i'll propably put together an alpha of the map later today, just to see how it plays. look out for a thread for it.
my guess, i should have something in about 3-5 hours or so.
edit:
oh yeah, this test will be for CE, since i dont have vista, so if you're one of those people that think they're cool enough to get a beta from me, go install CE and stuff.
I'm thinking symmetry tool, but I dunno.Quote:

Nice, those going on anything?
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/4...brutes3ge7.jpg
most of the texture patterns are my design, but I'm still following bungies a bit.
Also thats just real basic for now, once I get all the amours basic textures and bumps down, i'll go in and start giving it real detail.
*edit*
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4...brutes3sl2.jpg

That is win IMO.
That, along with fighting Elites (you ARE reskinning the Elites, right?), will be near impossible, due to the fact that you will be fighting two hella-cool enemies that you will want to stop and gaze at while they are tearing you apart.
yep, those are definately elites.
^ lol
Take some time and read. please. The first word I posted refers to teh lag & Dane's Brutes. I was basically saying "That [the Brute], and the Elites..." K? Just trying to clarify.
are you fucking retarded -_- do you even know the difference between an akm and an ak? the receiver is that of an AK-47. if you knew what you were talking about you'd know that. glad you like them, but if you don't know anything about guns best not to say anything.Quote:

Nice work, Dano.
i can....IT SUCKS! START OVER DANO! GAWD!
<3 looks great.
I personally think the models look great, just the way he modeled them is a bit funny. He knows now though, since he started skinning hes learned that sometimes you have to model differently in terms of unwrapping.
Mainly, I think whats throwing you off Rob is the smoothing. It's all fucked up since the export from max to maya, but I've fixed it up a bit.
to me, the proportions of the brute biped just look odd. but really, i think the brute that bungie made is too crazy and not really well designed--or at least something was definitely screwed up between the concepts and the modelling.
Nothing is ever screwed up Wave, lol. It's just a design choice. They seem fine to me :/ Not all animals are the same proportions as people. They've blended gorillas , rhinos and people together, so you get those big forearms and calf muscles, with the slight hunch backs and stuff.
dude, in H2 look at their thighs. It bulges out in a cylindrical shape, then all of a sudden without any real muscular form tapers in, and whammo theres the knee. Its seriously as if they modeled the brutes by extruding a cylinder. Look at the forearms as well. Plus, they have no ankles, just a shin and calf which looks like a freakin tube that blends into some hoof thing, with two spikes at each side of their square feet. Wierdest piece of shit ive ever seen in a best selling game :D
:words:
Exactly, thank you wol.Quote:

Bungie aren't fucking stupid. If a bunch of people from internet forums can see "faults" I'm sure an entire professional studio would have seen said faults. Think outside the square.
Maybe they just have muscly ass thighs, maybe, they have huge ass shin bones, maybe, just maybe they don't have as much fluent movement as a human body, but they make up for that in pure strength.
I personally am glad the brutes are the way they are. If they were the same proportions as a human, it'd just look like your fighting a bunch of black guys, who have alot of fur and ape/rhino/lizard like features.
also, 2000th post
Yeah, why would anyone want to fight a bunch of neuros? :maddowns:Quote:

You're using a tremendous amount of suspension of belief which i find odd seeing as how you yourself are a great artist dedicated to making things right. The muscles and shape just dont look right, and they dont look primal (in halo 2). They said many many times that they themselves were not happy with the halo 2 brutes, that they looked like odd monkeys. I can then happily say that they look much more covenant in halo 3.Quote:

also real basic at the moment like the others.

Anybody think that model would make a decent video tutorial for noobs?
Yeah, if you explained it really well.
I attempted making the tutorial less then a week ago, but a little bit in I forgot how I modeled it... My main problem was I was trying to recreate my exact thought process of how I modeled it to the viewers, but I just couldn't remember. I'll probably end up just making it the fastest way, instead of my way.Quote:

Thanks again to Massacre for modeling that room for me, I didn't know how to model interiors but I do now :D
The floor texture is too busy, make it a bit simpler looking. The shape of the door is the only other thing that concerns me, it's a bit unusual.
Could just be the angle of the door the picture was taken from, but I have to agree, kinda is odd.Quote:
