Ignore the little bumps and such in the geometry, we have a new modeler who is remaking the BSP from scratch. He learned in private lessons from Massacre, whose work you may have seen (Archive V2 is the codename), and he is :awesome: at modeling.

That's their piss-poor excuse for Valhalla (aka Asgard). I downloaded it, and about cried. The BSP is certainly not ripped. Anyway - if things like the bubbleshield being a weird weapon thing were fixed, and the man cannons activated... it would be a passable map. But you need to get the RL out of the river too.

Re: Gallery Topic (post your favorite work, or WIP's)
Obviously, it is not ripped. But thanks for the complement.
Once again, the shitty excuse of a leak, Asgard (Or, as I like to call it, Assguard), was NOT populated by us.
The Bubble shield was not ours (As I stated), nor was ANY other weapon or vehicle besides the SMG, Banshee, and Battle Rifle. Someone repopulated the entire map, and I actually had no hand in that particular build, even before it was leaked.
Anyway, it appears I have taken project lead, apparently (Or something, I'm not sure why people are actually doing what I asked), but I am NOT the leader of Sigma, nor the Co-Leader. Just the project lead.
As I said, it is being COMPLETELY repopulated, re-UVWed, and remodeled. I've seen a few WIP screenies of the model, it's coming together nicely, no bumps or random rocky extrusions like you see in the current BSP. And, before you ask, it IS plane modeled.
The HUD is a new, H3 one, made by Donut, and I made a working Man Cannon that will be used. The screenshots you see are not of Asgard, but the vehicles you see in them prove that it actually is a new build of Hemel.
Another thing: Sigma is 100% against ripping of anything, whether it be pre-made tags or stuff from Halo 2 or 3. Everything we use was either made by us or what came with the HEK. And my ripping days are over, lol. I learned that lesson the hard way.
Oh, and thanks for clearing that up about Duce, Massacre. I seem to remember you told me you tutored him after you left UMT.

Depending on what game it's for, most people don't model in the barrel hole.
Also, looks really fine hurrvish. Only thing is the barrel seems a bit thin.

Yeah, really with how games are now, that are worth making models for, putting in the barrel hole isn't the great sin like when people were making stuff for ce. Even just having it there with less sides then the outside, like say a 12 sided tube with the inside only having 8 or 10. On stuff like a pistol, too, it's really not a problem at all since they can use up the extra polies. Also, the animations, especially for the deagle, look a lot better with the hole there. It's really up to the modeller/animator whether you feel like the hole is necessary.

He seems to have lost all sense of humor... I don't like it.
Humor's just one of my things.
That, and I'm still mad at him for something that wasn't really his fault, and that was driving a wedge between Ganon and myself for using me as the blame for leaving UMT.

the sides are flat. The tops of the sides are not flat, but that doesn't make the sides any less flat.
flat is generally bad, unless it's a surface for walking on.

you could try 7 sides... how about some halo related symbolism there? how about instead of the walls being 90 degrees to the floor, it has some tilt in or out? how about some panel details or control posts? maybe something much larger even? i don't recall any moving platforms THAT small being forerunner. not even the elevators in h2.
