Or maybe the covenant urinates out of their fingers, and thats how the guns work, and thats where pr and pp gets the plasma from...
............NO.
Also I have been working on this spiker for a few weeks now, started a while ago, just never had the experience, until now.

Can I see a wireframe?
why has no one done a mauler for show? I have seen maybe 1. Pick a halo 3 weapon not done as much and try it. I like these, but try something different, or try mixing two weapons together....
hmm....
No more halo 3 weapons please... We need something more creative.
How do humans use it then...Quote:

Well damn, I guess Halo 3 has the only weapons you people know about.
I'd post my P88 just to prove you're wrong but I can't be bothered until the mag's done
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...fix_spiker.jpg
Make this face bigger.
Make this smoothing group different than the smoothing group on the main blade face.
Make fatter.
Make this the write shape.
Edit:
The extruded part on the blade which attaches it to the main weapon, its a hexagon sort of shape, you need to change smoothing group on the bevel outsides, the slanted parts, if you know what I mean. CHange the smoothing group to someing differant than the top face.
I'd probably post oh, about EVERY GUN MODEL I'VE DONE to prove him wrong :P
I should disqualify that for being an old model, but since no one else posted one have your +10.Quote:

Here is a remake of Famas F1. I had modeled it a while back but it was crap so I decided to redo. It is one of my more recent models. I will eventually get to adding a few extra things like. (Silencer, Iron Sight, Grenade Launcher, ect...)

Here is your Wireframe:
Here is your Clay:
Probably not until after a few more important things because I'm wanting to make a fun Christmas map for halo. Along with a Total Conversion Mod I am also working on for halo. Thus I had to restart from about a 9 months ago due to loss of files. :( (Ingame Screens and Renders soon.) 2 weeks I will be back out of school for Christmas Break and that will last for 3 weeks so I will have a bit of time on my hands.
how many times do you have to get banned?
Lmao, didn't even bother trying to hide it.
No I'm not trying to hide it. I want to be civil with everyone. I want honest "Crit" on my model.
Do it on your original account. Making a new account won't change people's opinions of you.
E: Happy 7000th post the studio.
I'm tired of seeing the same old 3 weapons. Some of you lack serious originality. Why is there 20 goddamn spikers and 15 ARs?
Who the hell cares. If somebody wants to model a h3 weapon for practice let them. Instead of complaining about how many of that weapons there are, Give the person advice on how they can improve the model. Then encourage them to model something else.
Okay. You win.Quote:

That sounds MORE like a win-win situation don't you think?Quote:

The man makes a compelling point...
The funny part is, no one has made it completely accurate yet, may be very close, but not 100%.Quote:

You need to model in quads for proper smoothing. Don't use a clay render, that way we can see your smoothing. This is game art, not scene art.

For those who haven't seen it in my gallery thread, I've been working on a custom BACK cover (front is the original) for Sonic Unleashed. I don't feel like clogging up my gallery thread with several of these images with only minor changes, so I'll do it here. Any complaints/crit/comments would be appreciated.
@ Snaf from my thread: I tried to balance the images out, hope it looks better.
I'm practicing my rendering. Suggestions?
well for one, either turn on shadows, change the type to adv. ray traced and get it far away enough from your model that you have decent lighting over the whole thing or lose the lights and turn the diffuse map to 100% self illumination so we can see your texture.
And lose the background, it really is completely worthless when trying to show your work.

Which looks better?
Textures by IVEE. Model by Aklass. Render by me.
Option #2. Material representation is the least bad. 1 and 3 look like a mix between pitted concrete and silver foam. You have to understand the surface qualities of the building materials.
Taking a break from arbiter armor, decided to do a fun little speed painting exercise before I go off to bed, did not have much time to do much else.
Time: 15 minutes

That is, and I am not kidding chains, by far THE most awesome thing I have seen you do.
I talk alot of shit on you, even when I was banned, but my god. Plus rep ftw.
I really like it and its not even complete. Idk why but I really do.
This just proves tha you can do good stuff.
Nice lighting and color. It's a little blurry, but you should be able to fix that.
Final project for art class: white pastel on black paper again. WIP

Awesome. Thanks Snaf, I will look into it.
Edit:
Do you have an example of what you mean? Or a wireframe of CMT's?
All your work seems to be blurred. It would be cool if you started to make stuff more out coming and not so feathered. If you get what I mean. :oQuote:

There hunter :) Theres a few n-gons on the back but that has been fixed, its an old pic. You can get the basic idea.
pretty boxy. Intentional or not.
I see much wastage, why are there so many redundant edges
The UMP? If so, I know, The pictures 2 weeks old. I was sowing it to hunter as to give him a general idea on how to set up edgeloops.
E Ross: So my edgeloops are set up properly and there are no n-gons which causes incorrect smoothing when put in a a game engine. Particularly UT3.
We need to quit the avatar copying meme. Its annoying.
I honestly doubt you need that many, particularly on flat faces...Quote:

Obviously I could not paint the whole scene in an hour, so I did a quick sketch of shoulders and back facing the camera at an angle and his head looking away from the camera, but him looking out with the corner of his eye. Hope you enjoy.
http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/n...rscenecopy.png
Your drawings always start of from you being bored :P
Lol. Looks okay, Eye seems to be in weird position. And boring design on it. Looks cool though.
dude. wtf.
Looks good so far.
You need to work a little on your perpective. It looks like his snout is bent to the left.
True, his eye is a little too far back, the snout is bent to the left, he is looking away in the opposite direction from the camera and is looking back with only his eye, but I do need to work on perspective, as I never plan that part out.
Now that I am looking at it, I dont like his mouth.
What part? He was in a snarl, let me get a picture.
http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/..._Halo_Wars.png
Edit: Just figured out what you meant exam with the jaw bending to the left, will move the other side teeth shadow down and add less shine on the tip and more view of the inside spike on the front, and that should fix it up.
ugh
halo wars elites look all wrong, his eyes are about 2 inches too far forwards
e/ fuck it his whole head/face structure looks wrong
Whatever happened to working that one concept of the arbiter? Seriously. <_<
Also, what ExAm said. Work on your perspective. I need to work on my perspective too (never been my strong point). D:
Hey guys, I'm wondering is this stage looks decent for an beginner. Any criticism is allowed.

That annoys the fuck out of me when I hear people say that ross, think openly in that elites are a race and every individual differs. Some people have eyes further away from they're nose or tight in, so have skinny eyes or big eyes, some people have round crowns, or maybe oblong, some people have far forward hair lines, others have far back.Quote:

Ew. Gross. Also, If thats what you were going for then yes, exam was very right. It seemed he was looking a totally different direction in yours.
higuy, I don't understand your water. You have a gaping pit and a large waterfall draining the area, but only a tiny little waterfall filling it up?
yeah and some people are stored in jars because their parents lived downwind from chernobyl when it blew upQuote:

@ con : I know, im fixing that up. Ive been working on the base right now but I see what you mean.
I am still confused if whether you mean the halowars elite one, and thus mine, or just mine alone.Quote:

He means both. Just start looking off of bungie-made halo games from now on.Quote:

Elites aren't exactly beauty pageant winners but they aren't supposed to look like the bogeyman, they're meant to look like proud and tough warriors with incredible intellect. It's hard to describe in any sensible terms, but the look that's going on with that screen looks more suited to a Brute, not an Elite.
Oh well that just fits the background story of this one, seems he was too cruel a soldier, even for the covenant. The other elites look better, like in the original trailer. I think though that they wanted a darker, more dangerous feel to the elites, as since your looking at this from a more infantry point of view, elites look like monsters. And a giant creature wielding a glowing sword with the strength of 20 humans and is 8 feet tall sounds pretty monstrous to me, especially since they're hellbent on destroying the humans.
As far as the placement goes, I gotta agree with rossmum.
Look,
http://i29.tinypic.com/2vanzag.jpg
Their only about one eyes width off from where they should be and it does not look right does it?
Some stuff cant be tossed away with "Some things are different"
The elites dont have a separate downs army.
Yeah, but the difference is that for all their physical strength and religious zeal, the Elites are probably the smartest of all the Covenant (with the possible exception of the higher Prophets, the lower ones are most likely just useless diplomats). Even the most insane Elites are very much concerned with tradition, ceremony, honour, etc. and so portraying them outright as monsters is kind of stupid, really. That's for the Brutes.Quote:
Originally Posted by sKc_Chains

Also even though elites are smart, and great tacticians, they also do not find a problem dying for that honor, think of the sort of Japanese in world war 2 with the kamikaze charges, they were brainwashed by higher ups to sacrifice their lives in the thought of honor, and would kill themselves rather then be captured. Its the same with the prophets with the elites, expect the prophets are just as delusional, but they still know they are keeping the elites in the dark.
Yeah, but the Japanese didn't morph into scaly monsters no matter how brainwashed they were. As far as I'm concerned, Bungie got the Elites right the first time around and anything else is certainly not an improvement.

Looks pretty nice. Once you fix up the cliffs, give it smoothing or throw it in game (hopefully after giving it smoothing <_<) and post some pics.

Chains, it seems like you need to use longer and smoother strokes. Not those shitty mini fur lines.
Ok duce, I will try that out, also mech, what exactly is the challenge? I am in possession of zbrush and elite models if you're venturing for me to do that.
Mech is talking about the challenge of drawing some of the other halo creatures in addition to the elite.
Where did you find those images mech?
Those images are cool. Seems like it would be something in H3 Recon
Nope, early developments for Halo Wars which got scrapped. Also, I'm guessing that H3;ReconODST will use the same enemies from H3's standard campaign.
They look like they got a lot of pollies.
Zbrush.Quote:
