The plates on the joints of the hand cant be made with bump maps because its pushed up to far, also they wouldnt have that kind of detail with a bump map except some of teh scratches. If i made the scratches to deep then it would look weird.

I don't think people get acne on their hands.
so what is it. :| what does it do...?
It's a metal handjob glove. Dur...
its a hand its self that robots use. Its supposed to be bioflexable. The bumps are just for detail.

foam cutout + zbrush ≠ good model.
ofcourse not ross, because that requires minimal knowledge to do!
hence it cannot be done.
holy hell does your thumb really extend right next to your fingers? damn you are a mutant.
Seriously, why can't anyone figure out that there is an off topic gallery for off topic things? And if deehunter intends to put that in ce, I lol.
edit: also, it looks like my sparring glove. they get all wrinkly and scrunched up and gross from all the sweat that goes into them.

I can tell you guys have fun making fun of my work. your not even criticizing it your just making fun of it.
Sorry for not hopping on the oh-so-popular bandwagon, but I agree with him. Some of your comments are fine, but others are just downright pointless.
make a good real hand.
That not what i was trying to make. I was trying to make a robotic hand that pretty much has a good excuse so i can make it move around like a normal hand without needing to put in more stuff, like motors or pumps or wires and crap.
I'm not going to hop on the bandwagon and make a useless post, so here goes my little bit of criticism.
You could have done what ross said, and made the little circular things plastic. I think it looks like nice leather, but it definitely doesn't look like a glove. It looks like something that'd be strapped to the back of your hand, and that's kinda dumb. Also, this has no place in the CE gallery thread. I don't get why people post this stuff here.
i think its because the it never specified that it had to be Halo CE related in the post. Il start posting in the off topic post.
It's in the CE subforum, so it's more implied than said.
If it's not robotic, then IT'S NOT A ROBOT!Quote:

Same sort of deal here, people really intending to make fun of it, and tacking on a half-assed peice of constructive critism to make it look like they're obeying the rules. C'mon guys, it's obvious the problem was with disaster and not this guy anyhow.
agreed. now get on aim, leiuk...
and if you're intending to say it's robotic, it sure had better be designed to give that impression, because you missed the mark in every part. the joints are not even correct. those buttons should've at least been vertical to insinuate joints.
some things aren't worth constructive criticism, since there nothing to construct upon.
Why don't you just tell him how to improve it instead of making fun of it, i know you enjoy making fun of other peoples work, but try and help them, if the works "looks ok" and stuff like that are in your vocabulary.
there's plenty of it. hush up.
I'd think they're dropping hints that the only way to do it is to throw the .max file into the recycle bin, then empty it and start over. It doesn't look anything like a robotic glove; it looks like a foam cutout.Quote:

Well for the robot hand. I think you should actually model in joints and some pipes and stuff. It seems like you just took the lazy way out. And then import it into zbrush and add in the scratches or w/e you want. And I don't see how it looks like foam.
It needs to be trashed and reworked. If you want it to be biomechanical, at least make it look better.
it looks like a foam cutout thats almost like a guard for the hand and fingers.
Can we please stop saying the same thing over and over and just move on? DEEhunter: It fails. Start over. Everybody else (including me): shut up.Quote:

Being the sneaky me I am, I installed CE on it, and ran it at 1920x1200 resolution, and took some screenshots. I was getting killer FPS. I wish I could keep the laptop. It's been a long time since I even used CE.

Thanks! I have to attempt to try Crysis on it.

Isnt that AR a bit far forward O_o?
Otherwise that looks pretty bitchin.

I still don't have a dedicated graphics solution, but I am seriously going to spend as much time with this lappy as I can do further complete any other Halo workings I have left off.
The FOV in this map is the same as the Xbox Halo FOV (in multi.) I prefer it because it gives the game a less locked-in feel, and lets the world be seen a little more :P I have it integrated into the map without an FOV tool.
I also dropped Halo 2 Vista. I can't edit on it freely. I tried, but, it's just a pain to startup Sapien and watch 50x errors that are supposed to be there appear and slow down the startup, then wait for compiling, then wait for starting up, then wait for testing, etc, over and over again. Everything feels slower and less productive.
Your maps are the ones that deserve to be seen a bit more! Glad to see that you're still having time to work on your mapping!Quote:

ExAm thats not sex, thats sex in can of apple sauce. Which in the wise words of someone I know, Porta-sex.
Very, very nice.
Now that's what everyone's cliffs should be like; big and bold and sculpted. Halo's all about that.
Not realy, Con. Halo's cliffs all suck ass imo.
I thought that was sarcasm... >.>
It looks good. like some kind of sandstone that's been smoothed through exposure to the elements :)

Oh, just caught one more. Near the bottom of the picture, just under where the bottom right rock meets the ground, that edge right there doesn't flow into the ones next to it.
But keep up the good work!

no, this looks like cliffs
http://goree.rice.edu/files/images/G...fs.preview.JPG
Well for the people who don't know. I'm doing the whole landscape. So everything but the structures are going to be mine.
Sorry for any confusion.
that does look like cliffs but that would lag the halo engine so much if it was put in lol..but it would look goodQuote:

Yes, those do look like cliffs, but I don't think that a drop off of a beach is what he's going for. I think he's aiming more for the grassy part of the H3 level "The Covenant".Quote:

Hey it would be enough for the fall damage to kill you in halo 1 :/
I think they look like cliffs, the ones I climbed on last looked like that:
http://www.climbingcentral.com/rock/...luffScenic.jpg
The fall damege would not kill you there. I measured.:eng101:
But you might breack a limb.
Edit: Mass get on xfire.
I was making a point that the fall damage in H1 is rediculous <_<
A map I am working on:
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../redbase-2.jpg
^^Thats red base^^
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...iperpost-1.jpg
^^Thats like a little place for sniping up in the cliffside^^
constructive criticism plz...
oh and +rep plz if u like them! :)
Cool.
You will be able to walk on that wall right?
also what are the 2 things on the sides of the canyon at redbase? i can imagine vehicles spawning under the right quater pipe thing, but I think if the left doesn't really serve a purpose, it would be better placed outside of the base tol make another area more interesting and save poly's.
Yeah the wall will be walkable-on. The left structure will be a warthog spawn, and the one on the right is just random. I added it for balance. It makes the place look complete.
well if it the whole level was just a straight canyon, you could just put a thing like on the left on the right of the enemy base and leave that thing out all together.
or if the level wasn't straight and bent around, then it would be fine IMO. it just looks clutterd to my eye.
u got it! the level bends around! lawl. Its kinda like sidewinder in general shape.
Man, all these caves and cliffs are making me want to model a level...maybe i should work on ravaged some...
...right after i finish that m4 :D
well then remove the thing on the right, bend it around so that the thing on the right is on the outside of the U (the bottom edge) and then place structure that was on the right in the middle on the top side of the U and it will look nice and ballanced (and give a nice looking peice in the middle to extend how far you have to walk to see around it) :)Quote:

Please dont comment on the crapness of the landscape. I KNOW it needs work. this is just to give a feel for how the level's layout is. To the left (and out of sight) is blue base, inside an enormous cave. I am halfway through one of the base structures there (pic soon).
Keep in mind the buildings are fairly large, this map is actually around blood gulch size, maybe bigger. I want it to have good ground and vehicle combat. If you want i'll post a layout pic but i cant be screwed at the mo.
my 2 things i feel like showing:

Meh, needs more flair.
Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then ok. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?
It's decent, but it looks almost tacked on, like you modeled a bunch of structures separately and then glued them onto a random canyon. I think part of it is that they're at odd angles to each other.
What style is it supposed to be, forerunner? Because if it is you're close but not quite there.
W.I.P Halo 3 Magnum.
This is my best work so far. I am UVW Unwraping it at the moment.
is verry nice! but the extrusions on the handle look kinda bad to me...
but apart from that...:)
I'm no gun expert, but that doesn't look like it would be very comfortable to hold.Quote:

Yeah...that magnum looks like it would give you cramps after a few minutes holding it. Needs more finger grooves, or curves.Quote:
