Yeah, Halo 3 tends to make things jerky at times, but at least their animators are better than decent compared to some other 'professionally' made games.

:( But gray backgrounds are so boring. Sorry about the lighting also, I know nothing about 3ds max really. I like to say that all I do is load rigs, import models, and move bones and nodes around.

I didn't rip them, I was just given the model and a skin. Other reasons I would use would be the above.

That goes without saying. Of all games I've seen, Halo is one of the few that has FP animations that look like actual care was given to making them look good. That doesn't change the fact that you could improve on what you have there.

Just did some big edits with your crit, changed the mag when it came out also, looked horrible now that I take another glance.

Ah, I see. Thanks for everything Lag. First time showing any of my work on Modacity, glad I wasn't trolled to death, or even at all.

I wonder why people would always say this would happen... :eyesroll:

Pretty generic Forerunner erection, not sure if I'll be using it in anything.

Looks neat, but you have some real bad errors in various spots.

I think thats lighting

Urgh, I should re-render. It's just crappy light placement, I forgot to change the sun position.

E: *shakes fist*

Taper it, it shouldn't be a box...

Looks like he beveled the sides.
