Chief looks good in blue. :cool:
It looks alright. 8-10 hours to model something you could've simply drawn out with the polygon tool, or made with [cue dramatic music] booleans?Quote:

It is a rigging issue that I haven't figured out yet. What you're seeing is the stomach plate going INTO his body.Quote:

The gif sorta kills some of the colour. I like the visor colour much better though.
whatever happened to APNG's?
Weren't those the new gifs?
looks nice.
They also took up a shitload of space. D:Quote:

@animated gif of mc: looks really good. the gif killed the quality but atleast it's still better than youtube =P
Dear god, you should've made it with NURBS. Also, yes, booleans leave messy meshes, but what you've modeled was simply for rendering purposes, so big deal.
that is a good mc you have there
it walks very nicely too :downs:
ye i should have use nurbs but ive never been able to useitwith flat surfaces. and im very ocd about my mesh being clean but i had time to kill so :pQuote:

Two problems I have with it right now: The detail bump I've got on it makes it look like stone when viewed up close (or at least it's too pitted, maybe not stone). The second thing is when I put the scratches on the normal map, for some reason they got raised like 4 pixels up, so I need to fix that.
Heading to bed, so I'll check back tomorrow.
So, you used a premade model, premade normal map, added a detail bump( which is no feat at all) and a very sub par diffuse map from what I can gather, and then you have the right to say "all was made from scratch"
That is a slap in the face to real work.
You did nothing, no offence. I saw the pic and actually was impressed until I read what you had actuallu written.
By all I meant diffuse, specular, and gloss, heh.
e: If it's completely custom work you want, I've got that too. Check the textures in my gallery thread. The paint is obnoxious on the wall and floor textures, but aside from that I could use some crit on it.

Also, if you dislike the scratches, say so. I'm not a big fan of some of them myself.
I really like that rooster. I unfortunately have never been able to get the hi-res to normal map thing to normal map thing to work...
Wow. Dane actually made a serious post. :raise: joking
Anyways. The textures you made look great rooster. However, it seems to lack any color other than the yellow paint which doesn't really look that good. It is way to bright.
Yeh they're not 'that' amazing. I also dont think Dane was challenging you to show more work.
I know, but he thought the problem with the chief was that I didn't make him completely from scratch. His gripe was really with semantics, but I went ahead and showed him those in hope that he crits them and I get some good tips. I made the chief for rendering purposes, and because I didn't like bungie's diffuse and spec maps. Maybe I'll get around to making a normal map for it, maybe not.
well what does size matter if your internet isnt shitty?Quote:

That said, Dane is right on many things for your chief. A higher res diffuse would certainly suit it well.
Does this work as a minimal wallpaper?

Was watching the rain fall past this light over the carpark outside my room, and decided to make something out of it :F I'd like to make it look a bit more like a painting and photochop it up to hell but have no skills in anything more than using filters.
lol, floating light post.
Need crit and how to improve on it:

Are you serious? why did you do an exit animation without the actual vehicle in the scene?
Lmao. I can tell what it is, but it would be very hard for someone else.
Watch icee's weapon animations. Does he animate without the weapon in the scene? No, because that wouldn't make any sense at all.
Well, I figured that it would be blocked a little, since its exiting in the cockpit, and you wouldnt be able to see it. Ill put in a elephant for the next render after I fix this one up a bit.Quote:

That's how I'm remembering the multi-step doors.
Good luck, and, again, looks good.
Loop it a few times if you're going to put it on youtube. Youtube likes to cut off the last second or so of every video.
*cannot render for shit*
Basically trying to remodel Prisoner as a Covenant facility(which at this point mostly consists of adding curves to everything). Platform between the prongs is Forerunner for a reason.
Smoothing(or lack thereof) on the central trough in the floor has been fixed, I rarely remember to smooth everything that I should.
I see the resemblance between this and the original map. Keep up the work.

Been starting some stuff up on our friend the Arbiter. Normal map comes first, which you can see here. Resolution of the texture is 4096x4096, and the actual armor parts are about 75% complete.
Before anyone mentions it, yes, I'm aware the curved details were extruded in the game, Snaf and I just feel it looks better, and more logical in this fashion.
Looks good, but I dont like his fingures on the right hand. THe joint looks blah, but Idt im supposed to critique that.
Flashlight enabled shielding.
So far the shields only work when the flashlight is turned on, adds a new element of gameplay instead of running about and waiting for your shields to run down you have to think carefully.

[i hope linking to that works here...]
This has been around for a while, I remember it was in this map where you played as an elite, a long while back. Still cool though. Seems a bit big, and there aren't enough ripples - looks like you applied the elite's shield to master chief. What would be cool is first person shields that activated too. Getting the first person shields is easy enough, I wonder if it'll show up when you turn on the flashlight, if you do so.
Yeah i had edited the shields tiling a bit to make it look more like a shield instead of waves of electricty.Quote:

The aww man animation is supposed to be a stretch, so I guess that failed lol, thanks
too much arm swing on the walk. legs a little straighter and knees should be behind the center of the person longer than infront walking.
legs needs to stretch out/extend on the jump then bring them up. (even though most people keep their legs straight while in the air, then compress them for the landing)
When I got to it, I realized that the highest of Prisoner's bridges is horribly done, the sides aren't even parallel. So I did something a bit different with it.
Don't get lazy... :rolleyes: the suspender things unter the bridge don't look very covenant...Quote:

True enough, they weren't really meant for that, I just copied them in since they were the first thing that came to mind.
I'll figure it out, I just need to replay High Charity a bit.
By High Charity you mean Gravemind, right? High Charity was the second of the two, where the Flood had gained a foothold in the Covenant Holy City, whereas Gravemind was the first, which was longer and had better combat areas.
Unless, of course, you want it to be like the latter.
You could always do both - make a clean and infected version.
Nope, High Charity. Gravemind doesn't have the Step of Silence.
oh dear god yesQuote:

So I'm designing a new website layout, trying to keep things nice and minimal looking. I need some ideas for about how I should set up the site navigation, any ideas? A friend suggested polaroids, I think that may just look a little too tacky and cliché. Maybe just some text, in a nice thin, minimal font, a lighter grey-blue than the background simply sitting on the background to the side of the backdop?
Also, what are good dimensions for the page?
Also, the aperture looks like the Aperture Labs logo, I know. But how can it not? That's what an aperture looks like, so shut up goddamn :saddowns: (though in this case, it seems to have become a ringlight.
Looks nice. Where is the menu going? Down the right side?
That's what I'm trying to figure out, read moar, look at pics less, lol. Any ideas?Quote:

One can barely see it. Nice website, by the way. What I'd recommend is that you use the same style as for your logo on that menu with a little less intensity.
Hmm, well I thought that would look very.. stark, for lack of a better phrase. I wanted it to be a bit more subtle. While it's kinda dark, there's not much there that can detract from it, since I framed it. I'll have a play with it, but I really want to keep this site very minimalist and subtle, compared to my lousy, unsubtle designs previously.Quote:

My bad, I like pictures :P
What about something like this? Apart from better, because my attempt sucks:
Hmm, nice idea with the lights, not a fan of the frame. So many ideas :phonegonk:
What if I just make the film frame a slightly transparent white instead of that blue? Image will be up inna sec.
E:
I think that actually looks really cool. Only thing I am not liking is the title thing, "feign". Seems a bit bland compared to all the rest. Almost as though you didn't try on it. But again, that's my opinion. :p
I would say this is definitely going in the right direction. I'd make the menu a litte easier for the eye to see (little less subtle) as you want to have site navigation be very easy for the end-user.
Feign's my last name, it's supposed to be a minimal design D:Quote:

Decided to ditch the dirty "oil" bitmap and just used a some what dirty bitmap, added a detail map in the shaders, made a new multi and added a new cubemap to it. The turn out was the two pics above me (and i think it resembles the halo 3 shaders abit :p) Anything i need to change? (other then some slight rigging errors you see)
It's Covenant in the way a good percentage of H1 maps are Forerunner.Quote:

semi -high poly MP-40 , inspired from CoD: WaW
I cant get an exact poly count for you right now, but with the bullets i modeled (also high-poly) its around 8,000 triangles
this wont be going ingame
I like the render.
The clip could be a tad bit bigger along with the counterpart above it were it holds it, make it slightly fatter. But it still looks cool. Can we get a wire frame and a poly count (accurate) if possible? Higuy, ill decrease the tint stuff in the cubemap parts, make it darker abit.
It looks fine to me lmao. Maybe not super detailed, but perfectly reasonable for halo 1 :SQuote:

So, after following Snaf's advice, I have this; a slightly lengthened and deeper backdrop, light moved more the the side and a new navbar.
E: does it look better with or without the film frames?
Well... What is the focus point, the screen or the logo? Right now the logo is winning my attenion over the display screen, but that may change when pictures are displayed. It's stylish, but I think the screen should have a border of some kind.... just makes my eye drag to the corner of the logo and not to the main thing, a border might help and also make it look less cluttered. Another thing is maybe move the screen a bit further down, and lengthen the logo across the top half left section its at and make the tripod longer.
edit- move tripod further over, make it higher, then extend logo more, maybe having a nav bar extend into border for screen?
Without the film frames is best - just makes sure they're equally distanced from each other.
Of course it's distracting when there's no content on the website. The photos are pretty much gunna fill up that backdrop. Additionally, I think a border would ruin the whole look of the backdrop. I don't think I should move the logo any further. I want to make it look like part of the website, not some addition off to the side.Quote:

If you went with the complementing colour, the whole light stand might have to be orange for example, or else it may look silly. This site's source theme is a good example.
2) The light stand needs a proper hard shadow.
edit: film frames for sure
D: so many conflicting ideas. The reason I gave the logo a yellow glow was so that it was sort of like a studio light. I just tried an orange glow, it looks really weird. I also tried giving the stand a hard shadow, looked out of context because, everything is softly lit, as if by a softbox. I still can't decide between the film frames or lack thereof.
I want to keep the colors very muted, as they're not to distract or conflict with the colors of the photos that will be shown. I was thinking for the gallery to use something along the lines of this: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/projects/autoviewer/
For the lazy, here's an example of what this flash gallery can look like (the distortion is just for effect, it's not actually there in the actual flash gallery, I don't know why the maker is making it look like that)
