Dee, I can see where you are going from a mile away, don't start that shit in this thread.
For people wondering why above reply, pm me and do not get off topic, and I will explain to you what dee and cls did to hunter, though he did over react too.
What? What did DEE and CLS do to hunter?
He asked a rather pertinent question, drama or not I would like to see the wires myself...
Fair enough Lol. And yeah, Dee, you mension that word, and your having a nuke on your house, that argument is long finished.

how can you bare to model with 5 or more sided faces?
Doesn't matter if it doesn't go in game...Quote:

They will stay the same. Hidden edges are just hidden. they're still there.
When you model with polygons the triangles are being calculated automatically.
I know, I use the turn tool and turn them to how I see fit.
Yeh I just find it easier to work with legit faces so I dont get confused and in fubarnation. Also looks prettier imo :PQuote:

I've been wanting to make some shirts for a while.... and so I just emailed a local shop this picture to see if they can do it... but either way... what do you guys think of the design?

The back of the shirt would say Juice in a similar way (that splatter would wrap around to the back.)
Just a note, This was a fourteen second job in photoshop, just to get a basic idea down before spending a lot of time on something that might never happen.
It's a cool design, but wrap-arounds can be pretty pricey.
Yeah... and I'm not sure how you would be able to give us all free t-shirts if they cost you a fortune. :rolleyes:Quote:

He's dipping ;]
He looks deep fried or something... and not realistic at all... he's very flat.
Not really sure what you were going for.
E:
If you were trying to make him look younger you failed because you removed a bunch of wrinkles/creases in the face that everyone has. That's also why he looks flat.
You got rid of the crease by the edge of his mouth and around the side of his nose, making his nose look flat and his mouth look tiny. You should have left in (or made new) wrinkles by his eye to try to make that look more realistic.
Um nice attempt but he probably wouldnt have that collapsed chin/lip thing goin on that old folk do. If he did, he was one ugly inbred mother fucker (hope its not your grandad)

O RLY? :P
I do know... im just OCD/hate fat ugly faces (sorry hunter) badum-ttshhhhhh.
Hair shouldbe dark in color, not white, he should have side burns and not a receding hair line, even the youngest face has some creases from muscles and indentations from skin stratching over the skull. Overall it seems very rushed.

black is normal flat poly
Red is where you should cut
If you don't cut it at red, it could auto triangulate where green is.
it could, it doesn't always, but its a good habit to get into for separating faces like that
Oh god he looks like he's been in a nuclear blast and his skin's melted.
Looks like a burn victim.
too many 'Oil of Olay' skin tests
I think I overdid it a little, but when it comes to getting rid of years, one must have a vision of what the guy should look like younger, rather than simply removing wrinkles, one must tighten skin too. Anyway, this was a relatively quick job so it's not perfect, but you get the idea.
Still doesn't look perfect but as you said, it was a quick edit to show him and you've pretty much got it down. The creases running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, the neck, above the chin, around the nostrils, and around the corners of the eyes and mouth should be there no matter what. In some cases they're not as easy to see, but they should always be there unless the person has never, ever made a facial expression in their life (or is a burns victim).
Thanks for showing me what you mean, I probably wont mess with him anymore. I just had a day in from rain after school so I was just finding something to do for fun.
But next time I will know how to make it more realistic.

I called a place back home to see what it'd be, and they said that it'd only be $6.70 per shirt, or if I buy 48+ of em it'd be $6.37 per shirt.Quote:

But yea... apparently it's pretty cheap to make your own shirts... to hell with buying new shirts, I'm just going to design my own from now on haha.
Heh. Especially if your good at ps and illustrator. You can make some kick ass designs.
The nose and lips need to shrink.
I'm kinda bickering on which shader i should use
should i use this
or this
Obviously i need to fix the issue on the rubber part
OR
malolo's rig needs to go lol
btw the last spartan picture bitmaps are custom :)
I need help on which one i should mainly use, since i might release it or lend it to other people for their maps
Its hard to tell, since all 3 are different colors and different lighting. Show them off side by side in 1 picture with the same lighting, position, and color.
D: thats kinda hard to do... each one was taken on a different date and the tags are separate...ill add them up tomorrow but scratch number 2 picture, ill do 1 and 3

So today I made this with Animanatee:Quote:

[23:13] Ollie: Is there any other universe where a lone zulu spearman on a hilltop can destroy a stealth fighter jet?
[23:13] Jason: hahahaha
[23:14] Jason: how does that happen?
[23:14] Ollie: Because the level up system/defense system/random rolls in civ 4 are fubar
[23:14] Ollie: If you build a unit correctly, it can't attack worth a damn but anything that attacks it dies.
[23:14] Ollie: no matter what the unit is
[23:15] Ollie: But I mean
[23:15] Ollie: you just picture this spearman
[23:15] Ollie: Hopping a mile into the air Final Fantasy dragoon style
[23:15] Ollie: And shoving his spear through the cockpit
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/inca.gif
I think it needs a little less of him shoving a spear into the jet, and more of him shoving his spear into the jet.
What the christ?Quote:

I would like to know what anyone else thinks of it so far this is the first time i've opened photoshop in a long ass time and its also my first UVwrap.
The sparts not yet textured im planning on looking like carbon fibre shielding that surrounds the metal sphere.
I've yet to find a tutorial on how to do that though so if anyone knows of a few good tutorials please let me know.

If you want to make the uvs better, then don't waste so much space with it. As it is now, you've got quite a bit of space that can be occupied, but isn't.
It'll just use its thrusters. :gonk:Quote:

uhh looks like...um..work on how the water looks, it doesnt look like water D: and water shouldnt act so wavy like that unless its really disturbed, make it abit more calmer, but its good for a first animation
Reminds me of the membrane animation Discovery Channel had when they were broadcasting a show about string theory and membrane theory...
Anyway. I'd go with spartan on this one. Water usually "whitecaps" when it is that high from being disturbed.
It doesnt look organic. It looks like two people are holding a sheet and waving it.
By their smoothness and speed, they look like small waves. This is meant to be filmed from I boat, so I would slow them down a bit, almost like slow motion film used with models in movies. Even then, the waves are too frequent and violent. For stormy water, waves should curve out through a shallow valley then reach sharp windy peaks. The material doesn't look oceany either. Use this for reference in both wave shape and appearance.

Yeah, remember that waves are created by winds, so generally they'll have a common movement and a slight drag in the general direction the wind is blowing.
water is organic!?Quote:

I went WAY overboard on the scratches. This will be fixed. I also plan to add more to the normal map. Anyway, I made this entire thing from scratch. The model, the highres i used to bake the normal and AO maps, the textures, everything. All I need is a person who can rig well to rig it, then I'll release it to the public (with open source data files... the baked diffuse and multi, and the max file for it so you can animate with it).
Basically, I wanted to make a high res version of the h1 arms, with a few modifications.
No offense, but the scratches look like wood.
I won't judge until I see you fix the scratches... I do like the model though.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the scratches on the colour change so that it doesn't stand out so much... and the scratches themselves. I'll probably use a better brush and not make as many.
The black looks like a bit like a wetsuit made of packing foam to be honest
Oh, and just another random thought... the forearm seems short... but that could just be me.
Think it's that texture I put on it? if that's it, I'll ditch it. If it's because of the normal map, then can you give suggestions of how it should look?Quote:

Look any better? I'm really at a loss with what to do with the rubber.
Detailing, like in this pic
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images..._screen009.jpg
And here
http://buttonmashing.com/wp-content/...alo3-hands.jpg
still have a ways to go as far as the normal map goes (which then somewhat alters the diffuse and spec). i'll look at the h2 fp hands normal map and i guess the h3 normal map for reference. thanks for the idea.
That's much better. I think that the black texture needs to have some kind of detailing standout, albeit subtly, because right now there are parts of it that look almost flat (but this may be just nit-picking). Also, the thing that looks like a fin at the very top of the the texture (on the bottom picture), it looks a bit stretched, or maybe that's because of the scratches.Quote:

I can barely see the lines that make it up.Quote:

Add those 3 holes on the gauntlet. Or some lines and other details.
I wanted it to stay like h1 for the most part, so I'm not adding those in.
So wait, are those the Halo 1 arms, or ones you made? The hands look different but the rest looks exactly the same so I'm a bit confused.
i made them from scratch
Yeh I thought they were odd.
Changed the skin and rigged the mesh. The rig is MUCH worse than the pics let on, especially around the wrist. Also yes yes I know there is stretching on the hand.
Did you screw around with your FoV? Or is it just the way the way its positioned?
I screwed around with FOV
looks like the armours made of a mossy stone
I actually like it.
Lag pointed out how strong the dirt and grime was. I made it less apparent, so it should look more like metal again.Quote:

No, you could apply a cubemap without a multi. But then the cubemap would just apply to everywhere on the fp arms.
Don't forget the glowy shield lights.
Looks awesome, scratches seem better than before.
i like the rubber/leather/black parts.
