Not dark for me :/
You're a tool, my monitor is perfectly fine. 60/60/60 is medium grey, like it should be. Black is black, white is blinding fucking white, and grey is grey, not black. I honestly don't get why people complain things are so dark when they're not even close.Quote:

ross, admit it, you're wrong. If you're the only person who ever needs to deal with a certian image, then it's fine for you to take advantage of the insane contrast of your monitor, but some people do not have that benefit, and if your work is to be shared with others, you have to work around such limitations.
gosh.
e: bring it on, I'm not afraid of your neg repping might.
It's not dark at all to me either ;___;
BTW, saw this and some of the other stuff on ModDB. Awesome stuff is awesome. Good thing I have a copy of UT3, this is the first mod I've seen for it that has really interested me.
So...when are you going to texture the booby lady? xD
I saw this LONG AGO on moddb but never thought it would meet me here.

Models by Teh Lag, uv mapping and textures by me.
In before everyone else... and may I say...
:eek:Holy hell.
Looks good man, and as always keep up the great work.
Edit: Can't rep you agghhhhhhh....
christ dane, you're a beast
Looking really nice, I like that head on the last pic :embarrassed:.
Fucking hell! Those look rediculously nice!
Now make them look that good in HaloCE :D That would kick Halo 3's ass. Awesome models as well.
they look like action figures.
BADASS ELITES ARE BADASS.
Noice.
<3 as always, sexing up my models.
Wait, what's with the hexagons on assault helmet? Didn't notice them in your earlier renders D:
I poot them there. Cause.
:words:Quote:

Teh Lag, models are horrible, burn them in a file shredder, and do it over again.
Dane, those bitmaps are fucking fail sauce, do it again.
If you didnt notice, that was all sarcasm. :P
There are two things I don't like on the model actually. The feet seam weird
And the lower leg armer near the feet, it just seems... different from the rest of the armer, and out of place.
I don't like the back of the feet, they look like basketball shoes :\Quote:

It's not really hi res tbh.
OH. it's just crap then :D
I wonder what the Elites would look like in the Unreal Engine...:neckbeard:
Hell, I was even thinking of asking lag if we could give the rigged model and textures to EvilEngine to see if he wanted to put get them working in UT3.
By the way, I'm currently trying to design a pseudo forerunner soldier/spartan.
This is what I have so far:
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/901...spartanxn3.jpg
Fucking forerunner is a tricky cunt. It started out as really angular but looked failure, so I'm going by the curvy forerunner style that appeared in the pre xbox concept art for halo 1, and mixing it up with a bit of inspiration from the Elites armour.
fix the helmet, it's too bulky
Could I model it for you when done?
I think it would look better in a dark grey camoflauge pattern than the green you're using.

It looks to much like an elite, but I like where your going with it. Remember that the sentinels recognized chief as a "reclaimer" because of his armor, so the mjolnir and the forerunner armor suits should have a similar appearance, preferably in the visor region. If you ask me, the helmet makes the suit's "character", and the visor is the coup de grace of the helmet, so it makes sense for the visor to look similar in shape and placement.
He also recognized Miranda as a Reclaimer, because of her armour? :downs:Quote:

Well remember that the Covenant thought it heretical to alter the Forerunner technology, so it's possible Forerunner weapons and armour looked very much like what the Covenant useQuote:

Because again, technological alteration = heresy.Quote:

Teh Lag can model it if he wants. :v I'm still going to model it, unless of course, Dane is going to model it. :O
I may just. I was thinking of learning zspheres and zbrush with it.
Also, Pooky has nailed it on the head in terms of the direction I was taking with this thing. It's going to be covey like, but more the anatomy of a "being" that is a mix between elite and human, with more angular edges and more circuitry like details not unlike the sentinals. MY concept is a bit too curvy, granted, but when modelling time comes, It'll actually be a bit more edged and defined, and not clean and well kept like covie stuff is. Very ornamented and will also try to incorporate holograms into it somehow.
Also, I've been learning Material Expressions in Unreal Ed 3, made a nice forerunner texture material, heres a jewtube
Seriously, UE3 owns so hard it's not funny.
yeh i fuckin 2nd that man.
Looks great! UE3's material system is awesome.
And you're material looks great too.
You know you can toggle realtime preivew for animated textures so you don't have to keep moving your mouse around like that. It's the three buttons right next to the three green checkboxes.
Hah, didn't know that :P
Thanks :)
Also, I was playing wiht my PR skins in Unreal Ed, got some cool stuff happening:
Theres my material setup

Whole texture

For those of you who are noobs and know nothing about unreal ed, those pics are real time, not rendered, using the games visuals. Just print screens.
TAKE ME NOW!...
lol, i need Unreal Tourn 3, Direly.
to dane:
told you.
very nice :D
only 30 bucks man, what are you waiting for. (get it off steam)Quote:

I'm really considering getting UT3 now, because of this and all the other mods I've seen. Good work, can't wait to see more!

My spin on a blackhawk helicopter.
It's a scenery piece only for the UT3 mod, Warm Gun, which is why the model itself isn't exactly true to concept or detail. There was a poly budget. Pipe down ok. I then did further put my own spin on it with the texture detailing, I don't know helicopters or aircraft ok, but fuck you.
I would like to just say, I skinned that entire thing in one day, today infact, from 9 am, till 10 pm ive been sitting on this dam chair, handpainting normals and textures ALL FUCKING DAY, since the thing was due tonight.
I know it's a bit rough in places, and it IS meant to be weathered and rusty, so don't go shooting your mouths off about that. I did this in one sitting, so it's not exactly perfect yet, but it'll do for now.

Scenery object that has been sitting in the one outdoor open place for god knows how long, in a desert blown war ravaged landscape. The team actually wanted it rustier and covered in more sand.Quote:

Fuck, I need to finish that ******* so you can skin it.
Looks far overdone. To much rust, grime, etc. It looks like someone parked it in the Vietnamese jungle and left it for 3 years.
Wow man... jeez.Quote:

It's fucking supposed to be rusty you moron. The thing has been sitting outside in the one place for over 50 years in the mods storyline. It's a dilapidated scenery prop. It's not meant to be usable. I thought I mentioned this.
My team wants it to be even rustier and dirtier than that. For the level it's going in, this thing should actually be covered in dirt from head to toe.
http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/COLD_5.jpg
I'm really fucking sick and tired of people in this community not being able to see the direction of something. I'm sick of having to fucking explain everything.
I think Dane has gone mad with power...
:tinfoil:
I've gone mad from stupid posts like yours. Theres nothing to do with power. Any power you think I have is a projection from your own personal inferiority and insecurities and your need to require a scapegoat.
Well when you made the 50 years comment I was like "Oh...then its not rustic enough >.>"
You need to chill. No one here gives a crap about your bad attitude. Grow some balls and deal with "stupid" criticism like a man or don't fucking bother to post your work. Your always making last minute excuses to cover your ass. If you had said it was supposed to have 50 years of dilapidation instead of just saying "its supposed to be a bit rough in places" in the first place then you wouldn't have to get in these little tissy fits.

Style is incredibly subjective past a certain point, and unless you're the one who came up with the vision you're in no place to call out people for not having "balls" for disagreeing with your comments. That goes triple when he did explain that the style was meant to be beat up - it's not up to you where "weathered and rusty" becomes too much, because it's not your vision.Quote:

Yes, Dano might have been more agressive than necessary, but that's what happens when you always have to explain what the style is because people focus on it rather than the actual content.
Try one of those chill strips. You put it on your tongue, it dissolves, chill. :cool:

I'm not angry that he doesn't take my criticism. I don't care about the outcome of this project of his, I was only giving an opinion based on the information given, and of course, the picture. What irritates me is his attitude about criticism. It's all too easy to ignore posts, but he insists on being childish and attacking people.Quote:

Then he and masterz explode on the curious and uninformed replies like little children.
If someones going to take that attitude, then why even post work?Quote:

The thing is, you never explained that in the first place, you just posted the picture. So you really cant blame people for asking questions about it when there was no explanation in the first place. There was no need to blow up on people it.Quote:

Dane protip, it's good to keep mod stuff to your mod team, it's cool to show stuff off some times, but when you do be ready to get an ear full from ignorant fools that have no idea of what game design is; Or the good old worthless comments "OMGAOMGAOG GREAT STUFF I HAVE BONER FOR U"
.
Mech's 2.5 cents.
[Adding onto mech's]
But also consider the crit from the small minority of people who do know what they're talking about, and try not to be overly defensive as the line between the 2 can easily become blurred and someone who does have the best intentions at heart might get confused with a trolling ignant. Just take every crit form every point of view and actually take the time to revise what they're saying, don't automatically dismiss it.
I love it, but I think you went a little crazy with the paneling. Could you be bothered to add some color to the diffuse? Like a drab of olive green, or gun metal black. It just seems to silver for my tastes.
yes, except ironclad isnt one of those people.Quote:

Anyway, Con, Croccy, I agree. Thing is though, It'd be way too hard for me to change it now. I'd be better off restarting the whole thing, which I CBA to do. I could, just change the bump map and repaint the diffuse, but maybe at a later point when I have more shit free'd up.
Btw, just to point it out, it doesn't really have near enough panels, the problem is that the panels I do have are way too defined and the edges are too thick, so they really pop out. What I needed was more fine ones and less thick ones. The fact that the nature of the piece is rusty and dirty doesn't help the lines either, because they fill up with rust and water marks, so they get accentuated more in the diffuse. My bad really, but if my team doesn't mind, I don't mind.
I'm also going to add some camo pattern to it I think, It'll be quite faded and scratched up, but it should introduce enough colour variation to keep it looking interesting. I don't want it to blend in too much, but I don't want it to pop out, I don't want people to see it, I want them to notice it, that way it's more fluid and natural.
Also, I agree with Mech.
I also disagree with Chains, because Tweek is right.
Your sounding like an absolute douche bag dane, if you where in the same room as me, i'd slap you right now.
theres no need, reason or excuse to carry on the way you are, Get yourself under control and re-assess why you do what you do.
E: look i'm not trying to start a fight or what ever, i just cant stand temperamental people, at all and dane has been increasingly becoming more and more aggressive over really stupid and petty shit for the last 6 months.
Theres a cause and effect, yes... but there wasnt any need for that shit.
it makes you appear to be a little 13yr old girl.
and after all
the more you flip out..... the more you will flip out.
Dane has a point though. Anything he makes he has to explain which I have noticed. It was a bit agressive. But I can see why when people don't use their imagination.Quote:

It's to the state where it's hard to tell if he's just slipped up a bit and lost control, or whether this is the new dano.
I havnt realy noticed him getting aggressive. Maybe something is going on in his social life...?
/end discusion.
I wonder if Dane would be interested in texturing a Halo 3 scarab.
i'm part of his social life rofl
I never said iron clad was one of those people,and with tweek agreeing with me on that, dane, then you are technically agreeing with me. :rolleyes:
I guess it might be too late to play with the model but on the door lets say you might want to put a plan there with a seperate bitmap that has an opacity map. I have seen a few cars in the woods that are totally rusted out and a helicopter in this environment I'm sure would be too.
