Or not. I'm leaning to something more like the Bio Rifle from UT. If the charged shot hits someone, instant death, but if it misses, it lands everywhere around where ever it hit and then explodes if people are near in a big nice green-blue (teal/aqua) flame.

Don't get me wrong, I love Maya. I use it a lot more often than max now a days. He had posted that max hadn't had a cut tool when I posted that speed work in Maya video, so I was making sure he knew there was one.Quote:

i prefer max over maya because it's BETTER :awesome:
also, WOT? max's smoothing is way betterer.
you just need to know how stuff workd. i love the fct you can just assign smoothing IDs, instead of going to each edge, and setting to to soft/hard.
i can see why people might feel that's easyer, but thats just because they cant remember what numbers they put on surfaces dur.
also, max is more customizable, and automatically updates in texture changes. i remember doing some scene in maya, and everytime i updated a texture i hat to reload that texture manually. i went mad.
oh yeah, like how everytime you save a new copy of the texture all you have to do is move the camera and it will change? Yeah thats nice, I didn't know you couldn't do that in maya. That would bug the shit outta me trying to fit a texture and having to reload everytime. :(
Even if you can't see it, believe me it sucks.

As for me, I specialize in doing character design and modeling. Thats one thing maya has a much better tool set and work flow for doing. Max on the other hand has a much better design and work flow set up for mechanical modeling, which is why tweek prefers using it. As you can see his best work is of weapons and vehicles.
However, the only thing that outweighs maya against max is the bundled features maya comes with such as fluids, cloth, hair, live motion capture, paint effects, etc which must be purchased separately as pluggins for max (at least as far as I know).
lolpwnt :3
Well, if Jah says it than I'll believe it. Maybe I just need to try harder with max.
I do really love hypershade though...
hurrrr it's a start.
i need moar high res.

niiiice Tweek
*edit* if you can pull that model off, you'll win the internet.
hurrrr, i'll do my best :>
wait it's not dano's gun is it?
rofl no
Basically all I'm saying is:

Also, tweek, I've wondered this for a while... does your view port ever lag, and if so, how do you deal with it? Hide sections you aren't dealing with? Seems hard to work with. Anyway, good job.
Here are some of the ways I deal with it:Quote:

3. I forget how to activate it, but theres this thing in max that changes your model into a wireframe box when you move the camera, and gets rid of all the FSP lag. I don't use it though, as my models never get that high poly.
I'm pretty sure it's the button "O." Though I'm not sure I remember correctly.
How did you do the texture thing on the tube thing?Quote:

Made this, took me about 45 minutes.

I forgot to plan and make the design tile, I'm stupid and I forgot. Ah well, still looks cool.
So use it as a centrepiece.
Looks good. Also, that symbol with the two circles in your sig... looks a lot like the Tau divisional emblems in DoW: DC :p
If you can pull that thing off I will worship you as though you were a god.Quote:

ye, i hide and unhide alot of stuff, lets me see all around the object while im working on it too, and dont have to worry about other things blocking my view when i rotate around the object.
and the tube, that's not a texture, that's geometry :D
i'll make a timelapse of the next bit i'm going to work on, so you can see how and what and blah.
Good idea :D
:gonk: Also, was it really worth it to model those tiny details on the tubes? Can't you just do that with a normal map? Yes I know, geometry is always better, but still...Quote:

in any case, the whole process of making it all isnt really hardware-intensive. since it's all raw geometry, no fancy textures, multi-pass shades, pixelshaders, displacement mapping, whatever technical stuff you see in games, it's got no extra load displaying it. (that's when you don't have edged faces on, since that actually adds plenty to be calculated along with the mesh itself)
in short, even you can do it.
told you the lama mackz fail.Quote:

------------------------
edit:
------------------------
kay.
tonight's work. not much, but meh, every bit counts.
had a lot of problems with this piece, because the concept sucks, 2D =/= acurate :saddowns:
that's also why the foot is so incomplete, the drawing im working from just has some bits floating there, now that might be fine on a concept drawing, but it leaves me to come up with a system that can actually move those pieces around :maddowns:
same goes for that piece of arm. at the top it's right in the middle,but at the bottom, it's aligned with the side of the other bits. and it's slimmer too, so bah, spent a while trying to get that to work, but it worked out in the end i guess.
also, now that i've added some things to it, and get to see the bigger picture, and scale of things, i'm wondering why i put so much effort into SUCH small details you'll never see anyway, it'll be like 1 pixel on the normalmap :saddowns:
wasted effort ftl.
http://xs319.xs.to/xs319/07363/buugggzzzz.jpg
moar tomorrow.
another edit:
the new bit actually has some nice grooves on it, but it diceded not to show up on this:saddowns:, it'll be there next time
That is :awesome:. Can't wait to see you finish it.
Yeah, thats the problem with concepting. I'm making a gun I designed, and I didn't think far enough ahead and now I've gotta devise and model a system that a covenant gun operates :X
Looking great, Tweek!
Good stuff Tweek

This is something I did for an art show in the summer, copied from a screenshot on Bungie.net and redone in pencil. My scanner sucks, this was the best quality I could make it without cropping the original.
that's really cool!
i'm curious, did you learn anything from it?
did it somehow help you draw better?
i really need to improve on my drawing.
amybe something like this is decent practice.
Thanks, I learned a lot from it. I learned:
1. Proportions are everything when you lay out the drawing (in my last chief pic his head was waaay too big).
2. Drawing from real life, or in this case from a picture, can improve you as an artist and help develop your style. Copying from other's artwork, however good, can't because it forces you to use that artist's particular style.
3. Some places aren't meant to be filled in. (His visor)
4. ALWAYS use a good combo of dark and light in your shading to make the picture stand out. Never just sketch an image with no shading and call it done.
Nice one, though the proportions are a bit out on the helmet
*edit* beat me :P
How long did it take you? An hour, 2?
3 weeks of art classes, 2 hours each day, so...if I got my math right... that's 6 hours. Not too bad. The first 2 hours were all outlining, and then the other 4 was all shading.
EDIT: Wow I'm the 666 post. Bad luck.
Actually, you are post 667, DANO is 666. :D
Anyway, looks nice, but some parts on the helmet are out of proportion, as previously stated. The right hand looks a little weird too, but it is still nice.
Aside from the head (which you've pointed out), what's with the shading at the end of his weapon? Looks almost like a cross section of an oak. Other then that, it looks great. Shading in other areas is pretty well done(at least where you put the effort into it).Quote:

Also, I recognize the lower left of the helmet is off. The head size is perfect in proportion to the real human body, but I forgot this isn't a normal human head, its a guy with a hugeass helmet on.
Beautiful drawing :) +rep
*sets drawing as wallpaper*
:awesome:
That makes a lot of sense that he'd get post #666. It's part of his screen name on Halo, I think.Quote:

Designed a map this morning, about 30 minutes drawing, Didn't try very hard as you can tell but I got the rough mental picture down on paper.
I'd model that if I had the time. I like the little levels of ground that go upwards, would make for some fun sniping.
No need, I'm modelling it right now, pretty much done, kinda. Just gotta tweak all the terrain then start the bases and structures.
*edit* oh snap just finished modelling it, saved it was about to start unwrapping but the file corrupted so I gotta start over :downs:
ah well I guess thats 3 hours wasted, not that bad I guess.
Bases are kinda :/ They're gonna get hella camped. High ground usually means an advantage. Those bases are going to have to be bigger.
Well I was going to have the player spawn points right around the edges of the cliffs, barely any near the actual base.
People are still going to camp. The base needs to be further back; across an open area plus some hills to hide behind like Bloodgulch's base areas. Maybe elevate the bases and the hills near them a bit so you have a sort of shallow ravine between this middle area and the bases. This'll help balance out the offense/defense, but it would still be very hard to get past the middle if there are people there defending the area and not really moving. That's where your tunnels to the side come in; to help provide more routes.
About the side tunnels too, I think two of them could be a potential problem here, especially with your bases so close to the center tunnel "A" right now. Where the side tunnels attach to tunnel "A" should be removed. Instead, place the exit from the side-tunnel up where the rocket launcher spawns. This way, escapees with the flag wont have as many places to run and hide.
Next, it'd be great if one of these side tunnels was removed as I hinted to in my last paragraph. This could open up a whole area for a vehicle route that meanders around in a U shape. It could also provide an alternative foot route, with a teleporter going from base---> 2/5 way around the "U" helping to shorten the running distance along this "U". Then, you have another front that battles can occur on.
I'd provide a drawing of this layout, but I gotta get to bed. PM me if you want one tomorrow.
a playtest will tell you what's good and bad.
also, one base higher than the other usually doesn't work too well, remember lolcano? that was near imposible with CTF.
i suggest having a similar slope/cliff/stuff on the other side as well, but in a cave for them or something.
Great drawings all round, also map looks interesting :D
:awesome:
I just can't seem to draw a chief :saddowns:
I love the square emotion; somebody should make that.
Fuck, I really like that style Jahrain. I've never seen it done with PS before, looks sort of like a pencil crayon drawing or something.
