I get asked a lot how to make those forerunner uprights like you see on the delta temples, beam towers, and other such stuff. There's a really simple approach to this, so here it is documented for you guys :party:

Did it have to be one big picture? My internet is having a heart attack loading that thing. Split it up into pieces please :)
Thanks for teh share. ;)
Can't you just use chamfer on the bridged edges to create those details instead of quickslice?
You could do that, but chances are thatQuote:

Wish I made my forerunner tutorial easy as this to follow.
One odd thing I've noticed is that a good number of towers in H2 use 26.6º angles rather than 30º. Dunno why, but it looks better than 30º angles in a number of places.
You're correct. Also, in the demo, the taper from top to bottom is 5º, where on the delta halo temples it's something around 2º.Quote:

If you're dumb, then yes those will happen all the time, otherwise there's a few occasions where you need to fix verticies. Otherwise chamfer tends to make a really nice forerunner look on edges, and works fine for the most part.Quote:
