Quick-Crit 2008-2009

[Heathen]

I was thinking that about the grain.

[HDoan]

Reminds me of gundam, where the core booster, upper torso, and legs had to combine.

The Impulse gundam?

[rossmum]

ross mb you should shut up.

no i shouldn't, mister design language

You were the one who drummed that concept into me (albeit indirectly) and I see no reason there should be an exception made for rails, just because people seem to get off over the same repeated shapes on things. If you want attachment points, match them to the designs evident already or devise a new one based on the aforementioned designs. Don't shoe-in something nearly 550 years away and very different in design from what you're meant to be making.

The reason I listened to Masterz is because he had the same thought as me. It adds something to look at on the top. I would like to make it more interesting but I dont know what to put on it... I will change the front handle as well.

It adds bugger all to the top except boring generic shapes. If you want to add something to the top, add something that isn't just the same toothed pattern repeating over and fucking over. Do something original.

Agreed.
I think Rossmum needs to remember what the fi in sci-fi means, science FICTION not FACT.

I think everyone else needs to remember what the word originality means.

[Malloy]

innovation*

[rossmum]

That too.

[FireScythe]

Hey, just looking for opinions on a hovertank i'm making. Currently sitting at a little over 43,000 triangles. Most of the detail objects will be put into texture and the whole thing reduced to work in CE.
Front/Top:

Back/Bottom:

Ortho/Wireframe (Sorry Dial-ups:P)

[NuggetWarmer]

Wow, that looks awesome.

[Joshflighter]

omg, that looks like something out of Red Alert 3, but in a really good way. Wow.

[CSFLOYD]

That is awesome! Its really futuristic and detailed, I recomend getting someone to (attempt) unwrapping and texturing that! Nice..

Cant wait to see it in Halo CE! I cant think of anything else to add to that piece of win.

[kid908]

need a hatch. that's my only crit. how about a high poly cinematic end of it? some actual modeled panels screws etc. love to see it in full high detail, but the half-assed detailed still looked awesome (not saying it half assed, more high end game model).
