That's not at all a bad start, but it seems as if somebody else has beaten you to it.

Considering how much progress Martyn has made already, I think it might be wise if you switched to a different Halo 4 gun (a lot of the weapons look pretty cool too). I mean, I don't believe we really need two versions of the exact same thing if one is already really good. Now, keep in mind that this is an opinion and you can do whatever you want, and I wish you luck on anything you do.

I think you may be right my friend. I'm going to start on one of those new forerunner guns, or the plasma auto carbine covie thing (Dunno what it is but it looks cool)

texture i did

REROUT modeled it.

Wow that's really neat!

Textures could use work but it looks good.

Well I decided that I am going to finish the H4 BR, because it has the most reference pictures, and I would like to finish it.

Progress:

Two star wars weapons I am working on for hoboscience's star wars project. Feedback is welcome, currently animating a wookie bowcaster to go with them.

I do love the bowcaster...

The E-11 is pretty good, but the DL-44 could use some work. It looks slightly cartoony, but not bad. Both could do with better animations, particularly the pistol. The recoil doesn't seem quite right, and he holds it oddly. Use Star Wars Battlefront II's animations for each as a reference, perhaps?

Maybe consult additional references for the models themselves; if you can't find any good references, the E-11 is essentially a Sterling submachine gun, while the DL-44 is a modified Mauser C96.

I am working on the bowcaster now.

The models and textures are really old, I only picked the project back up because someone actually needed some starwars weapons. So I am not changing the model or textures. I might tweak the animations, but idk yet.

I was trying to reproduce the recoil on the dl44 from the movies and I kinda like how it came out.

Nevermind i thought someone already finished the halo 4 battle rifle model

Martyn Ball has one that seems finished. I only continued because I didn't want my first weapon model to end half-finished.

E: It's near the top of the page.

and it's looking good, keep going with it.

This isn't a weapon but it has to do with weapons.



Should I make any adjustments to the style or is it good to use? 1 of 5 bitmaps.

yeah i would change the weapon icon to the h4 rifle and maybe ask ODX to hurry up with animating it if he is still doing it.

nah only joking, it looks fine to me.

Looks good 1337!

I can't wait to use it!!

You should really use max/maya for game assets. As well as giving you too many sides on cylinders, other programs could also cause other issues with normals and open edges when you import it into max.

It's looking okay so far though. Check your proportions on the thickness of parts.

Hey Mooose, I don't know if you would like to try h4 loadouts but this Is my attempt at it:



If you want to use it go ahead, just consider it as a friendly gesture :D

That looks pretty nice bro. I'll think over and, and see if it would fit in with the map's style. Thank you for the suggestion!

I never really got a proper model from him to do any animations, though I do have a set I was making for it, placed onto the Halo 3 BR that I could port over.

Personally, I think it looks awesome!

I've spent more time on the H3 SMG and I think the reload empty sequence is done.

Decide on your own. :P

That is an awesome animation! It looks really good but still natural get this in game pronto.

ah i see, i thought you probably had the final low poly model, i remember a post from a few weeks ago, but the mag was missing from the rar. there was mention of hunter pming it to you.
i honestly took for granted that this was the model ready for you to animate.

Nope, you aren't done.

Right now it looks really lazy which seems more like something I would do, but then at the end it's a little more refined in the movements section and tougher at the charging part. I would just say you can kinda exaggerate movements a bit more since right now you're really keeping them into one sorta of confined space when you have the entire screen to fill. I dunno, I guess I just like putting the gun further out on the X-Axis and believe you to have it kinda close in.

Actually, mainly I'm just having troubles with the mag-out. Just doesn't look right, maybe since the mag doesn't fly away quick enough (although that's because you aren't flinging it away, which I guess is what I've been trying to say with all my babbling here).

But just so you don't think I'm a terrible person, I still do like the animation. Good job. Don't cry. Thanks. Bye.

-ODX :D

Thanks for the critics! I really appreciate your hints.

Well, right now I'm just not used to go for extremely exaggerated animations, so I'm probably a bit out of practice. Halo, however, needs those.

Whatever, I'll have a look at the animation again.

Am i the only person who thinks its much better to make textures high rez then just scale them down if need be?
half the time I come in here i see some really nice textures that would be a thousand times better if they were higher res.

well yes, but when you convert them specifically for halo then compression is all the same. I just wish people here would do a little higher res.

That takes a lot of memory since halo's compression is very bad. You quickly get 2mb per bitmap in highres if true color...
People need to optimize their unwrappings, but unwrappng is hard enough lol

When I try to change the ammo capacity of the MA5C, the numbers on the counter stay at 32. How can I change them to 60?

You need to change the numbers.shader_transparent_chicago numeric counter limit to 60.

It doesn't seem to have worked; it's still reading 32.

Make sure it's the same shader referenced in your assault rifle's FP gbx model (not "assault rifle\assault rifle.gbxmodel", "assault rifle\fp\fp.gbxmodel")
