lawl funny. Tags of Halo Reach comes when Halo 4 is released

Well,people tend to release things years after the original game goes gold.

And they're ripped, so they're high poly. And, unless you're running os, lag CE...

I think the opposite actually happens.
OS allows you to have more polies but I don't think it actually makes the game lag less.

Here, man.

C:
Anyone got crit or feedback on the model and the design of the weapon?

Looks pretty cool, show a wireframe.

out of curiosity, how far is this from in-game?

so far, it looks epic, and Having the H4 Br in maps will be awesome

you already Dl'd the H4 sound/icon pack I posted earlier, yes?

I did dl that earlier, but this is kidna far from Halo 4.
It's really a mix of 3 different weapons and some extras and it's current stage is way too high poly for Halo CE though it can be easily optimized.
Still, I have no plans for this and CE.
I do have a Halo 4 Assault Rifle, BattleRifle, DMR, and others but i cant share.
[not rips]

There's no need to bake the normals if you're using OS. OS shader_model tags allow you to use normals, it's part of the shader extensions section.

T.T
I'm pretty sure baking is the process of making normals

Your thinking of fake normal bumping the textures. Baking is baking detail onto a low-poly model from a high poly model through textures.

Have you got a wireframe btw?

baking the normals IS MAKING normal maps...

Well,OS is not needed for this...
Unless you are going for something really special,you could simply stick to vanilla Halo.

...That's why I shouldn't post at 3AM. Oops.

Here's a video of the laser, but the charging anim is a lie, it plays only when the gun is overcharged, so when you abort the charging, it shoots.

All i can say is it's sexy.

Yeah, I'll be making a low poly and baking normals and unwrapping with full Diffuse, Specular, and Normal maps

Make the first part of the melee animation faster.

I can't help but be reminded of a FAMAS. I never saw the resemblance with the scope on, but it has been influenced a lot by that.

Because it's partially based off a Famas.

Dmr wip.

opensauce shaders





its not quite done yet, all of the shaders are wip's especially the scope glass. and that handle on the side doesn't flip back when i fire so i need to fix that as well.

Oh God those DMR origins..

you need to fix your DMR origins, badly

@altheros, actually that is a model I ported myself, I just borrowed the animations temporarily in order to get it ingame, I plan to fix the origins after I finish the shaders. One question though, could I change the origins without redoing all the animations? The animations aren't nessecarily bad, just the orgin.

Open the model back up in 3ds/gmax. move model to the right. export. compile. bam.

Ok will do, I'll post back tomorrow as I actually improved the shaders a bit as well, also does anyone have any tips on getting the alpha channels on the decals to work? I'm not quite Shure what to compile them as.

actually that one is still too far forward, you shouldn't be able to see the butt of the rifle.

@altheros

I used the nodes from broke's dmr and rigged them to the dmr I ripped from reach. If you look, the leaked dmr is no where near as highly detailed.

@ altheros
i was a bit tired and up later that usual so i screwed up my message, the leaked dmr is what i meant.
@all non trolls

i worked a bit more on the shaders and changed the weapon orgin




anyone have any help on the getting the alpha on the decals to work properly?

how about looking at the rocket launcher decals ?
Change the settings of the bitmap then recompile the bitmaps through tool.

Is there anyway to tone down the reticule on the glass?

It's not so obvious in the Halo reach version, and the glass is more glossy, and a darker shade.

To get alpha maps to work properly open the bitmap tag, change it to compressed with explicit alpha, and recompile the bitmaps. For the windsheild to be less reflective, go to the bottom of the shader tag and set perpendicular brightness and parallel brightness to lower numbers. The gun still needs to go right.

no because i did not include a node for that yet. though i may in the future it is not in the plans for now.

Please,try to fix the hands.
The thumb isn't in the right place.Only the palms are being used to hold the rifle.
Edited by Dumb AI on Dec 6, 2012 at 10:44 PM

i have been attempting to fix the hands and move the origin again but ingame it isn't changing. at least i have almost finished the shaders. minus the scope that is
i had the use the ingame os menu to adjust the weapon position for these screens
