@Diaboy do you still have that custom MA5k ? I'm quite interested in ingaming it as we need a replacement for CMT's which we had complain about style not fitting with the rest of bigass tagset.

I see no problem with it. :S

And have you considered Kenney's MA5K model?

Funny you should mention it, I am hoping to do the high poly in the next month or so (currently have a bloody horrible deadline at my work for next week) but I don't know if that fits in to your timescale? I have the old model but it has no UVs as of yet so I'd like to avoid putting that online if at all possible…!

Sorry, edit to be more clear - you can have the current version I have, but I will be upgrading it soon - just depends on when you need it.

I have also just remembered it is on my old hard drive, so I will need to work out some way of getting it off with the limited hardware I have here….

Currently animating Halo reach tagset, because there isn't a proper one with custom animations and shaders, been animating them for the past 4 months:





Halo 4 Lightrifle (not extracted/ripped), fully modeled in Softimage 2014

If you've been animating them the past four months, what are these scenes that aren't set up then? Ones you're about to work on?

That's right.

Ok so I'm getting too many errors linking gun frames w/ reach FP arms in 3ds Max 2014 so I'l have to do them in Maya.

I've been trying to piece one together bit by bit over the past couple of years.
Not much to show for it, but I do have a few. (Plasma Repeater, DMR, Plasma Launcher... half a shotgun (animations aren't done)).
I'm sure I could donate a few to the effort of a complete Reach tagset. PM me or something if you're interested.

I deleted all the custom content I had, I dropped out all projects. I have better stuff to do.

Some times it's okay to go back in search for help.

Has anyone gotten a good iteration of the machete from Halo's difficulty emblem in-game yet?

So I decided to mess around, mush a bunch of models together, and edit a few textures. I cranked these two abominations out. Comments and suggestions are welcome.




This one was per request by Echo-77:




Who knows, I might decide to turn this into a whole pack of tacticool and older-fashioned Halo weapons.
Edit: I do know that I didn't add a left hand marker on either of these weapons, so don't comment on that, please and thank you.

They look rlly good.

13/10 would hunt bears/low-flying aircraft with.

I'm guessing it's the map.

Tutorial has bad lighting. The shaders themselves are not the issue.

yes. Hr3shy ingamed it a while ago and I did animations for it a few months before. Its set up so that left click does one melee animation while right click does another. I'm probably going to redo the animations for it though, as they look pretty bad (except the ready, that style is great)

Is this better?


Many radiosity
Such daylight
So brightness
Wow
Oh, and I also made the vents on the shotgun circular, again at Echo's request.




Edited by ReconNinja117 on Apr 8, 2014 at 03:53 PM

It does have specular, it's just really subtle (you can't really see the reflection without looking around). I'll pick a more pronounced cubemap and see if it looks better.

It looks pretty damn good.

More reflection, those circular vents make such a good difference.

Shiny gun is bad for concealment. o:

Continuing my Tacticool series, (I guess you can call it a series since it has more than one entry now) I tried making an LMG variant of the MA37. Right now I'm not sure about it. I'm probably gonna remove the grip behind the bipod and change up the iron sights. Maybe even scrap it entirely and pick a different MA5 model.

Hahaha, that looks great, maybe add a side-loading underbarrel grenade launcher like the real life M320? Then stick the bipod and foregrip on that hehe

Again great work, my only concern is detail......

What about detail?

What is your poly count?

If it is anything over 4500 then I would consider it useless and best used in another game engine.

Regardless of how awesome it looks.

Tacticool? Like my pants?

Yeah but those are mostly for SP.

For Mp weapons, especially halo don't go over 4500.

Take a look at the call of duty weapons, the side of the object,that you don't see ever, is pretty much deleted! And there game engine as way more modern yet they still have to resort to extreme optimizing techniques.

There can be a few comparisons made between Sp and Mp.

But in Mp you always should consider the general audience which are going to use your stuff.

With Sp, the trend is, well if you don't have an awesome pc. It's not my fault.

I live under the pretense that everyone else is still running windows 98.

Good logic, might rip it.

Gamespy are shutting down their servers. This will happen on may 31 2014.

Trust me when I say everyone is quite well aware.

No way.

I'm having trouble getting the UNSC symbol and 'MA5B' to stop glowing in the dark. They have an alpha which separates the black background from the white. I've moved to OS and its using a .shader_transparent_generic, but it was a .shader_model, but it still glows. idk if Os changed the way the shaders work, or I just forgot how to do normal non glowing alpha shaders...
