It fires regular rounds and explosive rounds.

Not exactly. I'd normally use urban camo for the sleeves, but I was messing around with it to see how arctic, desert, and woodland looked.

The animations are good but I think that the SMG reload, and firing animations should have more gun movement, like more recoil. Overall though, much better than what I can pull off.

It fires all different types of shotgun rounds just not those 2 hurf durf.

Future weapons.

I can't do SMG firing animations >>
But thanks for the feedback; I'll try to add more recoil.

Oh yeah, I was modeling a weapon for practice, when I remembered a question...errr two.

1) Should I model weapons in Editable Poly or Editable Mesh?

2) Should I model BSPs (for levels) in Editable Poly or Editable Mesh?

Thanks in advance.

it doesnt matter which one you use. Until you have to export, I only model BSP's (since i suck a$$ at closed models :c) But i use 'Editable Mesh' :)

It doesn't matter. Model them however you want. Just be sure to convert to Patch then again to Mesh before exporting. I'd suggest saving beforehand. The reason is to have all the edges visible when exporting, otherwise stuff gets all fubar.

Alright, thanks for clearing all that up.

RC-P120 was in the n64 version bro

After some time I got back on animating something.

http://www.xfire.com/video/26ff5a/

Keep in mind that, as the description says, the quality is pretty bad and (at least on my pc) the frame rate isn't decent. I really should try re-uploading that but I'm off to bed now. Criticism would be appreciated.

I think it may be because of the frame rate, but everything seems slow and stiff.

No, I think you are right. Some of the return to origins are jerky I think.

I really had to ingame them to get a decent recording. Ah what not having a youtube account and so much laziness can do.

http://www.xfire.com/video/2707b5/

I'm aware of the last part of the reload (from when inserting the new clip) sucking; I will re-do it.
Returns to origins look fine to me; at least they do ingame.

It looks decent all around. The walking and firing are the best. The melee needs more force put into the butting. The reload looks fine to me.

..... http://www.xfire.com/video/1f57c0/ what happend to this!

umm... sheer laziness happened to it. I'm sure im not the only one who wonders why the knife crosses the under side of the gun instead of being on the left side by itself. Also... where exactly does the knife go when you reload; it seemed to disappear and reappear to me.

Scrap knives like that, knifing a shielded and armored super soldier will probably not kill him, unlike the soldiers from modern warfare 2.

if the bruteshot bayonet won't, a tac knife definitely won't

Actually... after careful consideration and thought, the tac. knife would work but only if it acted like the knives shown in Halo Reach previews. (ie - combo kills taking the knife and forcing it under the armor in the back near the kidknees, then at the open throat on the front of the target.) But i don't think the engine will fully support this kind of heavily scripted attack in multiplayer due to all the extra variables like: positioning of the other player, the slight chance of them turning around, the chance that an explosive is detonated near where this action is takling place, etc.

Reach magnum so far, animated and tagged, no custom model, no sounds synced with the animation

and yes I know the return from melee is a bit borked
Edited by Marka Haiyana on Apr 8, 2010 at 04:36 AM

Yes, I don't like the melee animation but it's not bad =D

The arm is really high on the melee. Unnaturally high imo.

OK, Halo's overlay system is great if you know how to use it.

You, unfortunately don't and so instead of trying to fix it you just keep whining about it. Don't give me the "I'm a self-taught animator, leave me alone" bull, because you have plenty of tutorials and people (like me) around to ask and easily become a much better animator than taking the stupid way and self-teaching yourself through experience. It won't get you anywhere fast.

The simple, easy solution to your 'deathly' problem is to simply go to Edit>Select All (Ctrl+A). Now press the key button (key frame) for every single frame you have, all the way up to 9 aka the very last one.

Do your gun movements now, export your animation out as a .jmo, and compile it into your animations.

That's it, now please just ask me or someone else next time instead of making a huge stupid deal out of it because it makes you look like a complete moron.

Thank you for your time, please don't take me to be angry, I'm just being forceful and trying to get the point into your head. I still love you Muki.

The reach magnum looks pretty good just remember to add the bloom effect so that its not as accurate as the h1 pistol.

Nice tac-knife anims.
I was gonna make some origins, but I got lazy, but it was gonna be MGS style.

Also,

Kind of hard when you use words like stupid and moron and use uber bold on your text, and make assumptions that I'm going to make excuses. I'd say work on that, that kind of stuff makes you seem hostile.

As far as the overlays, I know how they work, the individual frames signify how it will look when you're moving/looking. The moving aren't all too bad, I'm sure there's a work around to make the parts of the weapon and hands not clip. Moving everything instead of just the wrists would likely work. The looking however, I absolutely loathe. The way they don't follow the mouse movements properly just bothers me, and compared to other games looks horrible.
Edited by Marka Haiyana on Apr 8, 2010 at 09:53 PM

It's realistic, it doesn't just switch instantly to where you looking and if you make your overlays right it looks really nice and gives the animations a great feel.

Tucker, boxy model.
Also, can you send me that Knife model :P

I respect your opinion, but I do not share it. I dislike how they look, they're too slow for my tastes. Then again, I'm into those ridiculously fast-paced arena shooters moreso than I am realism.



For sure. I'll send it to you asap, kinda busy at the moment with the job and all, so it may be tweaked between now and when I send them.

My AR reskin. Higher res. 512x512 (default skin), itsnow 1024x1024.
Its not done. The only ACTUAL complete parts of the AR is the top bit with all the scratches. The other green colored areas are just there so i know what im gunna do later on. And also. the Power switch light is Done. the Top Shell of the AR is done. But im thinking of reducing the scratches cos i was a bit bored when i did it. =/


EDIT: feeling generous. so imma gun show some weapon concepts i drew. feel free to do anythin with them.
The image with the writing on it that sounds like some math crap. well it was done in math. While using a visual arts book. I was bored. and i didnt want to do work so i drew.


This one is like a Lightmachinegun version of the AR. I was using pen so i kinda stuffed up. The one on the bottom is the completed one =/


You may have seen this b4, but i might as well do it again, for a dead project from what im aware from.

why doesn't someone just release a high def version of all the classic weapons? that'd be awesome.

cos people like CUSTOM content. Not High poly content which is already there but in a simpler form.
And plus, it would be a waste of time to some.

Im pretty sure the Hi-def version of the classic weapons were in Halo 3 , with damage and range tweaks.
