Without the damage upgrades... or downgrades in halo 3, so if someone wanted to make a map with classic weapons they could use the new HiDef ones instead.
Just a suggestion. like what Valve did with HL1, they released a high def pack with Blue Shift so your game could look nicer. no gameplay changes at all.

@Creator of Halo:Reach pistol:
Your renders don't show the model at all, can't make out the shape of it... Just do a basic clay render and get rid of your lights or stupid settings, and also post a tri cound and wireframe. Just a normal render like that doesn't help at all...

Overall from what I can see it is very boxy and does not look nice at all tbh. I would give more crit if I could see the model. The Halo:Reach pistol is disgusting and if I was you I wouldn't bother with it. Its a nastly looking weapon.

there was a project like that.

They moved the mod onto Crysis.

Tucker412, do you share your 3D model?
Because I've a texture to apply.

It's great for a start, but make sure your topology and poly count isn't TOO high, or else CE won't like it too much.

Well after looking at all the new guys' works and some vets, i've decided to start modeling something i've had sitting in pieces in the work shop for a while. I only have a crappy old drawing but here it is...



Its a high powered long ranged automatic/semi-automatic rifle (over) with a 12 guage shotgun(under). This thing was meant to be mounted to a mobile device but i thought it might be cool to see ingame.

Your designs are way to boxy looking, and sharp angles. My advice would be to get images from google of side by side guns, gray scale them and make the contrast real high so it's completely black, then you can erase and add parts to the gun. That's what I did with my gun concept : http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9467/sniperconcept.jpg

I never had that problem with halos overlays. Why don't you try rendering them (in images) and posting them so we can tell you what your doing wrong.

He's moving the gun waaaay too far away from the origin, and he didn't key frame everything down so they moved with the animations instead of staying tight to the overlay they had.

Actually, you might only have to do it to the Wrists' IK and the upperarms.

^
That's what I do, only have the overlays affect the right wrist's IK controller.

Alright. Brace for crazy image spam.

Keep in mind, I had taken the suggestion from Veex on page 127 to make the looking overlays much more pronounced.

v Origins v


v Move Forward v


v Move Backward v


v Move Left v


v Move Right v


v Look Left v


v Look Right v


v Look Up v


v Look Down v


As I've said before, I absolutely hate the way Halo handles the looking overlays. They're much too slow and sluggish for my tastes and, they were designed for controllers, not mouse and keyboard. Spinning the crosshair causes it to become confused as to which overlay to display, and in my opinion looks ugly.

The only real problem I'm looking to fix is the moving overlays, they cause severe clipping between the hand and the different parts of the weapon.

The one that looks right seems abit unnatural.
Wrist is bent too far off imo.

Well who the hell spins their mouse around like a crazy person and says "Oh look at those horrible overlays they suck omg Halo and Bungie suck they should go die for making overlays so bad," other than you?

If you don't like it, go animate for a different game. Halo is a slower paced game and will rightfully have 'slower' overlays.

Um , he was stating his opinion.
You're the one overreacting because he said the overlays were ugly.

Well I'm not trying to be mean about it but he just seems to keep stating his hate for Halo's overlays non-stop and it's getting a little annoying. I suppose it's nice he's trying some more pronounced overlays and testing the whole thing but it just won't work well in Halo and I'm sorry it does not fit his specific needs.

Um to hell it does...

m00kz, use CAD's overlays scripts. see what the overlays are like when you use the script, then learn from that and try to make your own.

I brought it up because I want to make it clear I don't care about the looking overlays as much as I do the moving.

Edited by Dennis on Apr 15, 2010 at 10:50 PM

K, heres your problem: youve got about 45 degrees too much rotation on the last few overlay frames there. tone it waaaaaaaaay down. For a game this old, theres nothing wrong with the way halo interprets overlays. You're just doing it wrong.

It may not be improper, but I still have not seen looking overlays that I particularly like. It's just a personal taste. Again, the reason the looking overlays were so pronounced was because of a suggestion I received on page 127.

Still, the looking overlays are not the my biggest priority. I want to know how to fix the moving overlays causing the hand to interact with the magazine improperly.

If you mean that when you walk while reloading, the left hand floats away/clips the mesh, try this:

Constrain the upperarm bones to the frame gun in the same manner you constrain the wrist controllers. Do this for the "moving" and "overlays" .JMO files. not for any of the others.

I'm no modeller but I really like that. Nice work and I hope it's not too high-poly.

By the way, in response to those comments about the m6g with tactical knife - that thing is very old. I will reanimate it from scratch when I get around it. Plus the knife is always in the left hand and doesn't in any way disappear during the reload. And, I'm not trying to deny that saying a knife wouldn't kill a super-armored soldier is true, but why would you try and find some logic into a videogame, and on the hand of gameplay why would you use that weapon, if ever used in a map, apart from another weapon (for example, a pistol, and for example a normal m6g, thus with the same damage and rate of fire) if the melee damage is just the same as that another weapon? Or well just ignore everything that I said and think that weapon as made for fun and for practice, which is a better point. Not trying to bring in an argument, just replying :) and sorry for any english error if any, it's not my primary language. Then again, I will re-animate and if wanted release it.

Why not to replace the knife by an energy sword? =)

Same with a pelican and a helicopter. :) But this is a weapons thread... oshi-

Is that a scope on the top of the launcher? If so wouldn't it need to be more to the side? Also, is it possible to make a laser pointer on it? That would be nice! :)

I don't know what that's, I just copied this image:

Your model needs to have a longer barrel , the handguard needs to be extended a little more. I think the sight is the thing further down , and that cylinder on top might be some sort of laser sight.
