The texturing is nice. Just add some grime and blur those outlines a bit, whilst also adding some damage to the yellow lines.

Oh I plan to. I want to see also if I can get a higher res image of the grenade for better reference for some smaller detail.

your grenade looks good, ill trade you the One Ring for it :)

More like one halo or the one leg bracelet.

that ring has to inflict damage on the wearer evvery time its.... fired?

its to scale, thats as far in as i can zoom without clipping. and when you put it on you turn invisible

Helmsman! Grime factor 9.
Engage!



Hmm. Maybe too much grime though. I did have a dirt layer on all of them before, I just had them very light so they blended in. So this is the same layer I already had only darkened.

Also, can I get a protip from anyone. What should I do for the alpha? I know I want to make the scratches higher in the alpha so they glisten like uncovered shiny metal, but should I still keep some on the rest of the bulk of the grenade or go for more of a dull non reflective area there?

tone down the scratches and grime. the only thing that's gotten it used is some grease from manufacturing and whatever wear and tear happened in transport to you. Shouldn't look as used as that. just a hint of grime in small tight places, maybe a patch of dirt, and some scratches mainly just on high contact areas, but not uniform looking/outline looking. should look halfway dull, i suppose

That's what I was sort of figuring. It's not like grenades can be reused so unless a person purposely drops them in the mud or drops out of somewhere into a mud hole, they should not look but ALMOST new. Also, yeah I see what you mean about uniform looking. I will go in and look for those points of high contact and remove much of what seems to be unnecessary.

also, i just added the separation along the equator of the grenade so if anyone was wondering if that was going into the texture...


EDIT


anyway

I just took a look at the bitmaps from the regular view and... I think there is really not much else I can do with them.

Here's the grenade from a realistic POV, instead of close up, in comparison to the pistol. I think this is as far as I personally am going to go.

keep in mind gears of war sold nearly 6 million copies

Sales figures aren't in direct relationship with realism.
So your "Keep in mind" has nothing to do with the topic at hand, therefore i propose we get back.

And Halo is supposed to be realistic...?

Who knows. Sort so. Except inter-dimensional travel that makes you go really fast. And the Covenant/ And the forerunners. But who knows...

Lol! Some massive Forerunner places you go to and it's like, "so your only purpose for building this was to hold this ONE control panel?!?!?!". There's the realism of halo for you.

halo is supposed to be Futuristic not Realistic... Realism doesn't really mean anything when talking about a game set in 2552 because we have no idea what "real" in that time will be. Realistic is like when you say "COD Modern Warfare 2 is 100x better than WoW because it's realistic and WoW is complete garbage that infects young minds that could have otherwise potentially become world leaders and such."

:D

CODMW2 isn't.

make it active camo :p

But this is true.

how is it not realistic?

uh at what point was realism even mentioned at all between icee and the other guy? do you even have the slightest idea of what you're talking about?

your "realism" argument has nothing to do with the topic at hand. the point I'm making is just because something is unrealistic doesn't make it bad. otherwise all we'd see making sales are overly realistic games that simulate real life to the point of being bland and dull. but no, world of warcraft, zelda, halo and call of duty are making insane sales

if you want realism so bad go play red orchestra or america's army or whatever the hell and have fun raging when you die from getting shot once by a dude the size of a pixel across the desert

Chill out everybody, this is a halo forum. Are we seriously going to fight over other games?

NO. you are not going to in this thread. If anyone else decides to go off topic I will not just delete their posts but their access as well. Messages have been deleted.

Return to the topic and stay on it: Weapons - Works in Process thread [WIP]

can someone make this for me? every time I boot up my sapien, my geurilla spits out the error: "Your 3D Studio Max and Gmax files are corrupted. Please re-import the FP animations." unfortunately when I do this, my uvws come undone and I'm forced to reach for the halos. The call of duty behind this is rediculous and I can't seem to grasp my head around why the battle rifle pumps these pistol errors out. I've tried opening it with my m16, but no no avail.

I think it might be an error with the tagging and custom content.

help?

Are you serious ? I hope not ^^

i believe this is a back and forth sarcasm discussion, but i can't tell...

was just a bit of harmless fun :)

Derpsarcasmderp
Was thinking of including the hippogun as an easter egg. Anyone remember?

I think you broke it. Try flipping the top around.


... Needs some work... But I can definitely see it going some where.


.....
Rephrase it please. Then I will see if I can help you at all. Provided something is wrong in the first place... Whatever.
