Regardless if your trying to make a reach animation copy or not, you'll HAVE to go with Halo CE's origin rules.

NO, NO NO NO NO. Leave it as it was in the older render because there it looks perfectly fine (aside from the thumb...what the hell rig are you using?).

Lol the origins just went from reach to halo 3 XD

wait what?
btw guys. HERE. I FINISHED AND CHANGED IT. BETTER NAO?


its not perfect but im satisfied

You never asked :D
I've got plans for it, but my plans have a way of not working, so when it's finished (aka. once I've got the animations, textures, sounds and tagging done) I'll either release it with a map or on its own. If I wasn't going to release it, I wouldn't have publicly displayed it in the WIP thread :3
Thanks though!

@Spartan 279: That looks better, but the thumb still looks a little funky! Am interested to see it completed.

I messed up my quoting when I deleted stuff.

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

It's what I said.

Recommend you fix that background too...it's too colorful and distracting.

AR is looking great! Gosh, the AR started way after my needle rifle and I haven't even finished modelling it! :( School Exams suck so much...
(and my laziness)

will fix. is the origin good now though?

I made my first custom BSP yesterday, wanna see?
Go here to look at teh vid: http://www.xfire.com/video/46e5bb/
(Plus it has the weapon I was fixing thats now finished)

The map will soon have: Underground tunnels/Caverns/Caves, more islands, Forerunner Base structures, it will be increased in size and it'll have more epicness.
(That is, if I can get past the stupid Open Edges errors, which idk how D:)

yeah really. screw having artistic skills or any of the stuff required to get hired onto any major company or anything. being cool is much more important

C'mon guys, we have to let the new people copy first! They will get the skills they need to create their own content soon enough! They will take the time to look at Bungie's art styles, learn how the models work in 3DS, and learn how to emulate the styles and eventually move on to creating their own styles. PSSH.

I dunno.. generally it's a good idea to have the basics of art down before you go studying and mimicking the appeal of certain styles.. I'm sure you've seen some of the "art" around here

though for some odd reason I doubt a good portion of these people even want to create anything original that isn't heavily derivative of the halo universe

The way I see it, in creating a mod for Halo, it's perfectly fine to create designs that are heavily derivative of the halo universe. I think ultimately, everyone gets tired of seeing the countless halo reach copies (and the halo 3 copies before them, and halo 2 before even that), but you can't tell other people what to make (or what not to make).

Well you've got to expect that when you hang around a halo forum. I've got plenty of original ideas, I just don't put them ingame because it doesn't fit with the rest of the halo univewrse.

^That pretty much. I'm too lazy to learn how to use a new engine..... I will one day though =\

good thing all I did was express dissapoint and expectation toward the lack of artistic originality then

HIHAG, seriously. If everything was completely original, nobody would ever get anything done. Give people time to build on what is being made.

And how many custom thing's do?

Lots, if you make them properly.

"fit in the halo universe"?

I'm not quite sure what you mean?
If you are asking how many custom things I've made fit into the halo universe, then the answer is every map and tag I've ever made. Like I said, I don't put it ingame if it doesn't fit.

I was thinking in term's of canon... I have no idea why... nevermind all that...

oh my. someones never worked in the gaming industry

I'm talking about the forum, not the game industry. Being honest, while the custom stuff here is creative, nearly all of it is based on already available stuff. Projectiles, sounds and animations are nearly never custom and textures are generally terrible, if there are any. Basically all the stuff uses original effects, with the exception of a minority.

How about you go play Yahtzee?

Of course he has not,(and i am sure you have not either) this is not the place for that.
This is a starting point for most people.
