I know this isn't really the place to be making requests, but would anyone care to make an attempt at recreating the UNSC Flamethrower troops from Halo Wars?

Heh, that was actually mine as well, I uploaded it a while ago when Dennis allowed us to upload some new avatars :P

I second this request

So that's two.... *stares blankly, expecting the biped to appear at any second*

Motion blur + different palette for each image. I used bink rad tools and BMG animator

What's wrong with simply putting a cylinder on the back of an EVA spartan?

Marine =/= Spartan

The Flamethrowers have a different style of helmet. Not quite EVA, but it is similar in some respects. And the armor is different, such as the thick gloves and neck brace.

I could probably model a statue of one easily, too bad I have no idea how to make one with decent animations (ie, I have the most basic knowledge of bones and animation, but I don't know how to rig so I can't get one with proper marine animations)

Aww.... well, could you try the "statue", and then see if anyone would be willing to help from there?

Started a new cyborg head.
Not sure what to add.

Something on the side.

anyone have high res references for the default halo reach armor?

ive been working on these drones today, got the anims from lumoria




what do you guys think?

Those look awesome. I would bring out the metal shader (if possible) out a little more, but otherwise those look good.

I was wondering when someone would start making Halo 3 Drones. They look great. I hope you plan on releasing them soon. We could use some more buggers in CE.

looks like i became dinner tonight :O

Maybe you could make them swoop down and claw at you?

Meh I'm back, no ce stuff for 4 months now. Here's something

click image for larger res.

I acutely did this since Brandon in Lumoria (*cough* my real name *cough*) looked like a standarded ODST with a red stripe and such so I give him some personality, only problem is he stands out lol.

looks great man.

Oh yeah couple more up close pictures, and that's all I'm posting

I don't like the mixtures of organic and inorganic shapes - The visor is a big ball, but the stuff around it is sharp and pointy, but then the rest of the head is a big ball again. Doesn't look right - Perhaps a flat, angular visor instead of a large, spherical one?

Dude.
That biped made me jizz in my pants.
Fix the visor and it's gold.
Also, may I talk to you on Xfire?...

the red is too saturated.

This is probably the only thing I could see needing possible improvement for the shaders. How did you get it to look so great since 4 months?

derp, I know it's to red

Magic :smugdog:

The pearls around his left leg, they don't look very nice. But other than that and the red, it's nice.

They arent pearls. They are Grenade bullets (from a grenade launcher) or Shotgun rounds. :L

Crouch down with one leg forward and that is the perfect place to have em too.

Shotgun rounds.

They looked like pearls.
Whatever it is, it's not very nice at the moment.

i rigged them already for the anims too but
as you can see they look crap with this anims
and i also do not like the shaders
i going to make new animations for them if i have enough time..

Blame bungie, I'm not gonna make some separate shader since you won't notice really when it's an AI unless you stare at him.

Should have used the SPI armor.

ROFL shortie spartan. So their armor grows as they do? COOL.
