I don't get angry and I do work here. Use your brain.

show me your work.

mk, he'll show you his standoff/valhalla BSPs WIPs, which are the first two things i think of in like half a second. those aren't 5 minute models either :)

this topic should probably be renamed to "Characters - WIP" cuz those ^^ aren't actually bipeds :P



My apologies, i shouldn't have said angry because your post was actually very calm. A more appropriate reply would have been to point out that no one actually cares about "your time". The only one wasting your time is you, as you're the one spending your time on things that you consider to be a waste of time.
Just for the record i am perfectly capable of using my brain, but it would be a waste of my time to devote my brain power to someone like you, so i choose not to. (that was an example of time management. try it out some time)

Just admit talking about Pokemon on the WIP thread is a waste of time.

ill say it again, when i posted the pokemon, it was a joke, i didnt expect two pages covered with it.

wortwort
Ok, let me explain. This is a single biped, with spartan AND elite perms. Same model/different bones system. Having some problems with animation compilation.

Wow, you quoted the entire previous post just to say lol?
Anyways, looks cool man.

I somehow don't remember elites being a head taller than Spartan IIs.

They are, as it turns out. I think they're too tall-- perhaps I can edit the default stance so that they are normally more hunched.

Have you done a lot of progress to the extent that you can't change the scale without redoing lots of stuff?

Also, not just tall, simply too big. Look at the chests. Also hunch the neck a bit. And give the neck no hitbox to retain the Halo 3 feel lol.

Bump. I'd like to see more progress on that spartan/elite biped you are working on (Awesome perms, cool for multiplayer).

Sure thing...

They're both getting into a ghost. An animation like this needs a lot of edits.
First, the elite gets in 4 or so frames faster than the spartan. Like many of the other anims, I only have to scale the times long or short enough to match each other.
Second, the elite normally uses different hand and foot nodes once inside the ghost. So, to allow the same biped to be used, I just nudge the elite's hands to where the spartan's are by the end of the animation. Same for feet and pelvis.
Lastly, they get in and out from opposite sides. It really doesn't matter on the way in, since yoou could get in from either side before anyway, but you normally get out on the right-hand side. So the elite has to be flipped on the exit animation.
WIP FTW

Dude, i wanna playtest this so bad. Keep it up!

I'm surprised nobody has made a minecraft biped yet...
Just a suggestion.

perhaps i can lend you my h3 elites.

Ftfy

Sure. Switching models is the easy part-- its the animations that take forever.
Not tonight, I accidentally left my other PC (and xfire) on.

Make their wings transparent, make em green and they will be perfect. Do they have dialogue?

nah, just the wing flapping sounds, and im pretty much done with them, i can go ahead and release em soon

Who's Maune C?
And they're right, you might as well make them chartreuse.

hes a friend i was examining at the time. ill pack and release them as they are, you guys can change them however you like, there is a drone with a color change, and one thats the regular, so you have alot of flexibility. ive also made minor and major actor varients, the major is red with a brute pr, he will kill you.

...Can these guys carry Covenant Carbines? Because I'm totally gonna make a black carbineer Drone assassin.... thing, if they can. :D

probably

Just change the weapon lable

i just uploaded them to the halomaps ftp, keep an eye out for them in the next few days

The spleet (spartan-leet) is still in progress. The funniest thing happened while doing the Banshee enter animation.

Lmao. Lovin' the biped...
Can I ask you something on Xfire regarding that?

Doubt it, don't make them carry carbines.

Lool, a drone with a carbine...
The carbine would be almost as long as the drone.

Leave carbines to the jackals. Drones with carbines would be retarded and insanely difficult, when you have a swarm of them.

I know it would look a bit... cumbersome, to say the least, but it would be an interesting gameplay element. Rather than operating in swarms, they would function in groups of two or three, zipping from perch to perch to fire on the player.

I know! Let's have drones operating turrets. That would be an "interesting" gameplay element too! XD

No wait....
