No

so i decidedly started porting some reach marines and grunts to practice my rigging skills. i just have one question, when the object has multiple parts do i just rig them to the specified bones or can i link them together. also would i link link the model to bip01 pelvis or do i make a frame node and export it that way?

grunts are ingame rigged and with collision. now onto shaders

how did i manage to miss the fact that shadowslayer beat me to it XD. ah well ill just finish them anyways ill post reach marines later, i got started but never finished hopefully tonight ill be done with getting them ingame and on to shaders. i wont have time today for all the perms but at least i can get the basic marines ingame

i just rigged the base mesh of the grunt, i then linked the backpack and the facemask to the nearest nodes. in this case the backpack to spine 1 and the facemask to head. it works just fine and doesn't mess up the rig. though that gives me an idea would it be possible to script the backpack shooting off since its separate from the rest of the model. then have the grunt fly all over like in reach? though it would probably look terrible because there are no ragdolls in ce. just an idea

that's what i am doing for the marines, it saves a tooonnnnn of time. i only custom rigged the grunts as a practice in rigging in 3ds max.Btw weight painting in max suuucks. its way better in blender.
on the other hand i will try to get the damage perms working but i don't think it is exactly necessary , thanks for the tips though.

it looks like schoolwork is getting in the way of finishing the marines tonight, i will try to finish them but i don't think i will have the time.

I think he meant the different armor perms for the different ranks.

i just happen to have the perms. though not having played the reach campaign i'm not sure which colors go to what grunt. i think that the green grunts are still gunners or did that change. orange is minor and red is major? i cant remember XD. now i have one question a bout the color change maps. what do i do to get them to work for ce. and i have one last thing i'm trying to do. i would like to have the fan spinning in the grunts backpack i need to know if i set this up right:


and as proof that i have the perms set up

ok thanks again waffles, and i have one more question. is it possible to have a specified permutation attached to the actor variant, for example the standard grunt pack for a minor variant.

ok thanks. now i just need to get the moving bitmap for the fan. i am trying to get it to spin constantly i would like to know if i set up my tags properly in the photo's above.

Well, you would want to set the A in function in the biped tag to alive. Assuming you have everything else in the shader set up correctly.

Let's fight biatchhhhhh

Those Grunts are neat.

Wow really cool grunts are the halo 3 brutes up next?

not ATM since i still cant extract all the pieces. but oddly i can for the reach brutes so they will come next i hope.

all the brute were ugly but reach ones were uglier.

OK so instead of borrowing the original grunt collision i decided to not be lazy and do a custom collision model as well. any tips on a good way to set them up. i have a feeling hey need to be skinned and the textures need to be set up correctly.

You would just make a very low-poly model. Each piece linked to each node. No rigging. Pretty much just boxes edited to fit the outline of the model. They don't have to be skinned. But the arms/legs/head/torso should have their individual materials.

Ahahaha, took me a while to see it.

Best biped evarr

lmao

[/cancer-inducing text]

Hit quote on it, it's full of html entities that don't display.

Which isn't very hard to do either.

You run them through tool. Its not hard.

Yeah...

Pray tell, why post something as irrelevant as a spartan with a dinosaur head, unless you're going to do a very creepy jurassic park mission. And I mean very creepy.

Or do you just enjoy posting random nonsense with no value whatsoever and then lash back violently at people who have a different opinion than you?

Anway... Reach grunt is good. Looks very Reachy.

And for the third time:

Tada!

H3 Grunt is here to give everyone Grunt cancer.

Do you actually feel the need to get banned?

I can't really tell from that picture.
Side-view would be better.
Way to be helpful,you rude prick.
