Dunno :/

Guess.

I remember this forum 2 years ago when not that many people got flamed =\

Are you kidding? It's been like this forever.

all this talk of busses made me want to make one:



NOTES:
1: its not done
2:gonna detail as i go, as in interior etc, might get a bit high poly, as what happens when i get carried away
3: once im done anyone that wants it can have it. will post more as i progress
4: i know wheel wells need work ill do it later, might make the baggage compartments, done know yet

UPDATE:

So....
can haz?

Seats on a bus dont look quite like that.
Also, you pushed the wireframe geometry a bit too much, I can see in between. Push it to about "0.002" or "0.003"

I won't be negative in my whole post and nit pick at little things like Bo likes to.

That model looks decent, the only new model I have seen in a while. I don't really see anything wrong with it tbh. It would look fine in-game.

You've never been on a bus like a greyhound than o_0.

no, i dont believe so.

@Geared
The front window is too small. Doesn't make it so...coach-like.

Nice bus, you should make there be some way to get inside to walk around without being in a seat, you could just leave the door out on the collision model but that would be a bit weird... will it have all the passenger seats useable?

imagine the ENTIRE team sitting in the bus on a run to CTF...
rocket flies towards bus, and.....KILLTACULAR x 2!
nvm, just being random.

nice bus btw, but i would suggest you angled the seats a little back?

gravemind, it has a door, which probobly be closed when driver enters(or is the firing trigger to cloose the door)
well its a large vehicle so if ppl sit apart some might survive....lol
exploded veiw:

haha good point, but if you filled the back with ai's u could use a script to make them all get out when a press jump or zoom and they could attack the enemy, although the enemy would also have to be ai cuz it wont sync...


What i meant bout the door was, if you leave out the door when making the collision model, you could just walk thru it and up the back although opening and closing it with firing animations like you said is a better idea

nah its better with anims, its more cooler....lol
thou ur way is easier

yea its easier but it would look funny... I count 35 seats on the bus, but a vehicle tag only allows 16, i guess you could leave out a few pairs of seats and/or have one person per two seats

edit: a biped tag also allows seats, if you make a fake biped with markers that line up with the seats you could have an extra 15 seats. Its a bit of a crazy idea but it might work, although its probably not worth it

well im thinking of making so only 16 seats are used, like staggered "randomly".
i might actually make this one itno a working vehicle, never done it b4

U mean you've never fully made a vehicle or never made a bus?

yep, usualy jsut model stuff and let ppl use how they want, but i wanna try, sicne i am trying to learn new stuff, u know challenge myself :P(*note no never fully finished a vehicle lol.iv only modeled them.

well its always good to try something new, you gonna upload it to halomaps when you finish? Also, have you done physics models before?

You have some geometry in there that doesn't need to be attached to the actual mesh

like what? 'cause the storage area i also wanna make another version of this into some kind of storage bus, like remove most of the seats and make ti full of either weps or ammo or health etc, and bottom luggage area has more powerful things(obviously not drivable). no i haven't made physics models, which is another thing i wanna learn :P

Picture doesn't work, nvm.
Edited by DEEhunter on Jan 6, 2010 at 02:18 PM

I think he means the little lights and stuff on the front of the bus

What's it called. Need to name the work in progress folder something in my models folder :)

Eagle.

Cool. Cheers :)

Edit:
I actually bothered to start it and stop being lazy.

What trailer is that picture from?

Halo Reach reveal?

Ya.

Thought so.

No, it's the new Mario. They get ships and guns and shiz, it's pretty badass.

Mario, badass? It's like some new oxymoron. He's a plumber that jumps on re-animated mutated turds for a living :|
