two words:

bump map.

Bump maps can only be used on BSPs.

orrrrrr if you feel limited by halo 1's engine, you can always just do what i did and learn to do s**t like this in 3ds max!!

lol clouds.

and I never knew that only bsp's took bump maps...

Isn't the whole point of putting in in the Halo engine so you can walk around in it? Moving the camera around isn't that fun.

yea i do find it cool when i get it put together in a full animation

but i guess i should have said switch to crysis...

Bipeds also take bump maps. And so do weapons and vehicles.

No they dont. Only shader_environments work on on BSPs. They won't work on dynamic objects.

That large chunk in the middle of the spirit is slightly redundant.

hey guys sup, i havent modeled for a looong time been busy etc. some random tank i made:

Not to bad. I think it is mis-proportioned though. Or it is the design.

i know, i made it liek that on purpose....making a few more versions

Ha ha make one toy size. that would be funny

Meh, might as well:

JOTUN Series 1: Harvester


(unfinished)

Must haz. Get this in-game nao! :D

*Really loud obnoxious long SCREAM*

What did you just do?

Jotuns actually look like The Elephants from ODST but with special extensions and are much bigger in most cases.
*Looks through reach legendary stuff*

From what I've read, the Elephant (Dubbed the "Oliphant") in Halo 3: ODST was created by JOTUN. Although it was manufactured by the same company, I believe that the vehicle itself is unrelated to the JOTUN Harvesters. Of course, I could very well be mistaken.

Reminds me of mad max 3. I like it.

Actually, that makes more sense.
It should be modeled after a Olifant then, or at least have some of its design like the crane thing.

Except an Olifant was used in trash disposal. And was driven manually.

This is true.

Not really, you can find descriptions of the JOTUNs (vague, but enough to distinguish it) in Contact Harvest. I have just finished reading that book and scored a 100 on my AR test aswell =p

But anywho, the JOTUN farm machinery all look different, for the most part, the Series is what comes into play, they had up to a Series 6 when Harvest was first hit. The first JOTUNs probably looked similar to regular farm machinery, which is why I decided to base it off a traditional harvester.

And what can a HUGE and WIDE (low to the ground) elephant (oilant too) be, that looks ANYTHING like a farming vehicle o_0. Those are heavy duty military and civil transports, not farming equipment!

Some stuff from the book stated they have "Large wheels, that stand taller than the standard troop.", "...large front end and rear end plows...", and maybe a few others as well. Also, I read that Bryan was hiding on one, and later hid under it, and behind it too, during a training session where the Johnson and Bryan went up against all there recruits.

EDIT: The Chopper was made by Lighter Than Some, as a peace offering to the humans, it was made from the prototype of a new plow made by JOTUN, being transported from Harvest, to Mars.

lol yeah ive read taht 6 times(OGM IMA NERD)

Johnson really gets some at the end, eh? hubba hubba, lol

You're on a Halo Maps forum. If you don't consider yourself a nerd before that idk....

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy :O

Everyone has a little bit of nerd in them.
Just make sure to balance it out with life, girls, sports, and music.

EDIT: I guess we better stay on topic.

On the note of that JOTUN Harvester, If u read Halo:Contact Harvest u would know that the chopper was made by an enginer (covie) out of a JOTUN Harvester. Cool isn't it?

I just said that! LighterThanSome is the Engineer that made it out of the prototype, and to sooth the Brutes from getting angry, Dadab told the Chieftan that it was made for them as a surprise. (lying)

lol "weapons? uhh yes lighterthansome will be on that right away"
lol

you can read!!!

WE CAN HAZ GIRLZ!?!?!?

lolwut. I HAZ GURL lol
