:D i don't really think they need be longer, but i'll take another look at some pics and see how accurate the wings are.

Needs to look like that. ^

lol, wut does? The texture? if so, good luck.

I meant the vessel itself. The majority of the variant found in Halo: Reach is comprised of the rear thruster section, while your model seems to focus mainly on the fuselage.

Arguably, but what would be the fun in me just making virtually the same stuff people will be ripping here in a few months (maybe)? I remake the halo reach stuff, and give it my personal touches (IE make it fit my preferences). oh, and i'll just leave this here.

If you dont know what that is, That is a Shortsword.

you really prefer yours to that picture?

Yes, I really prefer the one that I made myself over Bungies. Is there a problem with that?

always wanted a shortsword in CE, INGAME NAO!!

is there a problem with me thinking it looks a bit weird in some places? such as around the cockpit

Is the Sabre actually going to be put in-game and have its tags released?
EDIT: And that shortsword just somehow does not look right.

It resembles the Stargate glider. I like!

OMG it does! like, a lot.

Yes, the sabre is going to be ingamed and released, along with that thar shortsword, and my falcon... And i believe the reason that the shortsword doesn't look right, is because its not a remake of the one from halowars (hence why its black) I made it off of concept art.
Thats the ref i used for it.

but thats concept art and it doesnt look like that

what doesn't look like wut?

the texture you applied to your shortsword reaaally takes away from the model so in the future when your showing a model you should either apply a bitmap that fits, or learn how to make some good materials in 3ds max. I don't think your model really looks like the picture you posted of the halo wars concept art mostly because of the lack of detail in your model.. I personally like to see allot more of the little features rather than relying on the texture to show it off.

You shouldn't put any bitmap on a model when you are trying to show the model tbh. That bitmap looks like its just a random image applied to the model.

exaaactly, when i show models i use a light grey material on the model, put a white plane underneath it, create a skylight and render it with mental ray.
SPEAKING OF MODELS!!!

render - 2.7M pollies @ 48s per frame

lowest poly version has 520k pollies (i'll attempt to get that in game just for fun :P)

Sexy, my fav car :P I still want to do that car.

I know, I wasn't originally planning to use that render to show, it just happened that way. And @Mr. G, thats the way i typically render also so heh!

Are you still working on the Shortsword because I can't wait to see it finished!
EDIT: You could probably rip the textures from halo wars because it is so low resolution.
EDIT 2: That car will just lag the whole game if you put it in-game.

... I like that

I have to agree on that. Trying to do that will make it look like crap, no offense

I would rip the textures for halo wars, but I personally think that the colour of green that they are is incredibly ugly.

That's why you edit the bitmap to be a different color/brightness etc.

Is that the one that almost crashed my machine via teamviewer?

lmao yeaaa thats the one :P i've been working on the lights for the past few hours but im a perfectionist and i cant get them perfect so im just getting reaally frustrated :/

How is the car going?

They trashed all of them? :S How much do they cost, half a mill.

Yeah probably.

if you get the carbon fiber sides, the 5.2 litre V10 engine, and the manual transmission, for awesome people, its about 190k in canadian.. so for a supercar its actually fairly cheap :P

oh and this is for you skidrow ;)

hey i was looking around on the interwebz the other day for a model for my animation, and i found something odd that i would love to have cleared up. Did you download this file delete some yellow pods along the side of the ship, add a couple textures, change the name of the ship and claim it as your own? Or did you make this prior to 1997, release it to the public, and then just happen to have it sitting around for this long. I found this exact ship on a 3d website except it was named H.M.S.S Thunderchild, and the upload date was in 1997. I might be completely wrong and if so please clear this up
