yea array is pretty helpful.. just select an object, goto Tools > Array... set how far apart you want the new instances to be and angle increments and stuff.. and then i dunno how he did it, but with my tank i made a path around the wheels and gave all the instances a path constraint. saved me having to place them one after another :/
and im pretty sure its 16 million polies.. partly because this isnt a number "16,676,9160" the commas should be like this "166,769,160" but mostly because thats the most useless model ive ever seen if it has 166 million. L2optimize. i make alot of models that are well into the millions of polies so im not saying its a bad thing, but really you're not getting any more detail or smoothness when you add your 12th turbo-smooth iteration

Treads are rigged, made using a script called TrainMaker.
16 Million Triangles.
All objects have iteration's of 2 or less.
And Triangle count does NOT matter on a model like this.

Why is it that nobody realizes that high poly models like this ARE NOT MEANT TO GO INGAME.

Seriously, it's literally the very first result you get on Google.

Right now.


EDIT: Thanks. Perfect timing.

That's the one, take's a while to set it up properly as it isn't designed for this, but still works :P

Lol, the tank stole your thunder. Anyway, looks amazing, Cryengine 2 I guess.

Yes it did. Haha good model though.

And CryEngine 3

It the H3 model? Or custom? Becuase you just said it's a good model which sounds custom to me? lol - not fussed either way looks good.

It's obviously ripped.

Thought so, just thought id ask :)

Who are you and what have you done with the real Hunter?

He overloaded. Look at his works.

Btw what you do Hunter, is really impressive. I got something custom that you could try to model, its some arms. But i'd like better to make my owns, if you could take a video of you modeling, it would be helpful for the whole community.

When I have time to model a personal model I will record it. Only issue is I hate modelling none stop and like to switch between what i'm doing :L

Sooo just record while you are modeling. Either way would still be wonderful.

Didn't you get the Memo?

A2009/Hunter/Whatever you name yourself now you heathen - looks awesome. Is this progress on the one you posted on DA?

Slightly off what people are talking about here, but a question that I will potentially explore at a later date. I have seen people use the suspension animations (or what I assume is the suspension?) to create landing legs on things - would it be possible to use this on a legged walker to create a kind of hacky IK? Then with larger walkers, the end part of the legs can still hit the ground and avoid levitation on more uneven terrain.

Nah its ripped but thanks! I was modeling a custom phantom, i had most interior down but decided to restart it.. Regardless i have much trouble with organic objects (round like covie) so i cant model it, and i need a high poly modler for normals and an unwrapper, which i neither have at the moment.

This is a spider vehicle I converted from sketchup to 3ds max:

looks like crap I know..

is any one able to help me texture this?the sides both textured and untextured bits won't go on properly.pls note it is my first custom vehicle apart from the reach warthog and that's why it has crappy ripped textures
Thanks

If you can say "pls" because it's shorter then "please" I can say "no" because it's shorter then "yes."

I will however consider it.

i got it textured properly but when i compile the JMS it only compiles one shader model for some reason.but i opened the bitmaps wich are the shaders that arnt compiled and if you press show bitmaps it doesnt show them.it also says when you compile them it says

skipping bitmap with non-power-of-two-dimension

You need them to be in the power of two. Ie. http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=35977
Mooseguy's first post.

Wow, i had no idea that halo moding was still cruising along. Anyways guys, keep up the great work.

Hehe Matooba, been a while!

Been working on a couple base layers for this, which is better?

OMG SO SEXY!!!!one1!!1

Soooo. This thread got dead. Almost done with my falcon. any offers to tag it?. I'll also need someone to texture it. But right now i'm working with tagging and i'll get to what i need after the gearbox model is ingame. So all i need is for some reach lover to step up and make it happen

pix plox?

Great. Then all i'v got to do is model the guns and seats and it's done. Should't take long and i'll have pix up after done modeling :)

What's with the back ground and why is one pelican PURPLE WITH FLOWERS!!?!?!! Teh one on the left is bettah.

It was a funny joke.
I am making good progress with the unwrap though.

that peli better be in next years christmas map. looks like a wrapped present.
