lol it is, i got the pack before he released it to the halomaps community, i have had it for months.

I'd like to see that tagged, as it is entirely possible for that many seats.

Yes.

He said it to undermine you ODST_Nick, he thinks it is acceptable to treat people like this because he learned it here, at a time when there were a lot of undesirables on the forum.
Eventually he may "get" it.

It was simply feed-back. I gave my opinion on the model, and that was simply saying that it looked like little effort had been put into it. I wasn't intending undermining anybody, I could have just said the model was terrible. I gave my opinion on the model, whilst telling him how to improve it, enlighten me as to how that is undermining?

You know it was unnecessary as do i.
If you want to pm me to talk more about this i probably will not respond, but you could try.

ok i will humor you a bit i guess.
So you are saying that you meant your statement to refer to a lack of effort or time being put into the base model.
How would you have any idea how much time and effort was actually used? this could be a mans entire lifes work for all you know.

I knew that when he said it from the start,

And you are right, i've spent like 10 hours so far (spread out in days) on this plane. I'll listen to his crit, but I just wanted to square out his unecessary crap.

Good for you. His crit is worth listening to for sure.
It looks to me like there are a lot of polys being used or maybe you used a smoothing modifier?

@the edit, I realize that, but I was commenting on how much effort it looked like there had been put into it. You've got to get some harsh crit, to know when somethings good, and when it isn't. I'd know about this, just look at my earlier works =\... I got some harsh crit, and learned what a good model should look like. I came back after a few months of practice, and started making my Mass Driver, which went quite well. Man though, if only Geared were still here, he gave the best crit ever xD.

How did that take you 10 hours? I understand that you are new, but you are doing it SO wrong if it took you that long to get a basic form...

All you have so far are cylinders/sphere which are stretched out and cut up a bit to get the shape of plain, and looks like it has a stupid amount of triangles as the shading is smooth and not stretched which shows there are triangles on the straights. Although I could be wrong, hard to tell from one render.

But yeah, watch tutorials and start again, looks more like a 10 minute job rather than 30 tbqh. Harsh? I won't lie to you, you wont learn!




You have got the hang of lowpoly modelling, sub'd model something like the Needle Rifle and post it up :) Then once that is done you can make a lowpoly and try and bake the normals.

How easy something is always relative to the skills that you have to accomplish the task.
10 mins to you could mean 30 mins to another guy or 10 hrs to someone else.

yes i would like to have that vehicle ingame but there is one problem, every time i try to export a .jms max freezes so i need to fix that before i can continue

The idea of this scares me =\, it probably wont turn out good xD. I'll probably end up giving it a shot at some point, heh...

@Anomonyous:
I was watching a tutorial, and I am busy with school, so that 10 hours was spread out among a week.
I am also just working on a basic form, and then i'll go in depth with detail & modeling to shape the nose & hull. I got ALOT Of time tommorrow & friday, so hopefully I can make it look alot better by tomorrow or saturday :)

I also did add smoothing groups, so it dosnt look rough.

For god sake, so it didn't actually take you 10 hours as you wasn't working on it constantly as you was doing work. Why didn't you just guess it took you a couple of hours if you wasn't working on it constantly :/

From what i read, it took 10 hrs spread over 1 week.

I think he meant it took it him 10 hours split up into a little over an hour each day for a week. I'm assuming he was distracted if he had such little time so it probably took far less than 10 hours as he has been working on his corporation and NRp at the same time I think.

Might make this :P

may i suggest a naval warfare map with this?

I second this.

Boats work like crap in CE though, you can still drive them normally on land.

Oh God, please do!

TBQH the other one is WAY better. The detail map having that much prominence is just too much. The other one where it was there but not quite as intense looks insanely better. Plus the more prominent the detail is in any bitmap in halo, the less the 3D aspects contrast. The ghost in the other one almost looked as though it had bump maps with the specular used. With the intensifying of the detail in this new one here, it appears to have gone back to flat/fake looking.

has anyone got or is modelling a halo reach space banshee and seraph? they look so much better than the old models from previous games and would be great in a space battle/LNoS-esq level

Crit? Halo Reach Peli WIP

looks great! Not in the mood for thinking up some criticism right now, nor am I on my computer, and I don't really love typing it long posts on my phone anyways.

You might wanna be more descriptive about the thing your working on - I didn't recognise it at first lol...I thought "wtf, you call THAT a peli...oh right." Lol, looks very good, although you forgot (or are still working on) the struts beneath each wing.

Here's a pic for reference:

Ya, I know I got a bunch of reference pics of the pelican, I'm going to add those later.

Not a fan of the ghost, too much shine it blocks out the details. The warthog seems alright.

LODS CHANGE SHADORZ ON DISTANCE :DD
Hiralis you have a chance to make something new out of that hint, come on. Try to make it awesome on any level. (cf shaders are weirdo, too shiny and not blending coherently with texture imo.)

Man, this is takin me a while.

Crit?

You think that's taken you a while? You don't want to know how long it's taking me to finish one BSP....
