This attracts the eye.

I improved the effect...
Click to enlarge gif.

Very cool.

What did you use to make the effect? Are the sprites and bitmaps custom? Looks good!

Yes.
I use animate sprite. (29 frames)

modeling using turbo smooth. idk if im doing it righ though...

Very nice. Turbo smooth gives very nice results altho it's a bit complicated to edit once you convert to poly for the last time.

It lacks definition and detail. Turbosmooth is never exactly necessary, even if many want you to believe it is. Opsy is right in that detail is a bit more complicated to implement once Turbosmooth is applied as well.

The method of in which you create polygons with the Edit Polygon tool is similar, yes, though you will use a lot of shift+drag to create the level (along with its wireframe) faster and more properly.

yeah its ok though if you want to create bump maps.

Okay people, getting bored of seeing people say "bump" maps. Bump maps are used on static objects such as the terrain in a level. On moving objects they are called NORMAL maps, as they alter the normals of each pixel on a object...

Oh ok sorry guys. @waffles yeah :p that's probably why I called it that lol.

Zbump is a bit different from the overall normal bumps in Halo 3. You can tell the difference by looking and comparing a normal one with a zbump one. Bungie probably used a program to generate the zbumps and another program to generate the normal bumps.

Beta map for testing chopper.
In halo trial !!!

CE tags or Trial tags?

Come to think of it, the high poly models and bump maps were probably made in zbrush

That's exactly right.

While the other bumps were probably baked or used a heightmap.

I HIGHLY doubt heightmaps are used...

CE Tag in Halo Trial for beta.
I prefer Halo Trial !

It will be on my new map. (for CE, Full and Trial)

Release ?
I'd like to use it for making an alternating shots turorial, i've been requested many times

Na !
Fait ça sur une de tes épaves j'déc...

Why?

Working on Pelicans again.. This time they're more stable and with better shaders, there were supposed to be normal mapping and specular but I've yet to decipher OS's syntax.

So... what's with the overly widescreen image, triple monitor I'm guessing?
E: Pelican's looking good.

Hey guys I extracted all the files from the Pandora Swamp map and I'm trying to use the Chopper, but when I'm in-game it wont let me enter it, if my memory serves me correctly I have to do something with physics, or an animation model for the biped, but I don't really remember... Could somebody tell me what to do?

Yeah 5040x1050, also I just found out why OS wasn't working. I compiled as a .map

It messed Specular and cubemapping up but at least there's clearly normal mapping.

Good to see you're working on these pelicans again :) Are they going to be 100% finished this time?

Cool stuff. Looks semi Halo 2.

Not saying you should work with CMT themselves, but you should offer that pelican to CMT for SPV3, ptowery, if you're actually willing to share it. Unless they just haven't finished the tagset yet, it's clear from A50 that they've not got a decent pelican model for SPV3 yet. ;)

Other than that, really awesome pelican! Looks a bit like Crysis graphics. :)

Thank you, Yes they are going to be finished, and yes they're Halo 2. CMT wouldn't want my pelican because it's not custom content, but a rip from Halo 2. CMT focuses on custom content, from what I can see, and doesn't use rips. Eventually, I will release this and whatever I finish to Halomaps, but I want to have them in a map. I am, without a doubt, one of the worst BSP modelers around, so It's even more of a challenge for me to get it into a nice map. But it'll get out eventually.

I'm working on a HUD for the pelican right now because no one has really tried for a nice vehicle HUD and the pelican needs it.
Edited by ptowery on Feb 26, 2012 at 11:49 AM

You could just throw them into bloodgulch or something, but I do like the idea of a good hud for them. Will you be finishing the halo 3 pelicans, too?

Hopefully. But a bloodgulch mod isn't a fitting map for a pelican, and it's a bit less than an origional idea.

How about Death Island?

Yeah, I'm going to try to make a BSP. I'm actually not that bad at modeling, but I could never make it past tool.

Death Island reminds me why I need to learn how to model stuff up to OS quality(Which I can't do, nowhere near)...
