What do you still need to do?

Edit the tail, make interior, edit wings, and finish the bottom.

Damn.. that's a nice pelican. Just needs dem texturzz

Thanks. I like it and all, but it doesn't seem good enough to me.

EPIC PELI!

Nothing wrong with it, I can see. What source are you using as reference?

Apply an AA filter when you render for god sake!

It looks like it, but the circles aren't that hi poly, but I could decrease them a bit. Also @anonymous2009, I think I have one, but I'll double check next time I render.

You think? It's built into the bloody software, well, if your using 3ds max?

I am, and it's always checked whenever I look so idk. I'm like 99% sure it is, but you're probably right.

when you hit f10 in 3ds max, go to the renderer tab and switch the filter from area to catmull-rom. your renders will look a lot nicer, more sharp

Ya, AA does look better.

So i got to thinking. Is it possible to make it so that players can stand on top of vehicles whilst their driving? like in halo 3\reach whereas you can stand on top of a vehicle while it's not moving and then when it gets up to speed you stay standing on it as it's driving.


Also, what does it mean when i try to export a model from Gmax and the JMS exporter says "no "get" function in undefined"?

Sort of. You can apply the same relative speed to objects a certain distance from the vehicle (OS), and work from there, but it wont make the vehicles any less deadly unless you make the vehicles ACTUALLY not deadly (of course, when your applying the speed changes, you can check if the person is different to the vehicles speed by a certain amount, which it then unit_kill's them (which doesnt count for points, which would piss people off more than not being able to stand on vehicles))
There should be more information shown at that point. You probably are missing a texture, see if the word "NONE" shows up anywhere on screen during that (like highlighted in that textbox in the back, etc)

Um, okay. i applied a texture, now it says ---unknown property: "name" in undefined---

Edit: Never mind, got it.

So if something will take a while, you shouldn't even try? I don't understand people anymore.

Because the H-reach pelican interior includes the cockpit with two seats. unlike the H1 which has a sealed door where that should be...Hmm. I just thought, i have the h3 pelican tags and they use the h1 collision. So you can walk through the back door when it's closed and you can't walk to the front of the bird...Someone should fix that...Maybe later. Lol.

Is it possible to rip from Halo Wars, and if so, would anyone be willing to port the Rhino for the Extinction Revamp?

Who said I wasn't going to finish it because it was too hard? I'm totally going to finish it.

Echo, the problem is, they're way too low poly. Up close, it'd just be flat, basically. Might as well create a new model.

Not necessarily, he could quite as well make all of the small scale detail with textures. You'd be surprised what you can trick peoples eyes into thinking they see.

We need more of these!!!

Any progress on that sweet Falcon?

That reminds me. I need help, i set my vehicle type to human plane. and when i change anything in the physics tag it causes the map to exception on startup. Why is it doing this and how do i fix it?

But of course!

Also hope lone doesn't see this when I haven't quite finished the...
The...
Thingy.

Almost done though, I promise!

Pretty nice design. Very nice work !!! :D

Look at how the rotation animation of the warthog gun works, it's something like this...

Maybe a frame is misplaced or maybe you made a bad rotation of the marker ? but if the effects plays right I'm wrong.
I never had this issue...
Maybe you could lend me your model so I can look at it (private message then. And I never leak. Brand image.)

If you set the deviation from gun barrel to 0 in the weapon tag it'll go exactly where the gun is pointing but that may not be the same as where the reticle is pointing.

i made this



i'm not a hundred percent sure whether ill get it ingame becasue its so high poly but this is a vehicles thread



i know that the render is a bit pixelated but that's because i'm using the cycles renderer and i didn't have time to do 2000 render passes.

Well make it lowpoly and put it in-game. No point putting that ingame.

Nice blender model, But yeah, you have WAY to many pollies there, there are a lot that aren't doing anything at all. And there's no way halo would be able to support that.

well i got bored and decided to customize the halo 1 warthog a bit,

i first added some metal bars and some different headlights to make it look more rugged

i also added some side handles for the passenger and driver and made it look like there was a radiator in the hood. not all of the textures are complete yet, and i would really like to find a way to make the troophog texture fit better with the stock ce textures.

i would like to help you with the aiming altis.

Hmm, a vehicle thread.. This just might be relevant!
EMP-able vehicle test *shrug*
You will use OS.. you shall obey kirby.. Obey.. Obey!

small update

some more texture work has been done on the bumpers (truthfully im not really happy with them yet)




and just one question should i use the mudflaps, and if i did would they be able to have physics.


i have a gauss variant and a chaingun variant planned as well

For the mud flaps you could make them flags, like the flag on the flag in ctf, and change the physics to make it seem thicker and less fabric looking.
