Just because I don't agree with the opinion of one of the most childish, cantankerous self centered malcontents in the forum is not an indication of arrogance. Your argument that the PNG format be banned is fundamentally flawed in that it is not the PNG format that is at the root issue of contention. The actual issue is that people are creating large images that you have to download and banning PNG's will not solve that problem.

So instead of politely asking, a concept that seems alien to you based on your actions in the forum, that people refrain from posting large images you instead go on a pointless mission and rampage to attempt to get me to ban one of the most widely used image formats on the internet. Ludicrous is the most appropriate term of description for the request and your actions.

You are free to dislike the PNG format for what ever reason you choose but I will not ban it from the forum. That is not arrogance that is different perspective than yours from the owner of the forum.



I will however request that people please be aware of the size of the images you are posting and reduce them for posting in the forum directly and link to the higher-rez images if required. It is the polite and considerate thing to do.

Hopefully with that said by Dennis, pngs usage will be reduced on this forum.

And less overreaction.

[WIP] Jet

Use real-world fighter jets as a point of reference.

Or other aircraft in the Halo universe.

The top-left and bottom-left images here could be helpful.

It's a good start, but if anything, it looks more like a space fighter than an atmospheric fighter jet to me.
Right now, the jet intake is way too small for the plane to realistically function, the vertical and horizontal stabilizers (small wings on the back) are too blocky, the pilot looks like he's barely getting any view of what's in front of him (think: this way, if the cameras fail, how will the pilot not be screwed?), and the whole thing doesn't seem aerodynamic enough to even take off... unless Reach's upper atmosphere is actually soupy and thick, but I doubt that's true.

-I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan of planes, so I'm kinda picky about these stuff...

Like Echo said, looking at real-world planes (especially the F22, F35 and X47B) will probably help. It looks like a nice concept, but I think you can make it look more functional while still keeping it Halo-y.

The models look OK but why put a watermark on them? It's kinda distracting from the overall model.

Putting a watermark OVER the model is more than distracting, it shows unprofessionalism.

Is that first one a Vulture from Halo Wars? I would have modeled that ages ago if I had near enough experience.

Also, for future reference: NEVER use watermarks. Listen to XlzQwerty1, he knows what he's talking about.

The whole point of uploading them is so that people can view it. If the water mark is blocking the picture then there's not much point of the picture.

We're just saying tone it down a bit.

What is the point in the watermark? Just put your name at top right or something...

Exactly, put your name in a corner. Don't put it over the model that we are looking at.

... It's hard to tell, because you know...

Sure that'd be nice.

Much better.
That vulture looks really nice.
Do you have plans for texturing it?

Well you have not provided a wireframe so what exactly is there to crit...

I would very much like a working, good-looking Vulture. o.O

That's already a whole lot for halo. I'd say your vehicle should be 10000-15000 poly max or low end users will start stuttering and lagging.

You said poly... so you have no clue.

Hello
First test in game with Open Sauce, i test first with a scenery :



Look the size of the plane compared of the Banshee (it's the real size)

Will there be a non-OS version? Can you make it so the blue circles on the top wings can be used for the primary fire, and put a marker on the bottom of the plane that could be used to drop bombs from?

That's really a lot. Especially since polies are converted to tris. 1 quad = 2 tris. So you could have a model made out of 10 polies that are all 10 sided, which would actually be 80 tris (i think, it's 1:30am and I'm doing this in my head). The warthog is 2798 faces. I know halo can handle a lot more than that, but 100k is waaaayyy overkill.

Yes no problem ;)
I need long time for adapting the airplane in a vehicle.

Assuming that he's doing 2 tris per poly.

That vulture is pretty nice.

That's still a huge amount. 200k tris maybe for most of c40, but not for one vehicle.

Where is the wireframe?

You should also give your wire model a push modifier of like 0.5 or some small value (depends on the scale you're working in) so that your wire will always appear on top of your solid faces.

No, that is crap.

A simple Google search will answer your problem properly...

How to render PROPERLY...

It works, but it's wrong.

Oh hunter, you so funneh hahahahah

There is no right or wrong. If hiralis wants to do it his way then let him. If it works for him, then so be it.

Yes there is a right and wrong. Should I quote a game artist who is in the industry ?

And it's not FOR him? The wireframe is for people who know what they are talking about.

why are people doing this when you can render wire frames using the composite material shader in 3ds max material editior.

I wondered the same thing.

Because Hunter told us that his way is the right one, and everyone else is doing it wrong.
