Halo 3 style Plasma Pistol Particles.

Unfortunately, the model did not have the planes for the shadered particles modeled in like the halo 2 one.

Get my new animations from Gamma if you can, I'm sick of seeing those ones.

I've got em, it's just that the charging animation doesn't loop right and it wouldn't look ok for showing the particles.

Is it just me, or should the heat gauge on the pistol be more curved to fit the handle, and a little more transparent? Or is that in the works and am I just plain dumb?

It IS more transparent, but the gauge has never been curved with the gun, even in the halo 1 model. It's just that the plane that the gauge is on is slightly bigger.

Here's a video of how i totally owned my enemy team.

I noticed the Halo 1 gauge wasn't curved, didn't think much of it though. I haven't played any Halo game except that in forever, so I'm not surprised I didn't realize it, however I am surprised it never got curved.... It just seems like it should be, looks out of place imo...

Wow I just watched a halo 3 video, and I can't believe it's not curved... Although it's less noticeable than the Halo 1 plasma pistol's....

And you realise your BSP can't colide with different objects or go through other objects. You need to attach ALL of the objects you have their and connect them all together.

Watch a modeling tutorial first.

And I see you have railings in the middle of your stairs, I'm guessing you used an object which MAX makes for you and then bended it. Looks to me like the cylinders have at least 18 sides... they only NEED to be a box but if you want them to be rounded then 6 sides will do fine...

It should be the same problem that Hayabusa had, you just have to switch it to "Plasma Pistol" in the tags.

let me know what sucks, I have to improve. I don't know crap about shading and my anatomy's a spastic. practicing periodically... could be practicing more

i know, I usually attach everything after i finish the model.

Uhh... It's not bad at all, aside from awkward shading (but you know that >_>)

What does this have to do with Halo?

maybe its a character concept.

Well thats bad and slow.

Agreed.

I've been practicing BSP modeling, and I think it's really efficient if you attach and optimize everything as you go. So far, it's made it easier in the long run, and I'm guessing it's going to be way better later on when looking over my work.

It's like the way I animate, you work on a little portion and make it as perfect as you can possibly make it (even if it means spending hours on that little portion), then work on the next portion and make that part perfect.

With yours, I personally would use cylinders with 5 or 6 sides to them, and attach them to the model as soon as possible. With the stairs, don't use the premade stairs, as they can waste polygons. Much of your polygons derive from the stairs and the cylinders.

Halo 3 barricade shaders. I tried to get that goldeny effect.

Dat's purty.

I see the old shipment bsp. lol
:)

Dude, that is sexy...
Mind if I ask you a question about those on Xfire?

decent stuff.

Considering it is a port from retail. I Agree. Not many good Shader replicas these days, good work jesse. good... work...

Yeah definitely. I like how this one actually emulates the Halo 3 style in the shaders.

With those shaders, it means you gotta fix the ground.

could use a better specular.

better is subjective

definte "better"

It looks like the barricade is floating on the ground.

that's not specular related I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong

I'm not one for shaders, but can't you make it shiny with a multipurpose map? That's how cmt makes shiny models, right?

The specular sucks. Its very dull looking, should be shinier, even if its worn.

now that's a much better criticism

when that happens I'll prance around in little tights and you can whip me with a cat of nine tails saying "I told you so"

this thread's fine.

it also looks pretty flat.

your posts are bad

Personally I think he's a pretty good member so far (at least on this account if they have another). Just being honest is all really, more realistic and harsh I suppose but still honest. Nothing is really wrong with his posts, you guys just take them as trolling/assaulting.

You are wrong, dont speak of things that you do not know.
Tool does not care if you have 1 object intersecting another.

well from my experience it does when ur trying to compile it.....
