It looks good; but it's too fast as of now. Keep it up though.

As previosuly said, it's a bit fast. And it stops too suddenly. It isn't hitting a solid surface, it should have a slower deceleration. Try to smoothen the animation up overall.

It's still decent though. Just fix it up and it'll be great!

DURP

It doesn't have to be Halo concept. Just FOR Halo.

A fantastic tutorial for learning animation, figured i would just put it here.

Have perpendicular and parallel be at an even distance from each other, parallel being higher. Objects in the real world have a Fresnel effect as a reflection is farther and farther away from you. Parallel being naturally closer to you. If parallel brightness is say 0.5, then have perpendicular be 0.3 or 0.4.

I already told him that it never looks good if you have more than .4 of a difference between the 2 reflection brightness's.

Another attempt at animation, this one is an enter animation for a pelican.
I have already made the anims for hovering and exit (x2) as well.

So yeah...

I like :)

The 180 turn before the troop drop off doesn't really fit with the pelican. Usually, pelicans begin hovering before turning. Other than that, it's pretty nice.

I agree.
You could go past the drop zone a bit and turn around and return to make the drop.

:/ i still wish the map was like my idea of firefight

wave 1 - 5 ground
wave 6-10 in the ship
then back


you get the idea

It would be cool, for the first maybe 3 rounds. Then it would get old, going back and forth. Plus, why would humans do that? They would just stay in the ship and kill shiz. Plus, the original idea behind my map, the CORE reason for its existence, is to have a firefight map with a custom bsp built only for it. Including covie ship interior would defeat this, and would only have the bsp that I spent weeks making played only half the time...

t3h moose needs me to bump

Thank's Hydro

Hey guys, it's been a little while, but I thought I'd let you guys know that Firefight-Descent is still being developed, and is getting changes and additions done almost daily.
Here's a little pic to keep you guys occupied:



Have a nice day!

looks like I'm not the only one using Ifafudafi's decals, but are you using his particle effects too, moose? :p

Nope, just the decals. The old ones produced too much lag.

Bloody murdzorz. Jackals always bleed too much.

How would I be able to tone it down? Same goes for the elites.

Looking for advice on what details to add to this head i started.

add some random details on the side and back of head. maybe a couple of SLIGHT extrudes or intrudes. it just looks too smooth right now

Was thinking some angled, outward bands going around back.

sounds good, also add a flash light thing on the side

I think the 2 white parts above the visor are flashlights.

OOHHHH ok that makes sense

the visor looks like it's a bit close to where his face would be there. Were you going for that or did you mean to expand the visor area out a little more?

I guess it could use some extrudes to look more spartany. Maybe more hatlike on the top, like in the back or front, like Halo 1's spartan.

I was trying to get that shape, and i dont think it pinches, it looks good from the front i think.

Looks nice.
Also:

NEW BIPED!

Thank you Shadowslayer for rigging this and making this possible. Rigging is by him, and shaders, multi's, and new helmet bitmap were done by me. Coming soon in mah map.

Lightning shid all over the head is cool.

I like that biped alot, but could you maybe use a different particle bitmap besides that overused electricity one in that image?

I see it in most mods with electricity in particle systems...

The actual proportions look off. Do some research into skulls ect so you can get the correct shape.

Also, id suggest adding more triangles to the curved areas, maybe add more details to the back of the helmet as at the moment it looks really plain. Looks good though :)

I am quite sure the proportions are ok.


thanks though.

I dunno, It looks just a tad too small in my opinion.

It's the right size for a human head without a helmet. Just my opinion though.
