Yeah.

Well I was busy last night. REALLY busy.



Armament's is basically 2 "ground-pounder" MagAccelCannon's which is basically a bay of like a whole bunch of MAC's. Also has 1 main MAC cannon going through the center of the bottom part (the long area) and has 2 smaller MAC's on the side. Small point defense turrets will be placed around. There are 2 basically giant splazers. And missile's pods all over the place.

Can hold 6 Frigates and 12 Halcyon class cruisers, with a repair dock on the back.

Still need's more work though.

I dont see a space plane! Why dont I see a space plane!
It's lookin really good so far!

I don't have teh space plane yet. And I thought YOU were making the single ship fighters for this?

Looks awesome. Are you planning on getting this in-game and which period is it meant to be from? If it's Pre-Reach, continue, but add some old stuff like the Spirit of Fire's class of vehicle. If it's after Reach, make it hold Marathon-class cruisers instead. I also advise some small arms like AA cannons from rp_gamma_marine, missile pods and nuke missiles (like those from the longsword) and maybe Dracos, Prowlers and some small fighters, e.g. sabers. I advise making it like an oversized Star Destroyer from Star Wars: Battlefront II in terms of turret use, areas such as the bridge, camera views etc.

Also, if you want reference aside from the Spirit of Fire, I found this:

I might use aspect's of that as well.

And this ship doesn't exactly have a class it's just a custom made ship.

It's would be used after REACH, yes.

Well the main purpose of this is just ground-pounding. Basically pounding LARGE areas of planet's into dust. The hanger's were mostly just to show how big it is. If I had a Marathon class I probably woulda used it instead. ALTHOUGH this ship is used by merc's and not the UNSC. Most of what would be seen of it is the ground-pounder cannon's on the bottom. The biggest problem is texturing.

Also on the video:


E: Decided to add amazingcuziam's onager and several turret's off of the Frigate's.

K. Nice choice using the Onager btw it would be great to see it on a ship. In any case, I can help provide texture help and get you ship models from Halo 2 and 3, e.g. Marathon class Cruisers.

In terms of ground pounders, that again reminds me of Star Wars, and the mercenary forces that controlled some powerful dreadnoughts.

Pics of exterior:









Bridge:



Seriously, if you want anything from a Frigate, Halcyon/Marathon Cruiser or any Star Wars ship, let me know. I have the entire interior of the Star Wars ship above, and a lot better than the Battlefront one -Bridge and all.

It's nice that you added some more parts to it, but all that did was make it even more Boxxy, I think a good round of turbosmoothing is long overdue.

stop suggesting something that idiotic.

I don't think I will need anything. Is there a frigate scenery tag out There? I will probably set this thing up as a BSP since I on't think there is a map out there that would hold this thing. As far as being boxy I am trying to conserve tris. Last count I had about 7k. I might use some chamfer's and bump it up a Notch. Probably gonna add some more engines and possible mess around with and and maybe make it have atmospheric capability's. Also need to (maybe) model the archer missile pods. Maybe more design aspect's from the SSD as well.

I could use the bridge of a ship or 2 to see how to model it. I need to model the bridge, the ODST drop area, and the ground-pounders. Most of this ship will actually not be seen.

Texturing help would be WONDERFUL.

A Forerunner MP map I've been working on. It's a part of that competition at Modacity, so I thought I'd post my WIP here for some criticism.

Modacity is having a competition?

http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?23343-COMPETITION-BobtheGreatII-s-May-Modeling-Challenge-Forerunner-Map

Forerunner.

If you're talking to me, I don't quite see how my suggestion is idiotic.

His edges are clearly too sharp. A few iterations of turbosmooth would instantly fix that problem, creating perfectly molded rounded corners.

In addition, it would also create more polygons, turning his model into a hi-poly masterpiece.

Finally, it would create a few small errors in the geometry, and fixing those errors would help him build experience and character.

Therefore, my suggestion still stands.

You obviously haven't got the first idea what turbosmooth is used for if you think that THAT is what he should do to his model.

in order to make perfectly rounded corners, you would need to add more polies so that it knew where to smooth to. In it's current state, turbosmooth would take this thing and turn it into a blob of vertices. Also, turbosmooth would add way more edges than needed even if done correctly. It should never really be used in any gaming no matter what engine or how good it is except when preparing to bake a normal map. That's basically it's only purpose. It would not be practical to use it on any models for halo and export the models that way because the models would gain so many polies that your one model would most likely crash the game.

NEW BIPED CONCEPT ART

Sel, what are these drawings you keep doing of some fox type thing? They are scare me, they look very gay :S

Just because I could... I tried to turbosmooth... My machine... isn't exactly the BEST of computers like my brothers. Hence it almost died on me. And looked horrible anyway. The sharp corners are part of the design. There ARE some spot's however such as the bridge and the shield generator that could use some smoothing. I plan on exporting this as a BSP after I get a bridge built.

what's the matter?

scared of gay bipeds?


Edited by SeL on May 16, 2011 at 11:27 AM

If you wanna take a crack at it go ahead. I don't think anyone actually cares.

Apart from Dennis.

That's true...

The perspective on the left leg looks off.

Also, fA exists for a reason.

yeah I know I posted it there too :):)

ty for the crit you're right I did mess it up oh well guess I can't make a biped out of it : (

also this is what turbosmooth is for



It's not for just arbitrarily adding to a low poly model.
Edited by SeL on May 16, 2011 at 07:23 PM

lol okay.

you know, i really dislike "asain" anime, especially that stupid wolf, fox, demon, cat, crap. w/e it is, that's like everyone of those shows now, so I'm gonna have to agree with anonymous' opinion on the "concept art." Sry =\


lol :P

/topic

What did i do?
Only an idiot burns nachos.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but those look delicious.

Oh yeah?

Top this Maniac.

Delicious or no?

mmmm that does look tasy

Kinda wish i was not at my house eating burned nachos right now :(

Anyone making any forerunner styled dinner/supper tonight?
If i were,I would top it off with lashings of extrusions, bevels and a turbosmoothed sauce of some description.

Dawww... c-c-combo breaker. I was hoping this would become a food thread.
Actually, I was doing some forerunner and terrain experimentation earlier, but I don't want to have to start 3ds max up again tonight. Maybe later.
Triangle thing looks cool, though. How big is it supposed to be?

Give us an angle from the side. It looks okay from above, but we need to see the side the player will see as well. I don't think the player will be spending a majority of their time 5000 feet in the air mind you.

So it's about 20km long.
