First 2/3 look very similar in model/design. Halo 3's looks smoother. So you guys are judging based on the shininess, am I correct?

I'd prefer reach's Banshee. It's smaller and seems quicker. Keep in mind that the first two pics are in-game.

I like the way Reach's looks just because of the design change, but I prefer halo 3's out of the original models.

Ha, Petera275 is still alive :-)

You should have this going on. It would make it more epic:

Odd question here, but, why do the Spartans in the UI have no shadows?

They're vampires.

Might change stuff around. Obviously the CQB spartan hasn't been placed yet.

Cewl. Is this stuff for the UI? If it is, I don't know how it'll fit.

Can you make the UI so if you go to a different section, it shows a different thing? Cause maybe if you're in the Gametype options this would be cool. Have a sniper leaning on the front right wheel, and some other stuff. That'd be sick.

You just gave me an idea (and no you won't get paid.)

the cqb looks epic.

SICK!

So, i just gave you an idea? Me? I'm rookie!

Cewl.

So, why don't you put this in the gametype options thing? That'd be so awesome.

I'ma getting dis UI.

Time for my close-up.


(it's the armor I play as in Halo 3.)

He needs to be moar casual and slouchy. But maybe that's just because I'm lazy.

Is the guy on the wheel depressed?

No, he's smoking not so healthy things.

Fixing the arm.

Scene needs more cowbell.
bump

Does everyone think the same thing I do when seeing this?

New UI? o.O

The poor longsword on the left is jealous of their arsenal. And because he never gets used.

Longsword: Oh man. Look at those lucky hogs and pelis. Dey da stars of Halo. I mean, I DO ALL THE WORK! They only ferry guys from place to place like glorified chauffeurs. I have a shiva nuke, and nobody cares!

Egh. I like how you put those colours on, but isn't it supposed to be a Red Vs Blue battle? Or r u changing it to Elite and Spartanm or marine, whatev. Please make it Red Vs Blue, because nobody does anything for dat on halomaps. The only RvB related thing there is is Epsilon Sp, which is friggin awesome btw.

Haloid?

Why don't you make the Spartan/Warthog part of the BSP with no collision so you can use a normal map?

ohaithar.

Also, if hes using OS, he can already do it as scenery. I was more thinking he should use a biped with nulled animations, just so he can get his dynamic shadow so he wouldn't have to redo lightmaps or bake it, etc.

Bout the you've showed up doan. Loving the UI btw.

Hey doan.

I thought about using the bipeds as BSP, but then I'd have to do all the lightmapping stuff which I can't quite do yet. I've been on the fast track lately in terms of things I have been learning. I can make HUDs, unwrap, (almost) texture, rig weapons and do some nifty tagging. I suppose lightmaps can be easy to make, but I heard they take a very long time to get done, and I fear that my PC may just not have the resources it takes to get them done quickly. I'll get to it soon I suppose.

Nice to see you Doan.


And believe it or not, it is totally an coincidence that the white spartan looks just like the one on the spread with all the weapons. I actually posed it before I even saw that image.

Do it my way, run it without a sun, will be done quite fast. Then, open paint, create a white bitmap that matches the lightmap sizes, overwrite it. Its like magic.

Or I can just run the lightmaps for you :P

You can do what I do with lightmaps, run them for 5 minutes on radiosity 1 then click the ~ key and save them, works well for me. and I have an awful computer.



I got these lightmaps that way (sorry about the quality).

The animation resets and doesn't flow properly, are you going to get that fixed?

Good god that HUD is terrible.
