Impressive, I would do bsp modelling again but halo hates me for some reason. =P

ty, there isn't to many errors that i haven't hit with halo mapping aswell but sure, we continue anyways lol

Some animations for DMR. (2nd time ever animations.)
http://www.xfire.com/video/4d1c94/

need's some work on the animations. but its ok.

Would you mind pointing out the areas where it should be improved?

The gun needs to move more during the grenade throw, and your melee should be a bit further out and to the right.

the reload need's work. the mele need's work. that's it.

You know, it would help if you told him what was wrong with them, not just tell him to fix them.

@jeese yes your 100% right.

spartan the reload needs to look like this...

The reload's mag-out and mag-in convey no force whatsoever. It literally looks like he's reloading in a vacuum, or the receiver is filled with... Gun Oil :3
Get some gun/wrist/arm action going to match the movements.
The flow of the movement is also unnatural - The way his right wrist moves during the return to origin in relation to his left hand is really off. So is the slap of the mag-in.

The bolt pull covers half the screen with the back of the hand - Not a good thing. I can't even tell if he actually pulled the bolt. Move it further away.

The melee also blocks a large portion of the screen, and the return to origin actually has some clipping into the gun. Move it further away as well.

Grenade toss needs actual movement from the gun, not just the left arm.

For style points, slow down the fire animation a little, and have the bolt stay back for a few frames before sliding forward.

The movements overall are too jerky. Put more space between the frames.

I totally forgot I had a perfect Halo 2 tagset.

Seriously? Not having a tagset was half the reason I didn't finish my arbiter map/firefight.

Water is wayyyyyyyyyy too blue...da ba dee da ba da

Still a bit too da ba dee imo.

hey could you give the tags to me or tell me where you downloaded them
(if you downloaded them) Because mabye I might make my on H2 style Campaign rejoice!!!
Because that was also a problem with it I couldn't find any good tags if I did choose to make it. It would be really nice if you released them or just gave them to me somehow

Now that song's stuck in my head.

Elites are really starting to shape up, nice job!

:D

To compile a sprite, [from memory, I haven't done it in a while], make your sprite, add a 1-pixel pure blue outline, save it as a .TIF then compile it normally through tool.
If it isn't a power of 2 in dimensions, it'll come up with an error, but it doesn't matter, we just want the resulting .bitmap.
Open that .bitmap and change the type to sprite. Recompile using tool, and voila.

Nice job Waffles, there's elites look awesome :D

Banshee and Ghost look great, the Banshee just needs the separate material for the top with a green cubemap. The turret... I don't like the metal, it looks too fakebumped.

Looks like you don't have the banshee detail map on there sir, also you need to weld the vertices on the wingtips (where the blue flare goes).

Thanks ^^ Yea jesse i know ^^ the bitmaps of the turret are not mine (lolilol) I will improve that :D

Ok i will fix that :D.

Wow, nice shadering going on here, from our french friends as well!
Vivent darksoldier et bourrin!

Thanks guys :D Hey cheddar, if you want i can make the shaders for your shade :D

oh ok cool :D

Please, use proper detail maps, don't use greyscaled bump maps as a detail map.

Halo 2 Energy Sword would probably look better with Halo 3 origins.

To be honest any weapon especially the ones from Halo 2 would look better with Halo 3 origins.

it's unbelievable how much that resembles halo 2, I gotta say

I was bored and decided to rig the Halo 3 assault rifle model into the Halo 1 animations.



I might do this with all the H3\H1 weapon models.

Halo 2 has rather lazy, uninspired animations.
And don't even get me started on Reach. Half the time when I'm trying to play that game, I'm just screaming at the TV for displaying such disgusting movements on the screen as I try to melee a guy or something.

What you been smokin bro? Reach has the best animations of any game on the market.
