That was hilarious.
It all the clips for all the H3 weapons only uses a total of 60 kb. I'm using the same shader references as the weapons of course so there aren't duplicate textures used.

What if somebody made 1024 different ammo clips at 1kb each? Maybe there could be a lot of guns. :P

Jaz, I really start to hate your annoying posts.

so does this mean I may soon be able to snipe pikachu's?

JOY!

:D :D :D :D
So purdy indeed.
Brings back memories. :D

Qwerty, I really start to hate your low sense of humour.

:(

looks beast though

Working on a custom control room. Little bit like the one the one in Halo 3.

Woot! This place needs more forerunner structures!

turn image quality all the way up D: tis hurting my eyes!

And an integrated weapon for shooting thunderbolts?

I don't know that much about forerunner architecture, but that really doesn't look forerunner to me.

too much smoothng, low detail also.

Yeah. The smoothing totally needs removed.

I know, it doesn't look forerunner yet, but I'll work on that. And sorry bout the quality, I don't know why the main structure was smoothed, but I'll try to get a better render up soon.

Your using 3ds MAX right? Either way, you go into edit mode and select all polygons. Then on the right side window thing scroll down to where smoothing is and "un-check" all numbers.

Yep, made some a long time ago:

Haven't taken any 3rd person pics tho. Bad FP anims,

@Sel, As I said before, it's going to be a bit like the Halo 3 control room. It'll be custom though.

I really really really really really really think you should just try to copy some forerunner structures, what you have is a terrible design, and has absolutely no redeeming features.

It would do a lot more for you to get more of a hang of forerunner by copying some stuff.

It'd probably be a good idea to try to copy that a few times, what you have doesn't look good at all.

Alright, I'll probably do that then.

I suggest trying to remake the control tower thing in H3's "The Covenant". It's an easy design to grasp and copy; I did it once a long time ago and it turned out alright. The best way to make sure you get all the details is to play the level in Theater Mode.

SEL! NO FLAMING! BAD BOY!

Besides, that's only the start of the model. LOOK AT THE DAMN TITLE, SEMI OFFICIAL GALLERY. Anyway, it looks like it will be the start of the model. You just have to add more levels, and take a deeper look. Good try though! You also have to add the tower sort of thingy at the back, and... more levels? Wait, I said that.

Well ya, this isn't the only level in my campaign.

SeL isn't flaming either, he's doing the opposite actually.

Never mind. My love for forerunner structures just got in ahead of my intelligence.

Sorry Sel.

He isn't flaming, it's called crit and the truth. Deal with it.

Legionz or already apologized :P, Check the post above yours.

I hate when people mask the truth by accusing it as flaming...
I don't get why some people can't take truthful crit.

A lot of the time people actually are flaming. Some people on this site don't seem to know the difference between flaming and crit. Saying "IT SUCKS! DELETE IT NOW" is NOT crit. You should explain what exactly do you don't like about it and suggest changes if you can.

SeL actually wasn't flaming though, he suggested something. :)

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/criticism
#1, "the act of passing judgment as to the merits of anything."
#2, "the act of passing severe judgment; censure; faultfinding."
#3, "the act or art of analyzing and evaluating or judging the quality of a literary or artistic work, musical performance, art exhibit, dramatic production, etc." (we'll get into analyzing, evaluating, and judging in a moment.)
#4, "a critical comment, article, or essay; critique."
#5, "any of various methods of studying texts or documents for the purpose of dating or reconstructing them, evaluating their authenticity, analyzing their content or style, etc.: historical criticism; literary criticism."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/evaluating
#1, "to determine or set the value or amount of; appraise: to evaluate property."
#2, "to judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality of; assess: to evaluate the results of an experiment."
#3, "Mathematics . to ascertain the numerical value of (a function, relation, etc.)." (according to #3, of the first, and #2 of the second, say "It sucks, delete it" IS valid criticism)

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/analyzing
#1, "to separate (a material or abstract entity) into constituent parts or elements; determine the elements or essential features of ( opposed to synthesize): to analyze an argument."
#2, "to examine critically, so as to bring out the essential elements or give the essence of: to analyze a poem."
#3, "to examine carefully and in detail so as to identify causes, key factors, possible results, etc."
#4, "to subject to mathematical, chemical, grammatical, etc., analysis."
#5, "to psychoanalyze: a patient who has been analyzed by two therapists." (those weren't very relevant to the current scenario.)

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/judging
(almost all of these refer to court, so I'll skip those ones.)
#3, "a person qualified to pass a critical judgment: a good judge of horses."
#8, "to form a judgment or opinion of; decide upon critically: You can't judge a book by its cover."
#10, "to infer, think, or hold as an opinion; conclude about or assess: He judged her to be correct.".
So, to sum that up, you don't need to suggest something, necessarily, more-of just need to say theres something wrong. Unless I mis-understood something, (which is quite possible, with how tired I am.) or something along those lines.

Except that nobody actually cares about dictionary references because what we should be considering is the crit that should actually be given which is constructive criticism. You're referring to any type of crit which is an invalid suggestion as nowhere have I seen a good review that attacks something.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/good
#1, "morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; pious: a good man."
#2, "satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree: a good teacher; good health."
#3, "of high quality; excellent."
#4, "right; proper; fit: It is good that you are here. His credentials are good."

You were referring to No. 2, yes?
If you were referring to No. 1, a better word, would have been "Friendly" or "Nice". There are plenty of "good" reviews, that attack someone, or something. Telling someone what they made is a worthless pile of crap is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, it tells them that they made something terrible, and to start over, silly you, never listening.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/constructive
#1, "constructing or tending to construct; helping to improve; promoting further development or advancement ( opposed to destructive): constructive criticism." I think I can stop at that.
Constructive criticism, would be to tell someone that what they made is terrible, and to retry. "destructive" criticism, would be to tell someone that what they made is terrible, and that they're an awful person, and should never try to do anything worthwhile again. See the difference?

Your post is horrible. I won't say why though, but in my opinion, there's some major flaws in there.
