Bring it back bring it back bring it back bring it back bring it baaaaaaaaack.


...unless you're going for style, which in that case you're relatively okay and good to go.

@Advancedbo,

Is the ground currently 3 'blocks' wide?

For looks, yea. But I will probably add invisible walls that restrict the player to use only the center row of blocks.

I am also working scrolling camera that follows the player like in mario.

awesome,

I like this idea, but can you make it so the player can only move forward and backwards (jumping/crouching included, of course) but disable their ability to turn? That would make aiming a lot easier from a sidescrolling perspective.

Yes.

Got bored :) Lol.

I made a structure inspired by hangemhigh ^^

I don't like how one side has a sharp corner and the other has a more rounded one. Consistency's the name, modeling's the game.

Update

tbh, it looks a bit dull, i know textures can easily change that, but it seems like it's lacking an extreme amount of detail. Good Start though

Compare it to the actual Hang em' High, and you will see that it is pretty accurate in the limited amount of detail xD

It just inspired of the original map :) But, there are more details, in the interior etc... I will add textures etc.. but it just a start right now ^^ Maybe later ;D

make a river on the map i tried to do one on alexey but i was lazy to make the map with it.

Put some detail and uniqueness into your cliffs!

Decided to work on something fun & simple.




Don't really know what I should add. Any ideas?

A ring on fire to jump through would be great.

This map has a lot of interesting obstacles that you could use as inspiration. Maybe have a portion of the track that's iced over? Maybe a part where you have to drive across two boards (one for each tire) suspended above a pit?

The turn from the start is greater than 90degrees, I suggest you add more "ground" to the turn.

What do you guys think? It's a forerunner building.







Back


Front


Side


And another angle

Somehow looks like a human building to me. lol

That does not look Forerunner. It has some elements of the design aesthetic, such as flying buttress-like supports, suspended components, and insets, but the angles are too hard; Forerunners typically use 45 degree angles with a fair share of 90 degree angles, but certainly not that many. If you were to chamfer or otherwise break the majority of the larger, more obvious corners, then it might look more Forerunner.

Also, I would suggest reducing the complexity of the model a bit in terms of all the insets and minor chamfers, instead focusing on the larger shape as a whole. As it stands right now, I feel there is too much to look at, too much angles, chamfers, extrusions, all changing how one currently observes the model.

On the other hand, I do like that the model doesn't seem "empty"; you have extrusions/bulkheads/stuff set up in open lines of sight to break the potential monotony of vision.

Don't take that as discredit to your work. It is a magnificent design to be sure, it's just not a Forerunner design at the moment. Qwerty has it right at declaring it to be more of a human design than Forerunner, though I feel it would do well as a part of some starport in Star Wars. The last image reminds me of Episode III.

I think it would if it had some forerunner texture and if it was in game. You guys just don't see it as I do. :\ Well...Time to redo some things then...maybe... :(

Turn that frown upside down. What you designed is a solid model. It clearly requires skill to design something like that, not to mention the creativity to imagine and maintain a design of that magnitude. Left untouched, you could use it for something of human nature. With a lot more curves and more solid supports (i.e. not as many suspended components), it could pass as Covenant (I'm not an expert in Covenant architecture, so I can't say for sure). But to get it to the Forerunner level, a reworking will be required, unfortunately.

If you haven't already, google "forerunner halo" and look at the images to get an idea. I've found many an inspiring piece of concept art that way. Also look at some of the established modelers on these forums. The Lumoria Campaign by Higuy and his team, SeL, and myself (no, I am not trying to self-promote here. According to the multitude of posts on the one thread I've made about my designs, I produce quality work. Not necessarily the best, but certainly approved as a whole) are good examples. I know there are a lot more experienced Forerunner modelers and concept artists on these forums, but alas, I do not know all of their names.

use the chamfer tool more.

I second this.

Lone Warrior. He is a great forerunner modeller, indeed, one of the experts(if it was him that modelled the forerunner stuff in his Flood Campaign.) Check out some of his, but don't follow it too strongly- its clearly designed for underground use.

I second this, but do note it appears he has used portions of BSPs from Halo 2. Nevertheless, I am excited to see what his work looks like once he releases the campaign.

Very good, release pl0x?

It's been slow progress, but I finally rigged the Halo 3 Rocket Launcher model into Teh Lag's Elite animations (for a separate project I've been trying out.)
