No offense, but I don't like it at all. Maybe its the angle that you took the render?

I posted this on technical, but it's not nearly as viewed as General Discussion, and I really need an answer. Sorry if I'm spamming, but:

I use 3ds max 2010 64-bit. Chimp won't work for me and I can't import the .wrl file. How might I fix the degenerate triangles to get the .jms into .scenario form, bearing in mind I'm hardly an experienced user of the program?

Use an STL Check modifier in Max to check for errors.

Before exporting use a Turn to Mesh modifier in Max to pre-triangulate the model. HCE tends to make up errors(from my experience) when it triangulates.

WIP skin for the support beam.

that grey and black texture is pretty cool looking, i'm not too sure about that blue one beside it tho, it looks far too busy, and idk wrong colour to match the black and grey or something.
maybe just me but i don't think it looks right. but then it is a wip, so anything could happen.

Looks to me as though the black/grey one is unfinished and just a (very nice) base layout, I'm sure both will look awesome together when it's filled in.

Thanks.

you could very well be right there.

You are probably right about the wall texture being a bit cluttery. I'll try to tone it down a bit. But the other texture is a wip and mostly just solid color for the time being. Thanks for the input though!

I've been playing with OS and some tags...

I did an STL check and there are no errors. I converted it to an editable mesh. Your help is really really appreciated. Quick question to anyone who can answer: Using BlueStreak, what should I tick before I export a bsp? Just to make sure? Do I need vertex weights or streaming with MAXScript Listener? Cos last time I unticked those 2.

It's been a while since I took an unspoken hiatus but anyway. Here is something I have been doing the last couple days. 56k warning on these so I will not actually post the image itself here.

So I take it nobody wants to help with that covenant ship?

My first time ever doing a character animation.

do you have a texture for it?

@MoooseGuy was it a face plant? lol

@ally: Yeah, he forgot about that dang loading ramp. Wah wah wahhhh

Unless someone can fit the Halo 2 cruiser texture on it, i'm afraid no.

i haven't tried doing a vehicle but sure how hard can it be right.
if you want to send the model and texture go ahead i will have a crack at doing it.

edit: i use max 8 btw.

Erm, I can see the OS on that. That actually looks really nice with OS.


Pre OS looks like this :/

started doing this for side project while helping rerout

Please use jpgs. that image, took 10 seconds to load.

Ratrace meets Hangemhigh meets Longest?
So many unoptimized polys tho X_X

EDIT: Oh dang I was right. Longest.

yeah gotta fix it :p and masterchief what did i tell you lol

just noticed this is a halo 4 model based off the concept art, good job.

the model in question would be way to high poly though if I went fully to the concept art so I will probably only be doing the basic structure shape and whatever else I can fit in to keep polies at least reasonable.

I'm back anyone want me to finish the chief?

my crap terrain started.


don't worry i pointed out my own flaws.

Just about finishing up the Halo 2 Elite tags.


There's quite a bit more going on, but it's tentative to say the least, I'm not exactly known for finishing projects on time.

M6C, please?

You mean dis?


Also, new shaders for the PP.

The way those fingers are curved on the h2 hands scare me. Dear god it's like a horror movie :(

I meant the Halo 2 pistol you had here. We have decent Halo 3 pistols already (although yours have lights, and lights are cool), but the best H2 magnums we have are these. P:

Some edits I made to my glove hands (in-game).









Obviously I made these because I have and use them IRL.

Your bones look too much like dog bones rather than human bones... :x

I'll just leave this here.



Lovin the gloves btw Jesse.
