WIP Forerunner Power Module



Edited by 032 Mendicant Bias on Feb 19, 2013 at 08:33 AM

so i loaded up the second bsp of a30 this morning and i noticed the sky wasn't working, so i went and re-extracted it,

just when i had though i had seen it all this happened:




im assuming theyre corrupted bitmaps, so i will go back and look for non corrupted ones. but i have never ever seen an entire maps bitmaps become corrupted at once XD

OK so i fixed my bitmaps but the sky will not show up its just black...

annd since this is a wip thread
i have almost finished my Gauss hog, all it needs is a few small shader tweaks and some better effects and its ready to be released

Disco edition :P

i though rainbow road, or halo Trippin ballz edition.

warthog looks smexy, but you might want to reduce the specular

also, you should probably work on the gauss beam

yea that was all in the plan, i do need help with the effects as i am horrible at making them...

so in that case i will upload the warthog after i tweak shaders and someone else can do particles and effects if they would like, ill still work on them but it will be a while longer then someone who is more experienced with them

also does anyone have any idea on how to fix the black sky issue?

Looks good, not as much plastic as before!

as people mentioned that was due to p3d not rendering it properly, try it yourself. its great for displaying models and textures. lighting and materials, not so much

The bloom, it hurts my eyes :(

Here you go:


The horridness of this overexposed, blurry misuse of HDR madness should counteract what you saw earlier :)




This is a shotout to all those crazy BLIND. people on youTube that have bloomMod-addictions. :P

whoever made that abomination must have been blind or on some serious shrooms.

OH DEAR.
IT'S SO HIGH DEF THAT MY EYES ARE BURNING.

Update





Edit: Power core is 97% complete, just have to model a few things and then I can get to the garbage.

too dark!

It's way too bright.

Either that or it's just the color.

nope too dark, I say its too bright when anyone who looks at it (besides me) burst into flames.

What kind of monitor do you use?

Acer LED 21in

Might be your monitor settings.

nope I can see why you think its bright but bright to me is when you guys burst into flames cheers and bears ( yep I mean the kind that live in the wild)

I'm beginning to like my stuff saucy.

Hey just wanted to show a custom HUD I made for practice, not really gonna put in game, it was just more of having fun with it.

Looks great veexy.

Looks pretty good~ ...kinda reminds me of the Halo 3 ODST HUD.

Just curious, what's the thing on the bottom right?

I like how the hud has the ordinance element in the corner.
You ought to use it in an actual map - tiss purdy indeed.
Maybe if the game doesn't have ordinance, you could instead put a score counter or something there, like in H3

That thing looks like armor abilities or something like that.

Looks stunning. Almost as good as reach.

EDIT:

Well, the rig is more or less done. I can pose it however I need it too without glaring problems, but there's still a few things I want to adjust.

Here's a quick animation test I did. Having issues with the thumb. If only max didn't group biped part keyframes togteher when they are on the same frame, and I could just start the thumb's animation over without removing the animation on all the other fingers.



If anybody has some tips for getting the thumb right, please tell me.
Edited by jabberwockxeno on Mar 3, 2013 at 06:38 PM

For some reason, MAX has all of the movement of the biped "bones" grouped together in single keyframes.

IE: all the movement for frame X for all the fingers in in a single keyframe, instead of one for each finger bone.

If I can figure out a way to undo that, then I can just delete the thumb ones.

EDIT: A little better.

It looks pretty natural right up until he puts his hand into a fist. The problem could be that his fingers are moving too slow and the thumb is a bit awry, but I would think that's what you're having trouble with. My main concern is that the rest of the forearm/wrist/palm area doesn't move at all.

Yeah, that was my number 2 thing to fix after the thumb.

The issue I have now though is that it won't let me set any more normal keyframes for the biped parts. THe sliding/planted/free keyframes work though. Any ideas on how to fix that?

What is this? Like area/environment setting.

Do xbox maps have readable tags or do they only contain meta?

I was thinking of studying them to find patterns(seeing of there are any functions that only work ingame if certain flags are ticked in the tags) but I'm too reluctant to get my small room dirty just to debug >:(

EDIT!!!!! I don't think I've ever been drunk before, actually I don't like it :(
EDIT2> That was a good night

So, me and ol' Pepzee started on our next project this week. Here's a biped from it:


"That was one hell of a crash..."


More to come....

WHATEVER COULD IT BE /sarcasim everyone already knows
