oh dear those are my civilians aren't they. Only been a few months and I've gone so far.

Visor is done, off to finish the grenades!

Hot!

I don't know if intentional or not, but you missed the radar area on the visor.

The MP HUD doesn't have a radar area.

Sadly i did not know that until today.

DONT JUDGE ME

FRONT-STAB-U-ALL

It's "Bückstabü" and I believe it means "What you want it to"

It's so bland, and didn't know how flat everything was till I rendered it. Pretty much just rough sketching this thing out as I go, then will move the verts around/add more once I get the layout right ('m just building as I go, didn't sketch anything out to start with).

And I have to run a virtualmachine on Windows 8 because 3ds max hates it. Coming back from almost 3 years of no modeling I think i'm doing pretty decent.

edit:
Got the basic layout done! It's coming along better then I expected

Retextured some marines.

Comparison

Team Color-able

New Detail on armor and clothing

Totally swank gloves

Crappy unfinished medic permu

These might come with a version without mic, without eye visor thing, and a without mic and eye visor thing
I can't animate for beans. I can use Guerilla though. edited the animations to fit multiplayer more. Still kinda crappy :/ . anyone have better marine animations?
Ignore the Battle Rifles.

what resolution did you retexture these at?

I've been looking for some multiplayer-capable Marines with color change permutations, but I'm afraid I'm not a big fan of the scales on the armor.

I also feel like the medic's armor should be more white than black, perhaps with a red cross insignia against a white field on the chestplate.

Those look rather...good. Whoa, never thought h1 marines would ever look good

Wow... I'm baffled. Why didn't Gearbox do this in the first place? -__-

they had to work with 2001 software with low-res textures and a still-developing internet. today we have a bunch of free textures to use that are computer-generated or created with modern software.

sorry, was that rhetorical?

Sorry but personally I find the defualt marines too look better than these.

These marines have an unnecessary amount of detail maps applied to them and look fugly. For example, the hexagons everywhere. Is that really necessary or even realistic?

I kinda like the hexagons, but then again they make the armor feel a little sharp or scaly, maybe you could try smoothing them abit to see what sort of effect it gives? just a suggestion

since we're posting textures:

started on this this morning but then had to go to the store, so it's still in the early stages

it looks a bit boxy if you zoom in (you'll see what I mean) but I should have it buffed out later.

I was curious about what you guys think of the snakeskin-like skin texture. Yay or Nay?
Edited by Delicon20 on May 12, 2013 at 01:41 AM

the scales are pointing the wrong way. they should point toward the elbow, not around the arm.

it is kinda fugly to me. realistic. ha this is halo. But yeah it its kinda poorly slapped on.



Default resolution.

You mean Bungie right? Of course you did.

Gearbox only ported the game (and broke some things)
They didn't make the game.

I thought so, you should've retextured at a higher resolution, like 1024x1024

the details like the hexagons would've looked much better.

Love that HUD Bourrin. Glad to see you're using the Ma5k too. I always loved that weapon tag, almost caused the entire community to chase me out back when "rips" were taboo (and I didn't understand exactly what they meant). It looks updated, yet still simplistic.

made a thing.

edit: someone needs to bump the 3dsmax renders thread.

Edited by master noob on May 12, 2013 at 11:44 PM

Can I have the CC maps? (color change)

I've never liked the Ma5k for some reason. Always found it to be a bland, ugly gun. Personal opinion.

Yeah that Ma5k looks terrible.

I feel like the medic shouldnt have shoulderpads and he should have a meshed white texture with a red cross where the shoulderpads would've been. For design points, put it on his right shoulder only to make it distinct. Oh and his visor should be orange or red

New version pls then

seconded, however u should probably ask bob, instead of masters

I third this notion

Until we can find a good reason to have it in gameplay, there's no point. It's functionality has been folded into the BR, AR and Carbine these days.

Oh, but having a brute plasma rifle thats RED and 10,000 other similar guns makes alot of sense in gameplay

If you guys ever make MP maps again, replace the AR with the MA5K.

Wasn't the only purpose of it for dual wielding because dual wielding the AR would be to OP so they needed a less powerful fully automatic weapon?
