Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You wouldn't have to play 'em. The Halo franchise and story don't care, why should you?

It's also the least closest thing to creativity.

Got my tablet back out, quick painting.

I use Photoshop CS3, along with my Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.

...Photoshop is a software program, and a Wacom Intuos is a pen tablet... they don't run Halo maps...

Yes

You can play Halo using a tablet as a mouse. It's about the worst idea ever.

Repaired my TI-nSpire the other day, working on low-poly collision and curved cylinders, fun agian!



mmm... you're gonna love the shaders, but I wont reveal too much.
P.S. curving cylinders on a parabola table is a great way to make perfect smooth arches

Probably the perspective, but in the first picture it looks like there is some major clipping of a tree shadow.

Also any modern day engine could do that in about 5 seconds ALL HAIL CRYENGINE!!! jk

Less than 5. Cryengine has realtime lighting

good work nonetheless

blah another painting tonight, getting better but still really need to sit down and just focus more lol.

Been trying to do one each night. I did this one for about 30 - 45 minutes and then got distracted. Feel free to destroy it, because its bad.

It's not bad, it's just not good.
(trying to be honest here)
Your perspective might be too far away. If you focused on drawing something more specific with a clearer image in mind rather than a general landscape it might be more pleasing to the eye.

There doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the cliffs and the ground. I thought the ground was grass at first, but the cliffs are steep enough that they seem like they'd be made of rocks.

I think the horizon is too high as well, and it seems like you were aiming for some long perspective, but it doesn't feel like the river is getting small enough in the horizon.

You don't know what BAD is *puts in 3 folders*

Hey guys! If you are intrested, polycount is running a "noob challenge". theres no prize, but you get alot of experience in modeling!

http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127503

Come check it out, its quite fun so far. You can use Halo's engine if you would like, but most people there will probably be using UDK or Cryengine.

My progress so far:



just a blockout. gonna use zbrush next and get about 9~ assets sculpted and baked down @_@

Lookin' good Higuy.

I started working on a map or something.


Needless to say I wasn't fully sober.

^^^omfg

Keep working on that. Looks like it'll have an interesting turnout!

I made this a long time ago and got pretty far but i'm never going to work on it again.
Screenshots are old.



They actually had collision and everything, but I just lost interest.

Sneak peek of something coming soon.

Sup with the black squares?

Some stuff I didn't want to show.

Then why post it at all, you were even too lazy to take a picture that wasnt a screen cap straight from sapien. Without the tower & the rest it just looks bland and no one will care.

Oh ok.

Any suggestions?

Maybe slightly less angular and blocky stock?
Edited by Dumb AI on Nov 17, 2013 at 11:03 AM

Maybe try putting on some proper iron-sights on the top alongside the ridged parts, apart from that it's pretty good.

Probably a mixture of both

Blog!

?

The bloom is just OS's standard bloom. The fog just appeared there when I first started it up in sapien, and I kept it.

Looks cool. What map is that?

ERMERGERD! It's me, how did this come to be? D:

I love you.

Already done.



Multiplayer map I'm making called Pagophobia. Plan to maybe release on Friday.
