I'm thinking that it might look nice with a greenish yellow.

White, maybe?

Orange is still my favourite.

I agree with Waffles

I like the yellow, it adds good contrast. Green/blue/turquoise might look more forerunner, but I'll leave that decision up to you. Plan on using this for anything?

I personally like the contrast of the orange/yellow color. Reminds me of some of the inner circuit textures that's used by forerunners here and there.

So I've been working on an assualt rifle.




I'll upload to p3d or something if people want. It's for Installation 01. I'm going to get to making a new ammo counter for it though because it just doesn't look right to me. I might also change the head rest. I haven't unwraped it nor applied smoothing groups. I'm going to model the ammo counter more like the assault rifle concept I found via google (it's for that other cryengine halo thing that hasn't been updated in a year).

Here are some renders that I made awhile back for practice and is also content that will appear in the mod.

Lich


Lich Interior (Had to perform a remodel on it but came out pretty good i'd say)


Needler


Shade


Elite


Monitor of Installation 03


Reach Troopers


AR



Questions? feel free to ask.

Installation 03? Just out of curiosity, are you making a sorta prequel to halo 4 when infinity finds requiem on that installation?

in a sense, yes, though the infinity will not be present.

Putting it out there, that's Venerance's work. I would highly suggest asking their permission to use that, especially if you're doing it for your I01 thing. (unless you want to seem like a total jackwad to everybody)

Hes not using the venerance design. It doesnt really look anything like venerances.

it looks like you focused more on placing the textures in the right slot rather than focusing on the appearance as a whole. the elite and needler are the biggest offenders.

@masternoob

do elaborate please.

My elite render.
(Unrigged and unfinalized)



*I did not extract anything. I have just modified textures and added or removed some other stuff.*

I was just talking about the ar ammo counter. The assault rifle as a whole is a merger of many concept arts (mostly the halo reach ones). I just used the Venerance as an example to give a little visualization of how the ammo counter will change. I'm not "stealing" Venerance's work if that's what you mean.

Would very much like to see this in CE. Looks much more like a 60-round magazine.

it would be better if you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve because every single one of those images share nearly all the same problems.

why exactly?

When I import assets, or even make my own, I like to make materials for each asset in max before export. These were shots taken for the facepunch porting thread or to show progress of something to a buddy. If there is a problem, tell me what it is instead of whatever you're currently doing that isn't helping.



It isn't as much as a prequel to Halo 4 as it is the discovery of Installation 03 and the Composer. The mod will indeed fill some gaps that the books cover.

you're being ridiculously defensive over something that's your own fault. you only now state that these are just previews of what you've ripped, but I was going off of:

You stated those were practice for rendering. at least, that is exactly how you worded it no matter what you thought you said. I was going to criticize your rendering but apparently you decided that you didn't mean what you said. it's your own fault if you say something entirely different then what you meant; it's also your own fault for being prissy about it.

I'm asking you to tell me what is wrong! lmao what are you talking about? I'm sorry for saying something differen't before, they were practice with materials, yes, without a doubt, a lot of these I also posted on facepunch, etc.

E: I would like to know what is wrong for future renders if possible.

making this map for halo and it's a small map.
















I've fixed shaders, shadow, lightening and even the draw distance.
Edited by sshers4 on Feb 16, 2014 at 05:04 PM

You sure this is for halo?

You will see.


I will put this map into contingency game.
Edited by sshers4 on Feb 16, 2014 at 05:06 PM

Unluckily for you, this forum is only for Halo CUSTOM EDITION. So if I were you, i'd take it out of here before someone decides to remove it from here... just my word of advice ;)

Your going to have to wait awhile.....

yes true but it's a good thing while I wait I can still work on it until it's released.

There is some wierd hieght issues in your terrain either from whatever settings used in world machine or the hieghtmap you imported. You can tell becuase alot of the faces are stretched way too much

-No halo weapons
-No halo vehicles
-No halo characters
-modern guns
-crysis hud

omg so halo im leaving halo ce now

So wait use World Machine then what for textures?

You can use plugins to still get the base map of the ground. Even if you dont like the output (which you can still change via settings) you cna always get the masks for the base to use to with photoshop editing

You do realize contingency wont have a mod kit right? Nor am i aware of them planning on releasing the source code -_-
