The top one looks great! Overall, without the changes, it looks cool.

I also think if you're going to keep the slanted stripes, they shouldn't be completely transparent in the center.

Yeah, those are all good suggestions. I was going to change the strong inner gradient, it's too abrupt.

My goal is to get these to match the CMT UI and the in-game HUD as closely as possible while keeping the functionality and visuals of a Loadout style element.

Is it just me, or is that shield new?

I'm not sure what you mean, are you talking about the bubble shield icon? I made it using a 6 sided tube in 3ds.

Everything was done in 3ds and using 3ds shaders.

3ds...max?

Let me rephrase that:

Is the bubble shield an armor upgrade now?!

Tbh it does not take a genius. Mess around with a flat plane render your meshes out in white to use them as masks in gimp or ps.

That's the beauty of it. It's simple, and you can render out a final image at whatever image size you want without losing resolution quality.

I generally don't export to PS because what I render out in 3DS is generally the final product, unless I want to make some simple changes. In any case, I can't really use vector shapes in Illustrator (nor do I care to) and that's why I use 3ds, and it makes it easy to keep the source material.

For rendering the weapon icons, I just import the weapon model, set environment and lighting to all-white, and background to all black and render the final product onto a flat plane (because the altered lighting would affect the other elements).
It doesn't take a genius, but CAD was the first to do it as far as I am aware. He actually taught me a few tricks that have been very useful to me.

If anybody is interested, I'd be glad to upload some examples on what I've done recently.

No, I don't know why he is having it in there, the only armor upgrades we have for loadouts are VISR for T&R and Health Regen for the TSC's and AOTCR

I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Question; are we going to see things such as the Scarab battles we saw in Halo 3, and possibly dual wielding?

(Forgive me if that question has already been asked. XP)

Frosties thighs are more than likely slick with anticipation right now..... you may as well.

*checks halomaps for CMT after a year* IS IT OUT YET? nope... I'll be back in another year. Cool stuff here tho, can't wait to play it.

June 25th.

Even though I support the project at this point nobody can believe a promise like that.

I can see how one delay can lead you to lose faith with us.

hasn't it been on delay for the past half decade or so?

It is better to delay, than to fall into disarray.

When there is no release date, it's not on delay. The only release date before was during CE3 2014.

^and that was all dependent on the Evolve team getting TSC:E out first.

People probably still associate this, quite logically, with SPv2.
Which of course had quite the delay track record.

Why do ppl even care about release dates. It happens when it happens, i'm more than sure that there are plenty of other mediums of interest out there in the big wide world.

Just occupy your self with one of them until release, jeez.


HEY MATT GIMME SIERRA JUAN JUAN 7 release date nao.

People naturally want confirmations and something to look for, not having something that looks like an endless production

Insecurities.

So did anyone catch the livestream?

What live stream?

Babes.net...........

We will be streaming again in about 10 minutes, twitch.tv/masterz1337

Yes I'm on it.

masterz stoped at

Bruh this stream is lagging something awful

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Stream was great hopefully you can sought the video lag for next time.

When I saw the textures and scenery meshes for the Pillar of Autumn mission:

I was never there. Perhaps it was your mom?
