Well right when they released it I was amazed and interested in this new grenade. So I modeled it and hope to get it ingame.
For the people who aren't as updated as some can go to this link and find out what I'm talking about. http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade
So now that your eyes have been sweetened with sugar I'm going to add on to that sweetness with some more eye candy.





There it is.. and I'm looking for plenty of critizism.
I'm also looking for help to texture this bad boy.

Thankyou for looking at my work.

Pretty good.

nice!!! do you have animations for it yet? btw that drawing makes it look like an antz kicking rocket if you manage to make it look and funtion as shown on your link then lets see what that thing can do (what kind of map do you suppose it will be placed in?)

Switchblade, it doesnt need anims, nade throwing anims are in the biped.

I think you can logically guess where the edges are. It's just an extruded cylinder.
Oh and about the model:
It's an orignally simple design, so it's not a huge challenge but it's not bad.

thankyou I finished putting all the appropriate smoothings on and right now fatso is workin on making texures. I'll keep everyone updated... and Ganon just for you ill get a pic of the wireframe and ill tell you how many polies.

this was already done years ago. I think the map was called dojo_final or something.

I beleive that was a flare grenade that blinded people, this is a napalm/molotov type grenade, it burns.
^ Thats in reply to Masters.

To Jinto:

Just because theres a transport hog in H3, doesn't mean it was first made for it....


From the dojo final readme:

Lens_Grenade (very nice grenade, use at your own risk. this can be helpful if u see someone in a distance about to run you over with their fast vehicle) - this emmits a power lens flare that can make it impossible to see passed making it good for hiding in a short period of time or use it to escape. when this detonates, it has a wide range of explosion. throw this at far distances only...

I already posted that he was wrong, it is a similar type of grenade, I think Masters was confused as to its purpose.

Jinto, I don't know if you've ever played dojo, judging from your post I beleive you haven't, but I have, and they don't look similar. Like I said to ganon, I believe Masters was confused as to the purpose of the grenade. No offense to Masters though, we all screw up....

Anyone who feels like downloading it, heres a link. Its not that bad of a map....

To start my post off I would like to show everyone this. (Maybe more people will be interested)


There you go Ganon.

Well the reason I am back with this grenade is because I want to finish it and finally have it completed. One thing I would like to say is these tags will be released publicly so if you help it won't be going to a waste at all.

my xfire is

Edit: Sry Dennis if that is too big. Just tell me and ill take it off.

Yea Thats what I thought the one day that's why I asked you. But I was thinking maybe it could be used as a weapon sortove or maybe i could make it so you can only hold one and there is only one spawn of it on a map.

Ganon, are you kidding? 448 faces is not that many.

its a grenade though, idk how many faces are too much for grenades though. but its not your average round grenade. its got more detail. thats why its in halo 3.

I think it looks fine that way it is. 448 faces is nothing practically. and if he optimizes it to reduces it to that, it will have horrible smoothing issues.

I got it to be at 444 faces.. thats as low as ur gonna get it without looking like crap. Unless anyone else has a better idea?

OK that works

This looks cool. Very nice. Good job. All that other stuff.

Make sure the the flames come out in an explosion (and stick to anything in the area).

its to highpolly for being a simple nade.

ok here is an udate on the grenade.



I want to give thanks to fatso784 for the original starting textures he has given me.

So tell me what you think and should be changed on the textures. Im going for a very close idntical to bungie.

That is pretty good... Just make sure you make a multipurpose map and make it glow a bit on the orange and red parts....

And for the poly count, don't worry about it. Its not like you're going to throw it and it exception because theres so many polies... I'd be more worried about the flames causeing lag/exception...

Nice job so far.

How is this coming along??

Lol. I shall now call SuperSniper "MegaBumper".

Oh and you thought this was a big bump eh? Think again.

He keeps bumping old topics.
