mind putting more detail in it? lol

or you might chamfer wich is a better idea.

Its called textures my friend. and... i don't know how to chamfer

*Sigh*Also it doesnt need to be textures.

You don't rely on textures. You have the model look nice before you have the textures and then you have the textures make the model look better. You don't make a box and add a picture of a gun. The engine can handle alot more than you think.

And to chamfer. You go into edible poly and oen of the tools is chamfer. It is alot better than beveling if you want to round an edge off. And it has alot of uses. I use it alot more than I ever bevel.

wait whats the triangle limit to the engine because then I know how many polys I can use detailing

Don't worry about it. It will be able to handle it. Don't be worrying about poly count. And next time you show a pic give a wireframe render.

It can be alot..The halo 1 weapons is around 2000 i think or so..But spending alot more would be worh it..

The Uzi i put into Halo was around 9000 triangles and it ran smoothly in the game.

Josh, no offense, but please stop using bevels in every piece of geometry you show us. It makes it look very not eye pleasing.

O_o Is that a lot?

It doesn't matter if you didn't use the tools, the geometry still has bevels in it. A bevel is when some thing is extruded and scaled inward or outward. You have lots of them through out your level and it makes it look very bad.

I was bored so I made a clay render of Aklass's weapons

Idk if I should've made the name thing

Looks kinda weird but I wanted to make sure people didn't think I made it

Wow man

He didn't say he made it he just said that he is modeling the level off that

Geez

I see someone else forgot to take their ritilan this morning...Calm down you will surive this. I promise.

What's ritilan? Some sort of medicine and/or anger management medicine?

Ritalin
It is, in my opinion, an over-prescribed drug for children who have not been taught sef-control or have an over abundance of sugar in their diets.

Alright, thanks, I think I might need some of that too O_o. Sorry for the off-topicness, but really, Joshflighter, why do you put 'H.3.M' on ever picture you show? Anyone could easily cut it off and claim it's there, or something.

Wow, I so agree. In middle school kids would be all wild and then use the excuse saying, "I have ADHD" and all that weird crap. I always told them that it is not an excuse and they would say, "I can't controll it!" but all those kids wanted was attentinon so ti definatly is overused. And this oen kid definatly needed a beating because his dad somehow wasnt there and his mom thought he was an angel...

Sorry, I'm not focusing well since I'm trying to finish my narrative still about how my day was stopped with delays and cancels at the airport, trying to get back home. Also, which tunnel? The one that has a sniper at the beginning of it, or the pipe, or something else.

Something Kiwi had shoved down his throat forn most of his life.

So how do you plan on having the first map with all the Halo 3 bipeds released this week or next week?

*ahem*

Normal mapping.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping

You can rely on bitmaps, to an extent.

Basically it is a displace map over NURBs (non-uniform ration B-splines)

It works similarly to a displace map, but can add a lot more detail in a smaller amount of triangles.

Example: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Normal_map_example.png

There is also parallax mapping, similar principle, but a lot better.

i think kid has to use ritilian

Dude, that is totally uncalled for. Why are you mentioning someone that si no where to be seen in this topic. There si nothing here about him. Why do you bother to bring him down. That makes you just as bad.

lol i donnu :/ he just always eems liek that when he around me

im guessing your kid :|
also btw the assult rifle i just noticed is leet

lul i never new what a displcemnt map was untill now and simulacrum thats a good find
Edited by Higuy on Feb 5, 2008 at 12:02 AM

parallax is used in halo 3 and the ce engine doesn't support it.
Im redoing the Ar by deleting the top area and remodeling it with more detail. While fixing the BR grip. BTW chamfering confuses me
Edited by aklass on Feb 5, 2008 at 05:55 AM

That is the question. I kinda need a buncha people to test it.

LOL!

Does it blend? That is the question

Dont give it to anyone please. It was kinda just a you and me kinda thing... and I dont want credit for some stuff I didnt even do "like the first grav lift, the one with the pink flame"

Why does everyone hate 12 year olds? Here's a smart post back, don't say something unless it's true, but that's just common sense.

Hmmm, this reminds me of H3T-Coagulation_PB2. Have you tried it with multiple people? Has everyone tried to host? What kind of internet do you have maybe.

napalm i dont even know how to put it on halomaps lmao or even do modeling or anything of the sort

thats y i am only a tester

Hey you spelt my name wrong! I don't care though

Now on topic: I am making the tunnel that he was talkin about and someone(can't say their name because they don't want me to) is making those towers (that Joshflighter had)

cool
