I thought it was less, dunno where I got the number from before now I see it here...


Also, halo3noob requested some models from jericho for halo, so i'll be working on those when I got the nanosuit fixed, i already ripped it though



Ripped it from the demo, playing on minimum settings except the models at high (yea i made that screenshot) as i always get the textures on a different way
btw the scene in that screenshot was the most hard part of the demo, i died about 7 times o.O

Another game :V? Whats Jericho?

The models from Jericho were a request, google it if you want to know it, I'll save the models till later though

Just rigged alyx van from half life 2, don't know why, i'll apply the textures from fakefactory, the high def HD texture, and just... leave it in my tag folder untill i know what or anyone asks for it... lol
btw record set, rigged it in 30 seconds by just using the standard weights, that excludes the exporting to jms though, that took almost longer then rigging it lol







but anyways, back to the FP arms of the nanosuit, then fix the skin of the biped

Beachparty what was the last model that you actually made on your own?

Last month, when I made a new mountain terrain for Gmod 10.
I like using ripped models, and as much as you hate me, it actually doesn't matter when I modelled my own models, this nanosuit is ripped yes, and a few other models i've shown lately aswell, what's your point? Saying I rip? boo-hoo big deal

It does have one, but I'll get that from the FakeFactory pack, since they have HD textures,
I still have to decompile some data files to get to that though, so it'll take a short while.
Also got the Civil Protection biped out lol, they're interesting, aswell as the zombies... but I won't post those here, as I won't do anything with them I think, nanosuit first

I rigged the first person hands, but then I discovered, at the end, that the unwrap was removed due to changes I made during the rigging =/ So I'll have to rerig it as using the unwrap from the backup model won't apply to it for some reason.

Not a huge fan of ripping, but because it does take effort to rip them, convert them and optimize them for gameplay, ripping is just as much work as modeling.

It sure is work, and aslong as the credit as given, then we should be able to enjoy it like any other model. If people don't want Their stuff ripped, I respect that, nonetheless ripping not your stuff shouldn't be per-se seen as bad, I'm just converting good stuff to halo 1 Custom Edition, where people mostly have lower end specs, I would have moved on to Crysis itself with the halo mods for crysis warhead rather than staying here, but there's more here to do and there are more people here, plus, hey, it's halo, they're going to take over the world anyways (epic vid)
So, please, don't make this a childish E-fight, just download and talk about it if you like it, if you don't, move on to the next forum or come back when you uninstalled the game, or, just take a break and rethink why you're spending so much time at avoiding people getting stuff Into halo. I do this for fun, and my fun is machinima, if I have to do some work, allas, keep in mind that this is just a game and we're doing it for fun, if you want to get serious at halo, sign up for a job at bungie.

Anyways, i'm working on the rig again, but the verts are glitching, when i put the weight to zero they just pop to the old value when i do the next one o.O and i'm not doing anything wrong, I'll guess a reinstall would work, as my rendering are also messed up due to heavy modding 3ds max lol

But I havn't sat still, there will be a few Multiplayer maps soon as I want to get more feedback when it's ingame, it will have the crysis weapons too, wich I also got just yet, I just need to tag them and export the BSP I made that looks a bit like the first level of Crysis 1 (beach)
Eventually, It will bare the old title Halo Warhead, wich I planned on awhile back, but never seeing been made by me as I didn't got any support back then. Plus, I've been looking at nanosuit functions and messed alot in crysis itself, the suit powers are sorta possible, by making the suit menu into the pause menu wich is only possible for single player as it screws up multiplayer. In multiplayer there will be only the cloak function, by attaching it to the flashlight, or the overshield, whatever will seem better in the upcoming maps...
But hey, I should start a new topic about it rather than just blurting it out here, but I didn't really wanted to shout it out loud since I'm working on it on my own so it's going slow (meh, ask for people and get...) but anyways, new multiplayer skins for Red and blue:



red and blue made by Specter, I'm going to show it ingame when my models look presentable with their buggy rig... lol

The kind of ripping you do requires much less work them a actual modeler. Ever since I posted about 3d ripper dx you began ripping from a bunch of PC games. But the kinds of people in Zteam actually research how the engine works and figure out how to reverse engineer the game assets to get assets. That is real work. Pressing F12 at a frame you want isnt.

Lets face it: Who cares? Hes still bringing good models to the community.

(i shouldn't have said that...)

LOL ever since you posted a link to the site someone else made?
I'm ripping since 2 years ago, you really have to friggin check your facts as i released more models before >.>

You think everything is thanks to you? hell no, you are working against me, gtfo with your crap

and Zteam likes to do it their way, nothing wrong with that, but hell i'm not going to spend my time for such work as i do it for fun, you are taking the GAME too seriously, seriously, bug off, you're making me PISSED.

You win the award for smartest post about halo modding ever. Congratulations

Yet I don't rip from CMT maps, as I respect their work, All I'm doing is bringing models to the community, as I'm not in a "Team" nor do i want to be, that is working full time on that stuff, all i do is do it for fun, and i keep my limits, just enough to be fun for the community here

But, who cares what I do? lol noone does, except some n00bs, yes noobs not newbs, that DO care suddenly, because it's ME, hell yea that's the only reason, if HDoan or Warrior or whoever does it, noone cares, but heck, this is about models, who cares? Are you liking my nanosuit already or not?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Mar 3, 2009 at 04:29 PM

Define "my"

Okay, its ripped we get it doan. I think alot of us would like it if you refraned from fueling the fire and possibly getting this topic locked for good. (even though I think it should have been locked a long time ago)

I don't like the red at all. I only like the Gold >:|

If it was CTF, I wouldn't mind the Red and Blue, but Gold and Silver ftw

yay! I can now haz cookie?

Did i just lose the award?
Edited by Koo294 on Mar 4, 2009 at 12:51 PM

I don't get it. To me it looks like you guys are completely against ripping and anything that isn't hand made, even if it's amazing. If it was an amazing idea that would make everyone happy and it was just plain cool but it had rips in it, you all would immediately flame it.
And besides, which is more accurate: The actual thing, or a model that someone made of it?

Edit: Wrong Thread.. :(
Edited by iTails on Mar 4, 2009 at 08:38 PM

What does that have to do with bipeds :V?

o shi, wrong thread...

color coded responses
it was hand made. by the same guys who made crysis
and it is amazing, but guess what? we are not going to praise him, because as i stated in red, its from crysis. not him.
have you seen this happen? from what i have seen, if people are creative enough to come up with their own gameplay and strategy, they are usually capable of, or have connections with people who can make custom things for them.
logic: if someone is capable of coming up with good idea in halo means that it will work with the engine. if its work with the engine, the person who suggested it probably has a decent understanding of halo's capabilities, which means they probably know a thing or two about custom stuff. hence, they should be able to either make anything custom they want / need for themselves, or get somebody who can.

and guys, not trying to inflate myself here, but i kinda know alot about the engine. so does masters, The_Arbiter, hdoan, choking victim, CAD, and im sure there are alot more. you can PM me and arby any time and we will usually get back to you in a short amount of time. if you have questions, people can answer them. these forums DO have an intended purpose you know

edit: this did happen. remember that boarding action remake that somebody suggested? it was a LONG time ago. it was a good idea that wasnt totally possible with the engine, but nobody even cared about ripped stuff.
Edited by Donut on Mar 4, 2009 at 11:53 PM

The blue part, yes, USUALLY, and I do not have connections and noone is willing to help me, so I'm helping other projects and doing my own small projects. I do have a good understanding of the engine and of the limits, wich is enough for me to mod halo. I could have aswell modded crysis, as i'm a big fan of crysis itself too, but i didn't.
I'm bringing back my crysis project, and it's going bit by bit.
I'm not saying that I'm working right now on the big project, as you all will think it will just die out, and that is not true. Currently I've CONVERTED all weapons from crysis to halo, half of the units, 3 islands (BSP form) and 1 non functional jeep.
It's not much for some, but for me it's the perfect start of a good conversion project.
I do not want to be, or need to be, in a mapping team to be praised, as I do not claim this model or anything else, all i claim is my effort I take in converting it, and I'd like to share it with you all rather then keeping it an insiders thing.

Ripping, is such a small detaill, it means getting something out of something.
But, you all don't see the big picture, I'm converting stuff from other games to halo, I claim the Effort, not the stuff I've ripped, i've experienced enough to know what's wrong or right, and currently, this is perfectly legal.

If some people think it's something for lazy people, yea, too bad, for them.
The rest will still enjoy it, ripped content or not.

But what's the point of discussing it? Would a small forum with kids that are younger than me, be capable of changing my vision and control what I do or don't?

Plus, I see in blue, to find people who can make custom things FOR THEM, well, that is still ripped as it's someone else his stuff, morally not, but technically it is, so it doesn't make a difference. so the only thing is making custom content yourself, wich i don't see the point of when someone else did the exact same thing. end of discussion, I'm not changing my mind.

This would be so much easier if my dad was the concept artist, but he isn't, so yea, I cannot claim the model in any way, and i didn't. if you all want to bug me with the simple word "me" after i totally gave credit to crytek, then do so if you're childish enough to waste time for it.

I will not continue this useless discussion over and over again after this line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've redone the textures of the nanosuit, as the arms were far more detailled than the body, the reason is that the arms have the same size of bitmap as the whole body has, so i redid the body and legs in the resolution of 4098 x 2048 wich resulted in 5 mb bitmaps each.
This makes the whole suit even detailled, as the helmet was as detailled as the arms were at my first attempt already.





Also, I messed up my weight list when correcting the rig, so I'll have to rebone it, will do so later.

Well, I hope my post hasn't broken the bubble of imaginary power, but this is the internet, and halo is just a game, enjoy so while you can.
Well, that's it for my hour off, bbl

Did anyone even listen to me?

wut

Rofl, I was just scrolling through the page and that just popped out at me.

That actually wasn't funny...

Haha I know. It really wasn't that funny, its just one of those things that makes you laugh harder than you should for some reason, ya know? I'm assuming you actually got the joke I was making though.

Anyways..... whats this thread?

Lol reboning....it would be re-rigging, but anyway lol

I only fear that having large bitmaps like those will kill some pc´s (assuming the maps they will be in will be great)

The nanosuits look nice.

glad to see people STILL cannot take criticism

sigma went 2 months with no skinner. we posted some stuff asking for help, and got skinners. if your idea is good and your work appeals to people, they will help you.

yes lets IMMEDIATELY ignore what people have to say because they are younger. how old are you? the point in discussing ANYTHING to see other people's points of views. if you are unwilling to acknowledge another person's point of view, then you are no more mature than a child complaining about cookies


um.... so when my team, who makes animations and skins for the weapons i model, uses the collaborated tags in a map, we are ripping. yeeee- no.
main difference in what im saying and what your saying.
somebody makes something for you. that means that they wanted to do it for you, and thus consent to you using their stuff
ripping. you just opened somebody's map and pulled everything out of it, and are now using it.
but you obviously wont take anything i just said into consideration, so:

you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink

because nobody is capable of reading what i just typed except for that one guy, right?
Edited by Donut on Mar 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM

yeah!!! donut is a freaking genius


I got your back

I've ported over the Korean Nanosuit, the model has a lower poly count so if the US Nanosuit would cause lag, this one for sure wouldn't. Also the texture, is half the size of the US texture... so it looks less well as the US one when up close.





It's rigged, but my weights on the head and shoulders are still lousy.
The white one is the underlay for crysis's suit functions to recolour, like halo, just an underlay to colour and the overlay as partially transparent diffuse, but halo doesn't support that, so I just made 2 versions, the overlay and the underlay
