it could work in you fill it in with crates and vehicles in a proper way it has good game play you know

but idk how many poly's you have left to put in the map
or if it will lag a lot if you would

SUPA PORTALS TO THE RESCUE

Reminds me of halo wars, also you could add some missile silo's and other things to vary the height in me middle, and various things to add cover. looks really cool, just big, that probably wont, make for very good gameplay.

Dhark's making me a silo model( actually several small, tactical missile silos) and the HQ will will the remaining area. Now the pelican there takes 3500 polies and each tank takes 1600. Anyway, Crates and such will be required.. should they come from Sapien or 3ds..? 3ds would probably will be best but that's one hell of a task to make right from there.

Also yeah, alot of people say it looks like Halowars but again I did not base myself from it... the buildings all share a similar design that I could best describe as this shape:

That looks nice keep it up . I hope to see it in game soon.

The arm goes forwards to much when hes pushing the chamber nob.

DEEhunter on the video with the flaming recon helmet if you made that did you use fumeFX if so what version the $500 or the $1,500?

FumeFX and I got mines for 320 a while back at a XNA expo.

Don't ask me why all the related videos are Pokemon.

reload looks very robotic and unnatural there veex.

If you want it, pm me your xfire, onotix

And thanks, Clad. But, from my standpoint, this has actually provided me a good experience to animating better. I say that because I started a new reload animation that doesn't throw the clip, and it seems SO much better than any of my old animations.

Oh ok i want FumeFX sooooo bad but eh what the heck you know you got it for free(sounds legal)
and now its what did i say 1,500 dollars

(NOTE: THE ORIGINAL WIP TOPIC IS BACK, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY POST OVER THERE NOW)

ICEE, i actually quite liked veex's animations, it doesn't have to be smooth like the typical animations right? I mean look at say...bioshock, the weapon animations, like veex's are very purposeful, even if robotic. It gives a more characterised (or strong) feel to it. IMO I like it, of course everyone is entitled to an opinion, this is just my own.

bioshocks are smooth. this is not. i get myself killed because i sit there and look at animations while fighting. "oh hey does the hammer actually go forward when you fire the revolver?" "shotgun + fast shooting powerup = not so good looking firing animation" "omfg the take out animation for the grenade launcher, the grenades jump in the side holder"

that logic creates bad animators.


Veex, if you want any tips or crit in the future feel free to ask me. You can ask doan or cls grunt or hayabusa, my thorough criticism boarderlines on essay length :P

you have been playing bioshock lately huh? cause thats what your last 2 posts had in them XD.... i would want to play BioShock if i get the chance

but about the animations:

lol thats like the first time i played Halo 3... the physics were awesome (in my OPINION).... i would literally launch anything launch-able off of that launcher in vahalla

* 2 ppl standing in the middle of vahalla...

"..."
*mongoose flies by*
"HOLY... DID YOU SEE THAT?"
"what?"
*ghost flies by*
"THAT"
"oh..... WTF!?"
*hog splatters one of the ppl*
"oh ****..."
*spike gernade lands near the other person*
"you've gotta be kidding me...."

you get the point

seriously, bioshock with the DLC on the 360 on hard mode + vitachambers disabled
brass balls ftw

whats with the block on top?

IT'S THE PO-PO! RUN!

Bioshock is awesome. I hope my dog didn't get it too bad...crap.

well look, I didn't personally play bioshock, more often than not I was watching from my bros screen whos a lil bit across the room, so I could be wrong but I still like what I saw. Mind you more than anything I was referring to the shotgun (without speed upgrade but with a damage upgrade) and some animations concerning the lightning plasmid

Argg guys little error with my base thing. I wanted to get it through tool to see eventual errors... I t finds 320 degenerated triangles(LOL) and then stops there:

I never encountered that error before... Help?

bingo.

Is it possible to have more than one reload animation? Or does Halo not support that?

So far it's only possible to have two. A reload for the clip not being empty, and a reload for when the clip is empty. I don't know why you want multiple reloads, I don't think any games have that anyway.

I just thought it would be cool since when you actually reload a gun you don't do it the same all the time.

It's just how games work. Also it's implemented into Spartans' brains to reload the same each time, unless the clip is empty.

El Nino... I am too lazy to open character map to get the n with the thing on it, and I am eating cheese puffs :D...

Halo 3 does. I'm nto sure about halo 2 but it might have. I'm sure there are plenty other games that have multiple animations.

Cod4, has different animations.

u guys do know we got the semi official topic back right?

we still wanna talk in this topic :P
