Ya i stretched your barrel. TRY AND STOP ME!


Also, the handle is foldable on donut/my smg, and it unfolds in the ready animation.


@advancebo: seriously, why even post that?

im bored

well don't take it out on the forum.

Here's a map I started yesterday, I'm hoping to have it in game for fall. It's a autumn forest/creek in the mountains between two human structures (an out post and an old burned out watchtower). It's a small map being design for mid to close combat.

The trees could use a bit more work, and the verts and stuff could be moved around a bit. But other than that I really love it.

If it is an area of vegetation then wouldn't it have more erosion and also if the map is based out of a giant hole in the ground there needs to be some more properties as if the map was once filled with water. Like have some cliffs that seem to dive downwards or have some underwater looking plants.

Looks good. I like the idea of the map but work on the terrain a little bit more.
:3

very interesting, i love those (trees?) coming out of the ground, they're very interesting. Don;t be afraid to use more polys on the terrain, looks great though <3

i would show you people a picture of my mk-walker (its a new verson of the mythos) its totally different model but it still walks. the only thing that is the mythoses is the legs. i riped em but i changed them a bit.
still i gotta give credit to the mythos because when mythril and i tagg this, were gonna use mythos as a backup. or u could say like a refrence. anyway il get mythril to put a pic on here soon so u all can c it... hopefully ul like it.

nice magazine :D

Yes they are trees, or at least will be, as for the map as a whole I've only been working on it for about 4 hours I work into highpoly not the other way around.



It's not a dried lake and it's more like a place where two mountains come together, right now I'm being cautious of how I'm making the area because I don't want to have to model a mountain vista to get the point of across, as to where players are. So in order to not have to do that I'm just creating cliffs, one thing I attempt to do when I'm modeling is put the playspace into the real world. There will be more erosion but I do realize that more polys can affect gameplay and I don't mean lag, I mean the more crevices a grenade or player can get caught in, the less fun the play space could be.

Thanks for the crits guys.

Ta.

Haven't started texturing it yet D=

Also, could I use mythos animations or do I need to make my own? (ouch)

kaos modelled it.

i see extrudes, and it looks to high poly

needs to be smoothed

needs custom animations for it to work

to much extrudes

I think it looks ugly.

XD

It's what, 5k polys? Not sure.

Smoothed, haven't done that yet, should I?

Damnit

I'll tell kaos that.

Who was that directed at?

once again, all i see is extrudes and booleans. and the mythos legs.

and 5k polys is to much

It's an armadillo with a gun on it's back. Wait.....Is this some kind of pokemon?

ITS PIKACHU WHO MADE A PIKA POO

Latest screenshot on my Box....

now add more hills

Nice. Now for ground textures?
Edited by DarkHalo003 on Sep 1, 2008 at 08:53 PM

No it doesn't need hills. Its the inside of a military compound. I think it should be concrete.

but there wont be much gameplay if its flat, at least since its a military compound, add obstacles for training

That Extrude and bevel really is auesome don't you think?

agreed, especially when used to the fullest extent and in the hands of an expert/intermediate

Yeah I still have something like 2 buildings to add but They're not ready...



Now for gameplay I'm puzzled. The map didn't start out with it in mind obviously due to the scale but I don't intend it to be some huge rigged Effed up Crappe so hmm.... I can't add hills inside that's for sure, Obstacles I probably will have to and most likely most will come from sapien...


What should I do outside of the base? Should I restrain the acces or should I keep on adding stuff just for the sake of it? I'm at 40 000 polies, 36 000 verts.... Every building has an interior and some actually use Halo SP BSP.

how did u get 40000 polygons?? whats the poly count for the ground?

the supposed concrete part would be 130 polies. Most of it comes from the details INSIDE the buildings.

wireframe? also i think i just noticed the chief at the bottom of the picture, near that rock thing

Either that or its a barrel Lol.

No it's a chief reference. There are 2 scorpions near the main gate too.


Here's wireframe render... doesn't show the inside details much obviously because of the scale

the towers dont need that much polys, also the antennas that stick into the air arent really needed,

also dont forget the pelican at the top of the pic

That's pretty big, where'd you get the insperation?
