Do you have a skin that would look good on it?

I don't know of any off the top of my head, no. It might need to be unwrapped again (is that the right term for changing how the skin fits onto the model?) and fitted with something custom and Forerunner-ish. Maybe some energy fields in place of the open windows.

Alright. Yes that's the right term lol. Energy fields is a good idea, thanks. As for the texture I think I have a couple forerunner structure textures that I could experiment with, or do you think a shiny metal would look good?

Something akin to this aesthetic would be suitable. You might be able to pull it off using modified Forerunner structure textures.

Better or worse?

It looks very tiled at the moment. I don't think it'll look quite right unless you can find a way to fix that issue.

Yeah I know, I'm trying to find a way to fix the UVW's without editing it again in 3ds Max. Actually that might work I'm gonna try it lol. I'll post a pic if it works. :D

Edit: My idea worked using 3ds Max to re-do the UVW's :D

LODs yes, breakable parts no, and he can support boosting yes.

Objects have no gender in English. (Just to point that out).

help me make this thing not suck?

Well maybe if your wheels were circular and not heptagonal that would help.

Are you sculpting or going to sculpt that, because it looks like it has a bunch of unnecessary poly's. I can't really tell if it's just the shadow rendering quality or being able to see the unnecessary faces because of no to small amount of smoothing or what ever.

That's honestly my bad. When I was doing the render it was for the community I was making it for and I wanted it to look as good as possible.

What is sculpt?

3D sculpting? Kind of like molding or sculpting clay or what ever but on a computer. Usually sculpted models would be very high poly and then you would have to make a low poly model and bake the high poly to the low poly or some crap like that. If, you wanted use the model for stuff of course. I guess that's the best way I could explain it. You never heard of sculpting?

Why would you sculpt a hard surface model?

No clue. -_- That was why I was wondering what was with those unnecessary polys.

So basically soft selection?

Yes and no.

Look up Autodesk Mudbox and ZBrush. They are modeling programs made specifically for sculpting. Here's my favorite example: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Gallery-Finished-Artwork/Happy-Birthday-Nana/td-p/4290367

sexy ghost :B

A concept for the Kestrel that was supposed to appear in Halo 2. Would be awesome if someone recreated it for CE, since we don't have much in the way of UNSC aircraft.

link broken

When I saw this I was all :D you made this!?

Then I read the post :<

We already have a Kestral, don't we? A buggy-ass and frankly bad looking one, but still.

No. We just have a terrible excuse of a Kestrel. Not a real, good Kestrel. :3

Yeah, I didn't make this, it's a Bungie concept. We do have a Kestrel, but as you said, it's a bit buggy and doesn't look great (I'm also pretty sure that it's a heavily modified lifepod at heart, based on the canopy and the troop compartment). It'd be nice to have a better version.

Ooooo, I like that, im onit! aha

Hunter this is no time for jokes. The fates of hundreds of stock map mods lie in the balance.

Oh dear, in that case I don't think I can do it!
