It would be easier as animated scenery, but we couldn't show the inside easily. However, if we also put a piece on the ground, we could switch to that view as well. If we made it a vehicle, that would require a whole lot more work than a simple piece of scenery.

So when did we decide to put HEV's into the campaign? Im just wondering im not saying we dont need them or i dont want them i am just wondering who brought up the idea of HEV's?

thats exactly what i suggested in the first place.

i have a working HEV vehicle that could work. it sits in place and you can look out and it cant move. just place it on the ground and then simulate the drop

No. You wrote the idea on the first page. That's what I meant.

(bump) So how far do you guys think we are?

Um you guys missed my vid right?

Still tweaking it :)

It's an animated scenery.

nicenice

Big explosion.

pretty sweet but i dont really think we need to do all of that all i think we need ot do is simulate the drop pod free falling all we really need to do is have the camera shake while i throw in some sounds of the drop pod sounding like it is freefalling and boom there is the cutscene

i thaught, might be hard tho, make the drop pod fall as fast as a mc, then, make u and the pod start same places, and then it falls with u in it, idn might not work, but its not a bad idea :)

It would be easier with the simulator. We should stick to that, and use the animated scenery for the cutscene of the HEV pods dropping.

Heres some renders:
streetlight:





Stoplight:



gimme some crit :)

:( they dont go with the city, make them mombacy

Kind of like the ones in headlong

The streetlight doesn't have a light :O

that will be added in with a .light file attached to a #light marker :P

Like, no place for the light to logically come out. Looks like a pole that has a glowy tip :)

What city is this taking place in?

k ill put that in


i really dont know. nobody ever decided on a place

PSSSST: I LIKE REACH

Those are old age. The city of Mombassa in Halo uses different shaped stoplights and streetlights.

Fine ill try to get you some refs. Or you could just download some maps with street lights in them so you can get refs by doing that though

Give it the grenade explosion.

defult grenade explosion sucks

I dun have default grenade explosion :O It's edited away.

(bump) LIKE I SAID WOULDNT IT BE EASIER TO JUST SIMULATE THE DROP? lol sorry but i had to do that because its sounding like no one is listening. lol

Er...





Whut?

And how is that a bump?

All you would need to do is make it animated scenery.
Use the cutscene camera to follow the HEV as though you were inside of it.
You should be able to understand the rest.

Have it take place at Old Mombasa.

But we don't need animated scenery, if we just make a normal scenery piece, stick it on the ground, stick you in it, and leave it in first person. Shake the camera around, play sounds, whatever. If you wanted a 3rd person cutscene, then, yes, the animated scenery would work best.

Thats why we are doing it in first person lol

I'd prefer a mixture of the two, like you start off 3P and it goes into FP or vice versa.
