Those wondering about the detail: I'm keeping it low primarily becuase you're not going to be scaling the thing like King Kong and being able to see all the details full view, at this point its planned just to be a distant model, giving atmosphere and showing you where the primary objective is in on one of the planned levels.

reminds me of the 1st structure in a30, when you first group up with the marines. and the blue beam comes shooting out.
Are you gonna have a blue beam shooting out?

*cough*

IDK I'm gonna model random Forerunner things for you since you don't need any structures anymore, maybe you'll find a use for it

The slope is wrong. The ring of intrusion at the top is not needed. The side extrudes are to large. And the intrude at the top is not needed.

The slope looks too steep to walk on.

the tops too high. move it down, and that'll lessen the ramps steepness too

Select the verts on the bottom and scale them out. Then your good.

Textures are regular halo 1 textures, placeholders

If thats based on the halo 3 scenery you can get on avalanche, I really recommend you don't get a stretched screenie. Go in game and look at it again.

Did he just completely ignore our criticism?

Yeah, hes wasting polys and I already see inaccurate parts.

I have no idea what it is lol, I wanted to model something forerunner, so I typed in "forerunner structure" in google and found that pic, it's the only reference I got or info what it is lol.

It by no means is done ofcourse, after I finish this model I'll be starting on custom lightmaps for the BSP's and a new retexture of the BSP since I'm not satisfied with it yet.

Lastly, I still need the intro scripts for STKFT so I can write a script for it

Retexturing a map (with new textures) takes up more tagspace. And Sapien lightmaps wont cut it.

I never bothered about the fact my tagspace would run out, it won't for me.

I'm not using sapien to make lightmaps, I don't know if anyone uses this app, but this thing is epic: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4312
It's easy to get used to when I first opened it, I've had it for awhile but never bothered about it, but I've reinstalled windows so I checked out all my old apps to see which ones I can get rid of. Basically it's like the BSP to OBJ converter which is easy to retexture a BSP live, but this thing does it for the Lightmaps, knowing that it wasn't all that hard for me to get into it. since I retexture maps that way, this is just the same.

Much better than Sapien, not to mention a helluva lot quicker since it takes ages for me to run lightmaps, my specs are incredible so it's not that. but that's not the point.

K I'm gonna hit the sack, ttyl guyzzzZZzz

Yeah, it's been used. I'm pretty sure Dee uses it for his lightmaps.

Also, that ramp looks a bit steep, though it might just be the angle.

To steep for Halo CE, Halo 3 has a higher max angle than Halo CE. Halo CE can only climb up at 45.

E1: Gonna fix the smoothing errors, and optimize later.

Learn your Forerunner, fix the errors, fix poly wastage, fix the UV's, and fix the smoothing.

Besides the parts at the bottom of the cylinder-like object. I'm assuming its pretty close to this:

And yah, should have said I was gonna fix the smoothing errors, and that parts still need to be optimised. My bad.

Lone remove your original picture now that i've pointed out the problems with it.

Then change the damn angle in the biped tag

Bo you always offer heavy critisism and negativity, but i don't see you telling them how to fix it.

wouldnt it be cool to have a health bar for both your arms? so if your arm takes too much damage, it falls off. but not together. just one. so u need 2 health bars for the arms and a central healthbar for the health. and if both the arms fall off, you lose. it adds to the difficulty of the camaign.
Edited by cybykillers on Aug 24, 2009 at 09:14 PM

It would also add to the difficulty of CREATING the level itself.

Are there going to be enemies that have shotguns? THAT would be fun to go against.

it was just an idea. i didnt ask you to actually do it.

Its not cool climbing up at 60 degrees.

So Halo 3 is "not cool" now? :\

:O
my internet is getting slow D:

That, just shut up before you make yourself look even worse placebo.

In other news, Reconnaire is probably not going to be online anymore so I'm not sure if this is of any use for that project... instead, it will do here

Basically, i dont know what it is from h3 and i dont care, so i gave it a bit of custom spin to it by adding 2 spotlights and making it snow themed in an exteriour wall

I'll be adding engravings n stuff later on maybe to make it look more interesting, as of now it features stock h1 textures
Edited by BeachParty clan on Aug 25, 2009 at 02:17 PM

Halo 3 was never "cool".

And I already see problems with that structure.

If you were a true modeler, you would easily see the errors.

if you werent a fag you would point it out, welcome to the real world.
