You won't get it to walk right. We tried with the Shades.

It would walk okay on flat ground, like the scarab on extinction, but not on slopes.

Do you need it to walk on walls/slopes without it looking really bad?

I dont think that huge thing can actually walk on walls :\

It can, well at least I saw it do that in a video. Walked up the side of a building.

A Locust, Shade, or Scarab?

Locust.

I've never seen a Locust climb walls...

It just won't look good. Go renable the shade turret walking, you'll see what i mean.

I tried that, I kept flipping the thing.

I've made a hog that climbs nearly 90 degrees. Low center of gravity (heavy wheels), ground normal k0 & k1=1 so it doesn't slow at all on slopes, and a low enough friction that it doesn't do a wheelie while climbing.
As for un-even surfaces, suspension can help with that.

Done ripping halo 2 flood, wasn't needed but i came across that when re-playing halo 2 (yuk, damn save data)

Also, you all commented about the head being too high, yes it's logical since the methan tank would increase in size, not the body, so i took that in consideration
any suggestions other then putting it back to the original place...?

When I see human flood forms in h2, I'll be sure to tell you =P



Also, the elite flood have armor at random, makes me think they use the armor parts as permutations to make them appear randomly, one has this fallen off other has that... so if i make them seperate models, I can make it look more 'unique', wich gives a less boring look

-------------------------------Line because people are too lazy to bump it for me----------------------------------



Aight, I finally got them, and I textured it aswell as you can see. So, what's our next big step?

O.o what's this?


Gonna restart it. I just found a better ref. From a side view :l Mine was at an angle I think..

Flood infection form?

O.o You my sir get a cookie.

can you write a tutorial on that? i want to make something similar to that.

Use Entity.

He is if I'm not mistaken.

Also, since when was the elite form that thin.


BP, when you see this, get online, we need to talk about getting the human form in-game.

Well he said he had to play through Halo 2 to get the models, so I was implying that he might have used 3dRipperDX. Since if you extract with 3DRDX, they extract in the position they are in at the moment of capture. If he would have extracted using Entity, they wouldnt have been rigged and in that position. Unless he already rigged them and took the time to put them in that position.

Looks like I'm mistaken then lol. Meh, I'm not entirely sure, I'll ask him when he gets online though.

retarded?

Halo 2 Flood, dont like it? Go blaim Bungie.

Does anyone have any crit that can 'help' BP make the carrier form look better, or are you all just gonna say its ugly?

SMOOTH NAO PLZ KTHNXBAI

Well, being flamed from all sides I'm going to say it once again

I like to do it my way, and I prefer Dxripper, don't point out it's bad or to use another tool, if you suck with it, that's too bad.

I take several shots, some in ragdoll, wich is sometimes handier for me to rig, period.

Don't start this useless discussion to spam a dozen pages about it, This way for Me Not another.

Also, I ripped the heretics, as some variants would be nice, I'm not pushing it, but since they're the same units, maybe put it in for the variation?

also, i found... no i edited... a heretic grunt to make one maskless, as i would never get something from here, I rendered my own without mask.



Also, sorry for the previous render of the h2 flood elite/human, those were ripped at low quality, thus the low poly count... I got the high quality versions but yet have to render it



Also, what do you guys think about my permutation method for armor variation for the flood?
Edited by BeachParty clan on Mar 8, 2009 at 02:56 PM

When you've got the model in-game, go to the gbx model and model animations file, and check randomly chosen in the permutations section, this way you'll have a great variation of flood units.

Yea well the question was if i should continue on doing it, i already knew how, but i guess that's a green light

Yep giving them random perm's makes it more Flood like.

Makes it seem like not all flood removed all their clothes.

Omg naked fl00d

U perv thinking abouth naked infection forms n stuff omg

Wow, Immaturity at its best..

Aint that true.........

Ah well somtimes i just have to do such things ^^


Ontopic;
The H2 Flood looks sweet, but isnt the elite a bit thin? Because i dont remember thin combat forms in H2...

The elite and human form are low poly models.

Hmm that Explains alot...

Are there any plans for any new videos/playable content? or even a date of release?

Because you know, im a huge fan of the flood, especially im fascinated with the infect-expand-infect-expand Idea of the flood, wich you are managing in this campaign.

You also mentioned that you are going to give us the information to do such scripts, but are those scripts easy to implement?

I mean, is it just Copy paste the script from a seperate document or really alot of knowledge of scripting..?
