what is this ICEE test? ODX asks me if he should post his work on youtube because I'm more experienced and I basically taught him how to animate. I also am his critic, when he needs help he comes to me, because we're friends. He doesn't need my permission, he just asks me to point out any major bugs before he posts it.

I got rid of it, happy? God you people whine so much. I think ICEE's a pretty damn good animator, so I normally go to him for crit. And now before Doan starts complaining that he's just as good, you weren't on most of the time I was doing the animations.

I got a question, can you make the right click look down the ironsight?

No, the smg will not use the down sight. As far as iv'e seen, that doesn't work very well in HCE.

LET ME JOIN

ಠ_ಠ

wow... just... wow

You don't even need to see it, its pretty damn good

It's not like Sheer doesn't know who Grunt is. Sheer has been here for a while. His old user name was killer9856

Preview of the sky for our next map.

im going to model sandbox now.

I like that sky, what map is it going to be used for?

Sky pictures.
Fracture's sky.

Another new one of Essence's sky.


Oh Roth, the sky will be used for the Covenant map.

you think you can make the bottom sky a bit lighter?

You wont see the gray bottom. And its light enough - the render in 3dsmax just made it look darker because of the Sphere's properties.

you think that the one thats lighter and foggy looks better? rofl

the second one is way too dark but atleast its not foggy looking

It looks better in game when its not as sharp and foggy. And thats too dark.

Not that I disagree with doing this, but shouldn't you try to finish other projects first? Or maybe making your own map? Custom maps are very rewarding.

See all my other projects are waiting for someone else to finish something.

I'm not even sure if you want my animations for Sandtrap, you used Hayabusa's AR and Shotgun, and my horrible sniper and rocket. It's a bit impolite when you don't like my near perfect replicas I show you, and say your love my other ones I gave you, then you don't use them.

Look im trying my best to get this done by myself. I takes a long time to get animations\sounds\tags ready and done, so for the tests I just try to get the important stuff working. then ill try to get the visuals done, so those weapons were just placeholders.

Alright I'll get finishing them up then. Need to finish the rocket and SMG (Unless you use Hayabusa's, I like his) and then I need to redo the shotgun also and get the laser. I also have to get the ODST SMG for Fracture in-game, or at least make it into an fp.model_animations and give it to someone else. First time I've been this busy doing stuff for people :V

Send it to Advancebo, he'll be tagging the Smg.

Ah, alright. I'll have him help me make it into an fp.model_animation then give it to him when he's on.

Disaster and me are arguing as to which sky is better.

^ No we weren't. Yours is far better. However, the top one fits the theme of the covy map more. Yours will be used on a Human map thats in progress atm.

I dont know whos is whos but i like the top one better.

Is that Earth in the distance?

Also capital ship from Halo 2 :V

Nope not earth. ANd yeah. Capital ship fit perfect in the sky :P

Want some actual 3D ships :V?

I think that will actually lower the quality of the map, in my opinion. Keep it as sky.

How will adding an actual 3d model of a capital ship into the sky model lower quality?

It depends on how many polies are in the ship compared to the map

There is no open beta for Fracture. Don't ask for one on this forum because you will not get it.

If you are planning to use on of the ships from Halo 2 with those less-than-mediocre skins, it just wouldn't blend in very well graphics wise with the rest of the map. You see a beautifully designed and textured map, and a big 'ol poorly textured cruiser. If the textures are more like Halo 3's, then that is another story.

Hey where exactly are you getting those skys? i want one for a background...

and i think the bottom is better
