that assault rifle model is just horrible. im sorry.

but seriously, use gimp for your tracing. gimp blurs the lines when you draw so you dont get those hard pixels. its makes your drawings much nicer. GIMP is free btw incase you have never heard of it

Sorry for the assault rifle. It might have ruined the hud more.

I could download gimp but maybe I don't have the time. ><

Plus I'm completely new to Halo map making. I haven't even activated the blitzkrieg (I have the Max5 one. I can't even find the versions above it. You could help me by suggesting places). :(

dooooooont even ask. we dont condone that around here. dont ask, dont tell.

but if youre going to do HUD work, it is absolutely necessary to download gimp, and it is necessary to have some free time

i was bored n i saw wep icons n soo i did sum myself,

make sure you add at least one pixel of black surrounding the icon. just to be safe.
E: im talking about your sniper. they look good, just make sure the game knows whats going on

i know what ur talking about, ill get the butt of the snipe fixed l8er =P

My last AR icon I'm going to do.

whoa-ho-ho!
man thats alot of deatail, but you cant have enough detail! until the game stuffs up... lol

Yeah, that took me a while :( Now for the other weapons lol.

You forgot to clear out the handle, durp.

xD Can't believe I forgot about that! I guess that's not the last AR icon I'll do then :)

i urge you all to look up the "ink and paint" shader in 3ds max. it may make your lives better.

I didn't use 3ds max...

Ink and paint is epic win.

i know you didnt. im suggested you google the ink and paint shader. see what it does. you might like it

Here's a shotgun I made using a render of mine:



Colours are probably wrong though. Lol.

whoa thats great. must be the biggest icons i've ever seen lol, if that aint gonna look crisp ingame-
but yea, more accurate than this it cannot be. just have to put it into perspective and tag it.
i would but, i always do those things in a mass production for all icons at once so they dont differ in between.

Its not accurate, its a custom shotgun model Hunter made. Which has a couple of differences.

Why do you bum accuracy? Any post I see it says something about it not being accurate. Just pointing it out.

I like the way the edges came out. Most people make really thick edges, and that irks me. Nice work. Now render some H3 models, but use a black backround next time.

Hey BP how do you add a night vision on the visor? I've been trying to get it to work for 2 days non stop and barely get enough sleep :( please help...

Whoah.

I think he scripted it :o

yup I though you knew cause I told you about it and I've been on xfire since I got back in town to 3-5 am and and alot longer in Saturday and Sunday...

<3 red flashy thing (kudos to jesse)

its too small.

That's what she said
/jokes

I'll probably scale it larger later. Right now, I like it the way it is C:

Outline seems too transparent, I can only tell that it's there by the red flashy thing.

Made the rocket interface.

Rocket launcher and rockets are backwards.
Unless you want that way but it looks weird to me...
Edited by Bloody Jabs on Nov 1, 2009 at 05:13 PM

Only the rockets are backwards.

Overlay should face towards the shield.

oscrud he's right they're backwards.

One that I'm about to work on...
I darkened it up and sharpened it so you can see it better.
The left side got cut off when I scanned it... I don't know what happened but the grenades should be there...

The visor and weapon icon colors will be light green to green, alerts (low ammo, low shields) should be light orange, health symbol is red, and the shield metre will range from light green to dark orange.

I spy with my little eye a water colour of 'Bloody Jabs'.

I understand your HUD concept , but it seems to obscure vision too much.
