*coughs* look at cmts spartans back *coughs*

K, feel special. Anyone can attatch a weapon to the back of a spartan.

:P i got bored and I thought a random screenshot I would post today so I did that. and I made the weapon on its back pickup able so your guy can go up and take it

did you want something liek this:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2523

nope. thats for halo classic weapons. what I did is make a mark iii a ai attached a weapon to its back so I can pick it up. im working on perums to make cmt weapons like the backpack weapons.

...So essentially, yes, you are doing something like that...

but I cant find no perum tuts :[

Compile both models in the same models folder?

do I make the weapon float how I like it in 3ds?

my idea

1. import mark iii armor
2.import weapon model.
3. put it how I like it.
4. delete mark iii then export the weapon how it is with no nodes.
5.do steps 1 - 4 again
6. tool
7.edit cads scripts (or have gamma do it :P)
8.fame?

No.

In order to use CAD's scripts, you have to understand how CAD did it. For every weapon, CAD made a new permutation that was essentially just the biped, with the weapon attached to it. He exported all the permutations into one single model.

but will my way work? if I export each model to the same folder?

Why are you deleting the biped that you're attaching the weapon to? You'll morph into a floating weapon if it works properly.

Not necessarily.
If you put regions, where the cyborg biped is a separate region from the weapon, only the weapon's permutation will change. And the cyborg model will stay the same. Basically, it actually saves space, since your not re-exporting the cyborg model with every weapon.

the slight of hand thing is in the FP animations tag, I believe. If I recall, you can adjust the speed at which the animation plays, and therefore speed up or slow down anything. however, it means that anyone who picks up that weapon will receive the same speed boost, so it wont play out like the perks system does.

Not to be a whore, but I'd like to mention that the contest this was made for is open to all of you here if you want to enter it... >_>

Just some really minor tweaks since last time, though I think it's more or less finished.

Earth? Near my Halo!?!



Thanks to NASA for the Earth.

Bitmap is 2048x2048.

Didn't know that; I did it based on scripts ._.

why the hell would you need a 2048x2048 res bitmap for that.

make it like 1024x1024 or something.

More like 256x at most.

Bo that's not even a 'work in progress.'

That's just you taking the new image of Earth that NASA released, sizing it down a few, and pasting it onto a simple Halo skybox without even editing the lighting or anything of it, so it looks effing weird.

Just get out, I'm sick of this crap, there's nothing to say other than you didn't really give much effort into what you've done and you aren't getting anywhere because of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! he even put it in backwards! OMFG look!

now compare.

XD

Maybe he likes Mass Effect?

I really love the irony in this post. I love how your avatar qoute says "For fun, not fame!", didn't you realize that Bo has probably been doing the same thing?

Get out.

In Advancehalo, I live on the west coast

I don't see the 'fun' part in taking an already-made image, pasting it into a Halo sky, and then posting it for 'critique' in a Work in Progress thread. If it were for 'fun,' you wouldn't need to be asking for help and opinions, as you should only need yours since it's just for your own entertainment (unless stated/shown otherwise) and not personal gain in whatever skill it is you're working at.

It all boils down to the fact that he has a WIP, and this is the WIP thread. Post critique or something useful, or stfu. Seriously, its a simple concept.

I don't find it all that appealing to have earth next to the halo, but whatever, its still something he put work into, even if it wasn't very hard to do.

Well it doesn't look like he even tried anything, I know he's better than this and would've at least tried to edit the lighting to make it fit in.

Don't get me wrong Bo, it actually seems like a neat idea but you need to put a little more effort into things before you post them. And make sure that when it's finished, you don't post it here, you make a [Release] thread for it.

First one looks really cool.

Well thats funny, because that is the only one i altered. The rest are Genetica presets.

Lies.
I tried compiling a 2048x2048 with 32 bit color.

Resulting tag size was 22 megabytes.

Very unnecessary to compile it at 32-bit color. 2048x2048 is not even needed.

derp derp derp even a 512x512 (or even a 256x256) will do with 32-bit. It isn't even that high-res from the screenshot.

Do it right next time.
