nice.

Forge World best Reach map. Would be great to see it in CE.

That looks great. Will it be for OS?

does your forge world have lots of booty dlc?

Not many people here will get that reference.

kinda sorta like frosty... i thought you left?

Does anyone know anything about fog planes?

I made a fog plane at the same level as the water for the Forge world (like in Death Island) but the fog plane also extends to everything on its level, which is also where the Hemorrhage bases are located. I know I can remove the fog plane visibility from specific clusters, but it makes ALL fog planes disappear when inside that cluster, which means that if you stand near the base (where there should be no fog\water) then all the fog of the ocean will disappear.

On the bottom of this image is where you can see part of the water that is on the level itself (like a small lake), but it shouldn't be there. I only extended the water plane to it because otherwise it looked like it just had green fog floating over it, so I decided it'd look better as a (unwanted) lake.

Theres no fix for this besides physically moving the bsp in areas. (I'd move the water downards personally instead of the bsp up)

The only thing you can do is clusters but like you said that'd remove the fog entirely while you're in that cluster. Clearing Ground can pull this off because you don't go under the fog plane until you can't see the water.

10k polygon thanks to SS flanker.

Going to start working on the animation,rigging and stuff.

Nice texturing.

ty. And this is how big is going to be once you go near it.

wtf? they look similar

Its almost like thats what he was trying to make

I was hoping you could provide a banana for proper scale.

Yeh i knew that i think its the skin colour looks the same.

You need to learn how to pick up internet sarcasm. To be fair, it is much more difficult than picking up aural sarcasm.

So, my final year at University, got to practice my chosen field (3D Artist) and create something to practice and show I can do the work in that field. So, my project is to create a Photo-real animal, or creature.

Of course, my lecturer has suggested that instead of straight up copy a design I should adapt it or add on to it. The design i'm going to make is also very dated and needs to be made a bit more modern and to todays standards of detail.

This is what i'm going to create:


Of course like I said I must upgrade it and make it more modern as the art is old and outdated. Any of you guys have an suggestions of what you would like to see done to it? So any new features it could include?

For example scales or other different skin types, or different leg shape, ect...

1/10 dusnt luk cuvanent or anything like haalo. butt it looks shinie so it does get 1 point

You should make it like this

Keep in mind the history and environmental influences on the creature to go well together.
As for cool stuff to do to it, a short tail may work well with this creature, along with the spines perhaps have skin covering them for temperature regulation or more smaller ones about half the size along the side of the spinal center, or perhaps the spines be shorter and included as plating, for defense from predators.
A different shape of the head may be of particular interest as well. What comes to mind for me is the creatures from Pacific Rim for inspiration.

Yeah was thinking it needs a tail, I will use some of the creatures from Pacific Rim as inspiration for some of it's details, going to look at dinosaurs as well as this creature pretty much is a dinosaur.

Only got to make a highpoly version of it for the university project it's self. But at some point I would like to model some Halo Concept Art that didn't make it in-game and get it created with a lowpoly ect... so when Uni is done I can make a lowpoly and release.

I'd suggest implementing a different head anatomy. It always bugged me how it was so small relative to it's large mass. With a jaw that size... it'd have to spend a while feeding.

Oh sweet, your going to create one aswell but different?


But anways I going to start rigging the thorn beast tommorrow and once I finish up with the animations I will add normal maps so that you can see muscle and detail on him. And then maybe I can support your creature like animation, rigging and texturing.

Hunter making a thorn beast
[Hype Intensifies]

Pff it seems your not even trying. It's garbage like this which makes me wonder why you people are still sucking air.

Take a look at this and cry because it's 50000x better than your's

You did get my pm right?

Pretty nice Matthew !

Starting a new project with Dalek. That's what we have done now.

Semi-Official Gallery [WIPS]

We just finished the base map. Now we'll add the rest.

Wow. 10/10 Usually highly reflective "chromish" surfaces are a turn off for me but the balance seemed right.

WIP Crit usually makes WIPs into WIF's.


Works in Final

Now that's a real critic, and not a simple "Cliffs are to flat". Anyway thank you for it !

I don't use the same methode, because I like the old school of halo, but your is pretty good.





I will add structures after fixing all the model.
