Dis looks cool, but get a better pic.

Hmm, nice work so far. Can't wait for the finished result!

hes using Gmax

hes still doing good though

Hey hey. I started out in gmax. Don't talk crap about it.

im saying that, by using gmax, he can't get a better pic, since gmax doesn't render.

Then say that. Don't blame Gmax all together because it is missing one feature.

Who cares? It's free aint it? You get what you pay for.

only thing. I was thinking, do you have a better metal for the walls, I never much liked the standard flat metal texture

Model looks promising, however Im not quite sure about the large glass dome. It does give a strong potential setting for the player's environment, but it is pretty much just imposed, and forerunner architecture doesn't have any formal language that really supports a dome of that type. Look at the firing control rooms in all of the halo games thus far for some more tasteful inspiration. Other than that I like were you are going with this keep it up.

theres an add-on you can download that renders, its not great, but its better than nothing.

there's also Gmax render suite, but I can't find a download for it that still works.

Once you get used to it, I say Gmax is better than 3ds2010. Why you ask? Because everything double-faces itself in 2010 (or at least when I used it) and although that can be useful, it's a waste and probably demands more of the rendering engine. However, I'm sure there is something you can do to fix this, I find Gmax to be very useful once you figure it out. I think for modeling, it's probably one of the best bets you'll have without breaking the law, if not THE best. Yet, for animating and UV Unwrapping (never tried unwrapping), it's definitely a task.

it doesnt 2x face for me. and for modeling what about wings3d. poor program is pretty good. its a free prog too,...

errr
it's forerunner.. Ever played halo 1 mp? lol

wtf. Hang 'em high is a forerunner structure. DERP. thats why theres forerunner textures. DUH. not purple textures.

I think hes talking about the halo2 remake Tombstone lol

I'm actually liking this.

E: You should send someone the .max file so that they can render it for you.

^ thats the problem. gmax its basically incompatible with 3ds max. gmax's native file format is (surprise surprise) .gmax, which 3dsmax does not support. the only way you can transfer models from gmax into max is by 3rd party .obj exporters, which rarely work without errors.

the only native compatibility between the two is the option to import .3ds into gmax.

gmax haz no .max (lul)

Okay, I'll get it into sapien for some better pics. I wanna custom sky, though (not blue), so It won't look like the final lightwise.
The bungie HEH doesn't use this texture as the walls. I want to add batteries, balconies, and stuff to the walls, but I'll still have a better texture for them anyway. A brighter one.

EDIT: you guys want forecefield bridge or walk-bridges?
Edited by SlappyThePirate on Jun 4, 2010 at 01:35 PM

forcfield bridges sound nice. oh make the bullets bounce off the bridges.

This looks cool, especially for using gmax. Hell, it looks good for 3ds max, even.

a30 light bridge you mean.

also I think i got the sky for you :D ill take pics of it later
