Woah! I am extremely impressed. Great job!

nice job hunter! you gonna make one that will go into halo now instead of the UDK?

...I haven't done it yet?

Will make lowpoly later, just need to finish the highpoly up later. And another one for you to animate ODX :P

NICE, soon we will have a fullly animated (at least human) Reach weapon set!
Keep up the great work!

Is this epically awesome masterpiece going to be publicly available?

I suppose so :)

Why thank you.

This pwns all.
How do you people make stuff like this?
Damn.

I am not sure but it is amazing...

effort lol. anyone can do it if they put in effort and time to learn how to model.

that was fast.

Jesus! lots of triangles. Model looks awesome!

Done now I think. Will get some better renders tomorrow, but this should do for now (png sorry):

poly count asap.

can you give me the settings you use for your renders because all of mine turn out looking like a finger paintin by a 2 year old

http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?9328-Rendering-made-easy.-Now-with-more-Maya!

one of the best ways to show off renders (not necessarily hunter's). to make it look like hunter's, you'd probably need to apply a glossy material to the mesh then render with those settings.

default scanline renderer, clay render, 2 omnia's with default shadows on, render :)
oh, and a bit of glossiness of the material.

its something called a sub-divided model.
look it up.

Hunter I'd suggest moving the flashlight in a bit so it's just about touching the model, doesn't look so good at how far out you have it in my lovely opinion.

I did have it far in at first, but then it seemed pointless as the 'big block' part at the front would block 20% of the light :/

Edit: Added download to first post.

Danke.

Nothing compared to what Hunter could make...
Still need to finish the top and create/apply textures...oh and get it in game.

Hey anonymous I like your guns but isn't 3 million tries a bit much?

OMG, how many times. It's a highpoly model used to bake details into textures... so then people can use this to make game content properly like your meant to, you ain't meant to just make a lowpoly..

I know it's just... 3 million seems kinda high to me. I do like the model though. It has a lot of detail. I.E. the light bulb in the flashlight. As I have not played REACH (yet) I do not know if it is accurate.

How can a high poly model be too high poly... The idea is to be VERY detailed... there is not such thing as too high poly... And who care's if its bloody accurate Lol. As long as it looks similar it dunan really matter :/

Hunter, can you send me a version without the turbosmooths? I can't do it on my PC, too laggy and slow. So I can work on the low poly.

Antenna is messed up and its missing some detials...might make it final though cause I wanna get started on texturing.

Any thoughts?

WAY too many polys on the midsection. That area can be bumpmapped.
Same goes for the pipes, use smoothing groups and less detail.

Otherwise, looks good!

EDIT: Also, reduce the poly count on the radar thingy, and make that cylinder thing just 1 cylinder.

The bumpy bits which glow have WAY too many triangles. You should actually get rid of them completely. And no they can't be normal mapped in this engine, will have to be textured in.

This is the low poly version...only 11436 tris...
The other one isn't even half way done and has over 25000.

I thought everyone was gonna have problems with the antenna/radar, but I'll cut out the middle part if you guys don't like it...
Its 17 faces per bump...

I'll have two version in the final release then, to please the crowd.

Edit: It does have smoothing groups...it would look terrible with out them...

Lowpoly? It should be no more than 500 triangles for that object. That amount is ridiculous and will make people lag major, seriously. that object should be 500 triangles... all it needs to be,.

You don't even need all those tiny details. Most of them can be textured in, and most of them are so small that people won't care if they are gone.

It's not like people are going to be staring down the generator while aliens are kicking their asses just to see if the antennae is in the right spot.
