Actually, I disagree. When I learned to model BSPs, I found it hard at first, but I became much better by trying to replicate snowbound and even remake some of the classic bsps. I'm much better now, and I can model custom bsps when I want to, utilizing the developed experience. Learning through example teaches many things... not just in Halo stuff, but in many skills.
If one wanted to learn and practice through custom stuff/experimentation, that's ok too, but it would probably take longer.

hahahahahahahaha.... new doesn't quite fit me at this point, i know what i'm doing, i'm just not particularly confident enough in my skills to start making original content. And in what freaking way am i unwilling to learn? I actually find it insulting that you are trying to force ME to do something that i don't WANT do DO. now seriously, stop being a douche, i must quote hunter here, seeing as this suites me perfectly atm, Yeah, i did add on there to the end, get over it.

jesus man, people are allowed to make whatever they want! get over it!

here you go hunter, any specific angles you would like?

You could get rid most of those faces on the glass of the hatch, its really not needed.

And the amount of sides the cylinder has, the one where the 3 rotors meet, could be lowered greatly, maybe 8 sided cylinders.

It's still doing some funky stuff in some spots with that wireframe eh?

yeah :(. @Advance, i do realize that, but i haven't optimized it yet, like at all, im not sure how they got there in first place actually.

Yeah, you seriously need to get less polies on the windscreen.

Looks okay, but like Bo said, you have edges on the cockpit that are not needed. In fact, id recommend remodelling that section. You still have triangles there which chamfer makes, you have about 6 or so edges which are not needed on the glass area.

overall it looks okay as you have the basic shape but loads of edges can go, if they are not defining the shape or any smoothing to the model then they are not needed. And when I say shape I mean shape as in visual shape that can be seen when wireframe is turned off.
In areas there might be an edge which is defining a very small bit of the shape but if there is another edge near it that can be moved slightly to make that shape as well then just remove one and adapt another edge.

Also, you don't need the ENTIRE edge, for example if you have an edge loop on a box going around it in the middle, and the bottom edge on one of the faces is pulled towards the centre of the box to create a chamfer type effect on the face, the rest of the edge on the opposite face can be simply welded to the bottom edge of the box as it isn't doing anything. If you don't understand that explanation then tell me and I can make an example.

yay! Crit :D
I also haz rendarz 4 pplz

If the geometry adds to the silhouette to the object then it does contribute to its shape.

This does, but could be more exaggerated.

that vertex does yes but the others may not, hence the reason I only highlighted them.

ok sorry I'm not noob English patient in post in English what I'm getting is that the google translator mistranslated us we Mexicans and I want to support a little bit now on my posts so as not to cause conflicts down will put you in google translator translated

I fully understand that the translator does not do a good job of translating the full meaning. However this forum's primary language is English and all posts must be in English. I want this forum to be helpful for people of any language and I know that there will be misunderstandings that is why I suggested that when or if you use the Google translator you indicate in your post that you have used it so that people will know there might be something wrong with the translation.

I also encourage and ask that everyone take into account that the full meaning may be lost with someone uses translator software to post in the forum. In other words read the forum posting guidelines about (not) correcting other peoples grammar or punctuation.

If you use the view in different language if you post in the language your viewing in will it be switched into English for us?

Seeming as the translator is doing such a poor job I question his ability to type his own language properly, I.E if he uses correct grammar.

just so everyone knows, if you type somthing up in MS word 2007 and tell it to translate it, it does a wayyyyy better job than google does.. at least with english to french and english to spanish it does..

also, those light and dark blue highlighted verticies are defining the shape and should not be welded. they should have the same or very close x and y values but below them it slants in

Even if that is so, I highlighted them to use as an example as well so that he can do that with other parts of the model where he has verts that are not defining any shape... and that is up to the model creator to say as not ALL of them might be defining shape.

Whoa! *Head Explodes*

Progress! Btw does anyone know how to get rid of incredibly annoying little flaps of "web" that sometimes shows up?

Perhaps it's because of the ploys. I don't know exactly what you mean, but take a look at these web pieces in editable-mesh's faces (not polygons) and in editable-poly's retriangulate under polygons.

E: thanks for the help, I managed to get rid of the disheartening little webs.

woops, dropped something ;)

Cool... What is it? Whatever it is it looks pretty cool.

That's possibly my favorite weapon in the game. 3sk!

Wait, so it's Halo 1's pistol except not hitscan and explosive?

no, god no don't ever compare that thing to the pistol

FP position?

let me finish it first, I would finish it today but have got Uni deadlines coming up Friday

its direct hits to kill an enemy, it works better when you hit them directly, rather than hitting near them.
but the projectiles are pretty slow, the concussion rifle is only useful at close range, or flipping vehicles.

Funny thing is I aint used this weapon as it wasn't on the beta. Tomorrow is my birthday so i should have it then :P

9th dec ftw haha
