Not all jackals have had beaks, and we don't like beaks.

Wait what

dano's a furry

yes typo's DO exist, I know you thought they were just a myth but now you can see that humans CAN make human mistakes! Now I'm off to prove bigfoot exists

also when can we see that jackal ingame?
Edited by Delicon20 on Nov 6, 2011 at 02:50 PM

you're both wrong. style's changed from game to game, there's no "right way" to do the eyes. 2 and reach had slits, 1 and 3 did not

I only remember skirmishers having eye slits in reach :/

faint but it's there

oh also fun fact, in reach they had eyelids

debating what's artistically accurate in a series that's been constantly inconsistent makes people a bunch of silly faces

just played reach to check, it's actually more like a human eye pupil wise because it's more of a ball not a slit

either way, inconsistent, am I right

prrety much yeh

Doesn't matter, it's a different strain of jackal just like the skirmishers, slightly more devolved.
Think Dinosaurs then Birds. In this case, the Jackal is the bird while this one is the Dinosaur.
I think this makes sense.
I like it.
I think everyone needs to calm their tits. Yes it looks grungy, yes it's not your average beak-bearing jackal, but it looks good! the eye gives them a more sinister look, besides the eyes have covers over them and it just so happens that these ones are more opaque than the original.

Custom Mapping Team

Dark and grimy = Realistic, used and damaged - so again, realistic.

Nuff said. It looks fine, nice work.

Also, why are people commenting on the model when there is no wireframe so you can't tell if it is good at all tbqh apart from the defined shapes and edges...

...
A kind of helmet beak ? make me a permutation D:

Then explain the inconsistencies in sangheili and unngoy design as well. You going to say halfjaw from halo 3 was a different strain of elite than in halo 2 who had different body porportios and toe structure?

No. Its just redesign. Nothing more. There is no canonical logic behind it.

this reminds me, are you going to do different perms for these jackals that appear randomly like you did with the brutes? (brutes had different colors of fur and different armor perms)

or is each jackal gonna be identical?

Jackals will have color-permutations for their armor and a few helmet/head permutations based on their rank/role.

Edit: I missed this earlier and want to clarify:



This is certainly not a "rip" - from any later Halo game or even H1 (with the exception of maybe the shield gauntlet which would have been silly to redo). The model was made a few years back by Nugget.

The logic behind it is the same as the Skirmishers in Reach. Except a million times more unlikely.
I know it is just a re-design, but it was fun to write at least. I like the idea of dinosaurs in halo.

From our forum by lag..

Those actually look a bit scary. Can't wait for the animations to be with it!

I cannot wait to see the outcome of this project now.

Good Christ.

now that I see them ingame, something doesn't look right,

GOT IT,

as you can see here,
and here


the necks on jackals are quite long, your jackal's neck is too short.


also could you make their mohawks a bit taller? just a suggestion
Edited by Delicon20 on Nov 6, 2011 at 11:05 PM

lol oh man halo 2 jackals

what an abomination those were

We'll see what we can do. We try to keep things proportional with the H1 models, so we don't get any collision or animation errors like you see in HA10. The jackal is the enemy that changed the most from H1->H2 art wise, as the H1 Jackal was never very good looking to begin with.

I think it looks good, but i agree the neck is a little stumpy for jackals.

extending the neck that would cause all sorts of wierd bull with the hitbox

it'd look better with the neck extended though I have to agree

Sweet jackals. They look way tougher than any others for some reason, yay! I love tough jackals.

I gotta say though, the comb of the jackal on your one looks more like a regressive hairline rather than a comb. And the eye looks too much like a diamond. Yes I like to complain.

Inb4 olly rage.

Thats just fueling an argument, go away.

Anyway i think they will look good with or without the extended neck.

So giving my opinion is fueling an argument, no. I will stay, to your dismay.

Not really fueling an argument. He is giving valid critiscm, and yes I like to support TM. The eyes do look liek diamonds...or topaz, or whatever orangey gem you want ti to be. Howver, beggers can't be choosers. You want to delay progress on what may be the greatest campaign MOD of all time?

This deserves punishment. Chop him into small bits as a tuxedoed walrus laughs on, and then feed those bits to the tuxedoed walrus.

Yeah do the Walrus thing.

The walrus is awesome. Don't insult the walrus. He may be fat, but he has class; he has a tuxedo!

I was referring to the Inb4 Dano rage.
But i am just a lackey in this community, so i can't see anything i say getting through to you.

Good to see you know your place.
