Here is a model I've been working on for about a day now.













I'm basing it off of the building in Halo Reach where you first contact the covenant and are forced to fall back into the building, I think it's an ONI building but I really can't remember. But anyway, all crit welcome.

Sorry about not posting images, the mod should edit that setting. Just a tip.

EDIT: If anything, I'd like some crit on the bases overall scheme, also some of the interiors if you would like.

Good concept, but...

I can't put my finger on what I don't really like.

Just a tip: one would need something to crit on when you're asking for crit.

E: Not bad of a start.

Hey Dennis, or whoever is mod,
Would you be able to change the name of this thread to
[WIP]UNSC ONI Base
Edited by Storm on Dec 19, 2011 at 01:22 AM

honestly, it seems more like a bunker that's connecting to tunnels than a base to me... but maybe that's just my POV..

True, that's sort of what I'm basing it on. A bunker, thanks for the verbiage, I had a total mindblank >.<

you might alreay know, but hit F4 and it will show a wireframe
on your model, i think it makes it easier to see your work.
doing good for only a few weeks at it tho.

Yea, I already knew, but thanks anyway. I'll upload some pics of a wireframe soon.

The wireframes are up:

You've got a lot of excessive faces that you don't need, but it looks good overall

That can be optimized.

I spent a bit of last night editing it to lower the face count. I've uploaded a few whole wireframe images.

Sorry about your bandwitdth.

I like the overall idea, but the model itself isn't very good imo. But, don't get discouraged, everyone starts somewhere! You're better than I was when I made my first few models. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z361/Amazingcuziam/bladbfg.jpg
Proof of how terribad I used to be.

More proof.
Proof of improvement:

Now, I'm not saying you'll magically become decent at it one day (like I did xD.), but I am saying if you try, and look up tutorials you'll get better. TL;DR I don't love the model, but keep at it, you can only improve from here!
Oh, wait... I was supposed to sugar coat it like everyone else, wasn't I? Oops.
For some reason, my post feels incomplete... Oh well. I really hope this makes sense, I'll be sad if it doesn't.

Very very sexy. Wouldn't mind getting a bit of help from you, but I'm fine with it. And just a heads up "sugar coating" it doesn't help me get better, I just need to know where to improve exactly on the model. Like what edges could I chamfer, what faces I could optimize, whether or not I should add a smooth modifier etc.
