A+ on the roads. I cant seem to find any decent road bitmaps like that >.>

Oh god... Nick actually dug out an old project.

All the bitmaps I am using I ported from Halo 3: ODST.

Damn I remember this, I'd play the crap out of this if it was done right. did you plan on using OS with this or no?? just curious

I recall that he is.
Also damnit Hr3shy, get on xfire

Which one?

It would be great if you could circle it on the picture you're talking about :)

Those wide spaces needs some fountains, little water places or something...

That's actually a really good idea that didnt occur to me! Thanks dude! :D (not being sarcastic btw)

lookin good nickster

Fountains would be really cool too..
How about adding in hologram billboards or digital ads/posters? Just like what you'd see in the New Alexandria levels on Reach.

I have plans to do that, and im trying to give it a Halo 3: ODST feel rather than reach. :)

thanks op i came on cat she hiss at penis

UPDATE!!!!

@2:53 AM...

ANYWAYS! I have a latest version ingame, and since it's rather difficult to take pictures... I decided to make a VIDEO instead!

Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j26PFw5Ypms&feature=youtu.be

Keep in mind this is in ALPHA stage, and I am taking a big gamble showing you guys how much I show in this video. I hope you guys like it though! :D

Great video and nice updates.

If you want me to redo the weapon effects, so they look more fresher and not reused. I don't mind helping.



Apologies for the squashed screen, didn't want overtake the thread. With a huge HD look at me URL!

All effects you see were created exclusively by me, I would sorely love to see them in the public release of your map

Looks like good progress and I love the sense of scale of the city in the video but it looks like alot of the textures on your map are very 'rocky' which doesn't really fit with the more metal-looking buildings and objects that odst had.

Because every project needs artwork. Made by meh. PSD available



Haven't seen a firefight project to rival the likes of descent, maybe this could clinch the trophy?

Since this is in its WIP stage I'm not going to gripe about the lighting. Once you have your gameplay set in stone though I think this map would greatly benefit from some well-done rain particle effects, and dynamic lighting like burning cars or flashing street lights.

UPDATE!

I'm going to make it offical that I am bringing this back. I can't gurantee a solid date since my senior year of high school is rapidly coming to an end, and college is coming up (and i'm sure most of you can relate to the college / post-high school life) and I have picked up some awesome opportunities with CMT.

However, I have a solid 5-wave working demo with some awesome encounters, a temporary nice-looking HUD, and assets in the process of being ported from H3: ODST. I have ideas which include the player leaving Sector 9 & fighting enemies in two different sectors throughout the level. I've been doing research & reading about lighting and shaders, in which I am going to attempt an accurate - best-of-my-ability feel of a night city that looks similar to H3: ODST.

I have alot planned for this project, stay tuned & enjoy the progress of this ambitious, potential-loaded, exciting project!

Feel free to contribute any ideas you have for this firefight, as I have seen some awesome ideas i'm considering implementing by looking back on this thread!

PM me how I could improve it, don't kill da thread.

" It looks so messy and make it clean than adding a bunch of effects. "

> Makes no sense :(

What he's trying to say is that the glare, shininess and graphic effects made your logo REALLY hard to read, let alone enjoy.
It's like what he said, slapping down effects doesn't make a logo good.
What you want to do is to make it easy to remember, memorable, fun to look at and stand out without being painfully distracting.

Side note, a lot of graphics the past few years are looking less glossy and more minimalist (only using one or two colors, clean lines, simple-as-possible designs)... basically the exact opposite of what you had.

Take a look at the change between CE3 logos between 2010 and 2013, as well as logos by Apple, Shell oil, Microsoft, Pepsi, Wal-Mart, Volkswagen and Siemens... or heck, even the Halo logo between Halo 1 and 4 -note how they're all really simple but still visually striking.

EDIT: Nick, I'll try to slap together another logo for you soon. I gotta go to San Diego for a college visit, but I'll see if I can make you something on the flight there.

Oh okay, I understand now.

BTW there weren't many fancy effects.

I was just playing around with the blend modes and stuff, but I'll take your critiques on board, ty.

Flying to SoCal, eh? Make sure you come visit me when you're down there!

but it can make for a michael bay movie poster

Edited by renegade343 on Apr 1, 2014 at 05:56 PM

...ill be honest, that looks pretty bad >.>

Super Cartoony Models, semi-realistic blood, oddly made road texture. The font is good though, font I agree with

If it looked like the ingame, I'd take it. A different take visually

Nah, I'd have to say that looks a little more crappier than mine. But everything starts off crap, so no worries there. Actually your poster has given me an idea........

-bye bye-

Cool, people actually taking advantage of OS. That looks great and makes this so much more like ODST stylistically.

The BSP looks really nice!

Okay. Now that I look at it when I can actually keep my eyes open.... .... what was I even thinking @.@

I'll be honest, I was focused more on trying to get that image done before I left rather than making it better in terms of quality... My bad, I'll redo it when I can focus x.x

Nick: does that you mean you finally got VISR working???

I've always had VISR working. I just wanted to show an update with a comparison between VISR and no VISR.

Really epic bsp shaders. And the VISR mode is epic too. Great work :D

More custom art work for ya nick, more subtle, less 3d, more 2d, inspired slightly by renegades attempt.

2 Hrs, 15 minutes of work, might have screwed up with the bloodsplat and "coming soon" FEEDBACK!





@Nickster5000: Can we have a hint on the type of weapons you will be using? I've already seen the TAC BR and Socom. So would it be safe to say that there will be a major stealthy feel to the map?
