The NTW-20 aesthetic did inspire Halo's original sniper rifle, but the NTW is a bolt-action, as opposed to semi-automatic, and it's chambered for 20mm as opposed to 14.5mm, so using it as a source of inspiration for a redesign of the big bolt-action from Extinction should result in a rifle that fits Halo's aesthetic fairly well.

I hardly have the modeling skills to make any decent looking gun at all. if I did I would have already modeled and animated a Blaser R93 Tactical Sniper Rifle >.>

On that note, I think I've mentioned that im not even going to bother with the huge Extinction Rifle, I don't like its design and I don't think I could even make it work even if I wanted to.

That being said, I sent the coldsnap sniper to Vampire Girl, so whenever she gets that to me i'll apply the texture and release the tags.

Hey Sniper! Planning any new releases for the future?

I do intend to release things, soon hopefully but i've been extremely busy irl and i'm trying to get a few things together to release. If you guys have specific requests, state them now. I'll prioritize those

A light machine gun similar to the one in this concept would be glorious.

That's amazing. Can't believe I've never seen that concept art before. Blows halo 4's SAW design out of the water and into the depths of space

It really does. It has an MA5-based aesthetic, as opposed to the H4 SAW's Nerf-based aesthetic.

while im not the best modeler, and hella certain that this would be a task better handed off to SOI, i think i could try this and see where it goes

ill probably draw it out orthographically (or atleast try) and see where that goes

I'm afraid that's the only picture of that particular weapon concept that I've seen. From what I can tell, though, it has an MA5-style fore end and a DMR or BR-style stock and pistol grip. Rather than using the bullpup configuration of either of these weapons, though, it has a more conventional layout, with the belt feed and ejection fort in front of the trigger. I don't know if that helps much. If nothing else, some design elements could probably be taken from some of these concepts:

When you get the chance: Halo Reach Hunter, Halo Reach Corvette, Halo 4 Spartans??, etc.
Thank you so much if you do get the chance.

Halo Reach Hunter: I'll get on it ASAP
Halo Reach Corvette: I'll have to see how it turns out, but alright
Halo 4 Spartans: I already have them extracted, but its a laggy as hell file to open, and its in 2012. I can release it as is, but it'd be up to you guys to work around the materials. You alright with that?

Sounds Great Man! Thanks A lot. :D

R93, if possible, pm me the files for the spartan, i want to fix it.

i already know whats causing it. its the composite material that the new AMF importer uses. Either way, i'm just going to post it as it is

Edit: You guys can just call me sniper, everyone else does >.>

Hey sniper, do u still have the reach marines and elites in-game (as tags)
Edited by Hunter145 on May 16, 2014 at 03:50 AM

I never got them ingame, i just extracted the models and got them set up in max (and looking back i did a terrible job too). Spartan314 has everything ingame though, so you can actually ask him for those

Ha, if you did a terrible job then what does that make me? :P
Anyway, the only presentable thing (sort of not really) are the elites. Kind of gave up of the marines a while back. (Although I still have those if anyone wants to continue work of them. *rig is terribad enough to give people eye cancer just by looking at them*)

I will take them and see what I can do with them.

Is it possible to rip stuff off of halo anniversary.

kind of. The Doctor made a post about that a while ago

Sniper, what next projects do u think of doing.

Sniper is lazy and does projects that nobody is going to really care about.

Sniper posts pictures of random projects and extractions for lulz











Sniper is now going to go cry in a corner because he can never finish anything

uuuuuuung, I'm not a fan of the Didactic, but that model tho.

I'll smother you with hugs, Sniper. And lots of tissues.


all teh homo! jk

dat pillar of autumn

Didact rendering was done in Mental ray, with help from Master Noob for showing me how to use the arch and design material

I'm still mad that Anchor 9 is 1.3m Polys while the Corvette is 206k. Like cmon bungie, Anchor9 was so useless to the story and you didnt see s--- of it through the game, why make such a highpoly model that i cant port to CE. Courvette could be easily fix'd tho

Lel like they care how port-able a model is to CE. Still the point stands, those conversions look great man!
Edited by EtchyaSketch on Jun 9, 2014 at 07:55 PM

Its easily portable to a pc game, its just too high poly to work in CE :P You do know they build assets like that on a PC right?

Thank you for enlightening me, I was not aware.
SARCASM

Flippin 1.3m polys tho. There's no need for that on a model that you barely even see

Someone should make a side campaign or Firefight that centers around Anchor Nine, then :3

R93 Sniper, I just registered to tell you this, thank you for the Halo Reach Marine and Elite Models they are excellent ports and should come in handy.

However I've tried downloading and using the Halo 3 weapons pack that you released a couple years ago. And unlike the Marine max scene, this 3ds max scene doesn't work at all for me. Whenever I open it will say, "File open Failed". I have all versions of 3ds max, I've tried it on both 32 bit versions of 2010 and 2011 3ds max with no success.

I have also redownloaded/extracted to see if it was a corruption error but its the same problem. is there anyway that I can fix this? I mainly want those Halo 3: ODST weapons that I see in that pack.

I'll look into it. The Marines are also extremely incomplete I found out later. so i'll need to fix those up to send to you

Any updates? :o
