Look a little closer?

I'm not sure..I can't read it.

If the scenery models themselves aren't changing, I'm going to make them work as best as possible.

I created LOD models for these two scenery pieces so far, the switching happens at appropriate distances and is hardly noticable (which is how it is supposed to be.)


Single wall siding



Dumpster







I compiled the LOD models as separate scenery items for the sake of showing off. These are all custom H3MT items.

More to come.

Looks great, I'm glad people are improving the stuff that the team never quite finished.

Hey people, ou guys haven't forgotten that you can submit your own tags for Foundry right? I'm talking soccer ball, cages, almost anything forge able that may be added to the map pallet!

Hey Jesse, have you noticed that that box kindof in that dumpster is a completely separate box?

Yes sir, indeed I did when I was trying to make the collision model :c

If only you were active, H3MT would have some of it's best members then, and some of the textures might look better with some updatez on the custom items.

That was one of two creations that got me into h3mt. c: oh man i was so horrible

I did mess around with the battle rifle at some point, made it a tad bit better, but I don't know what happened to it. Might be on old computer.
And I think I have a much updated sniper somewhere as well.

EDIT: Found it, on old pc. Would need a new unwrap though, since the one on this is skat. Just some small changes like different sized numbers, something done to the scope from the looks of it, and a 15 minute bitmap with a lighter shade diffuse.

If it was unwrapped better, I would take a shot at making it pretty.

The scope actually looks pretty good.

Using Teh_lag's A50 animations for now, I also fixed the smoothing and junk on the FP model.


@veex

lolold HUD.

The BR has better coloring, but (as you know) is lacking in detail for some areas. I'll see what I can do about the unwrap, what specifically is bothering you about it?

Glowing sights please.

Soon. Waiting on new animations first.

Yeah, most of that is just solid color, I just wanted to have a feel for what it be like with correct color. I think I'll install xfire, just because i love you

Uh, check your scope again. I believe the verts to the lens may not actually be attached correctly. Looks like you have gaps and can see through the backface.

Yes, I am aware of that.

It's not the animations themselves or the weapon rig, it's HDoan's messed up arms rigged that he used to animate them in the first place. Nothing can be done.

Large sexy pic.

extra scenery for if there is space in the palatte.

I'd have to work on the smoothing for that pallet jack, but yeah, this is exactly the kind of stuff we're looking to add for the sake of adding!

What's the status on their collision and such?




I try to do my best without OS :\

Maybe you can do a lot better?
Edited by Jesse on Nov 28, 2012 at 03:06 AM

I made collision for them all, the palatte has holes so you could hide behind a stack of them and shoot through them.
The shaders are a 2 minute job as is the multi.
There is far too much shine on the jack and like you said, the smoothing needs fixed.
I have a bunch more of the industrial looking devices, should i get those ingame too?

Oh yes, please do. Also, save the data files cause I may need them. Upload pritty pix pls.

Can't exactly make a better spectacular map than bungie for CE. Some of the 3 dimensional detail is held within the bump, if I neglect it those details will not stand out and the weapons will look flat.

Some of my current goals are to have certain scenery items actually be vehicles, and for a number of reasons.

I want (but don't expect):

Explodable forklift, with syncage of course.

Interactive scenery, meaning fusion coils can roll and explode (vehis)
Spools can roll and move with explosions.

Eh, that's it for now.

What ? Depends on how you fakebump. You certainly think of bad methods, stop being so simplistic

Would it be possible to remove flipping those vehicles with E? I really disliked it in cmt maps where you can flip covenant storage thingies.

Making the vehicle dead when spawned and it's gone !

Why not say Spartan Laser or Laser Spartan?
Curious choice of words there.
It probably will be in the map.It's Foundry,after all.

My spartan laser tags are shiz, but if Bourrin is nice enough to donate his purty splaser I may spawn it for certain gametypes :P

But the laser doesn't spawn by default in the map.

what?

It is almost finished, and they are probably polishing and doing closed testing

Another one bites the dust!



Yeah, on my part I am optimizing already existing scenery, and I'm going to add Maniac's new scenery too. BSP UVs are already done so I don't really have much to do with the unwrapping of it anymore, BSP is all in DSalimander's hands now.

I'm going for new weapon LODs and collision models.

I don't have the model. I have the animations are here somewhere.

I'll rip the H3 model soon and work on that.

Added the window hinge things.

used modified sniper bipod :c

This is shaping up very nicely. Great work so far guys.

Thanks, and the cool thing is that the map works as well as it looks, it's not just a pritty map.

AHAHAHAH. And he's lying, the map is crap, it just looks pretty. Prepare for extreme lag, overwhelming dynamic lights for power drainers and random explosions. Well the explosions I'm cool with but the rest no :C

You can see the mountain outside in the distance.

what am I looking at exactly?
