Hello! here is our project from halo 4 xD our work is bring everithing we can from halo 4 to CE :) usin custom models *from other people around the internet of course giving the proper credits*and the models that we did..Any constructive criticism is appreciated but please be nice! This project is not by the best modelers and mappers is oh is from inexperienced people who are still learning....anyone who would like to donate a model * because is too lazy to finish it LOL * oh would like help in this project is welcome :) here some pics!

The scope looks like a concrete block on top of a weapon.

Oh man, look at that dope energy sword!

Looks great...

what do you guys think about this hud? by-HaloWeder117

oh great idea!!!!

whisper:helpppppp meeeeeee.......

But they'll have do that for every single weapon they want to use the HUD thing on.

Take it from someone who actually worked on the design of actual real life Heads Up Displays: it is not very good. The very first design metric of a HUD is to NEVER, EVER and I mean never block or obscure the field of view of the user. A HUD should never make you need to look around it. There is clearly 10% of the field of view being blocked for no apparent reason. Informational objects in the display should be minimal and always to the periphery of the field of view where perception is greater. HUD objects should not occupy the center of the display field unless it is targeting or control related. But I get that you are going for an aesthetic not related to real world designs but even in that the lower section should not be completely opaque.

However you can't go by me I know what a real HUD should look like and believe me the ones I have seen in this forum bear absolutely no resemblance to a real one.

Because technically,it's a HMD.

I think HUDs should be as simplistic and minimalistic as possible, there's too much stuff on the one posted above, clean up the lines and black corners.


What would be a real one? I'm just curious as to what it would look like.

It depends on what it is for. I was part of a team that worked on vehicle HUDs where we needed to display the vehicle status like speed, direction, fuel and various other items. The aviation HUDs were much more complex and involved. My small part was the power supplies for the LED emitters. But the rule of thumb was the same: Never block the field of view and all non integral status was on the periphery. The thing I see on all the HUDs in the forum is the constant obscuring of the field of view for no reason other than ill informed ascetics. I completely understand why people do it but when asked.... well you know.

That requires to never have the "frame bone_24" (The parent frame of the FP arms) moving, which would require to use only custom animations (most of them have a centered frame bone 24) keeping always the same kind of overlays.
Also the view of the helmet interior could possibly be different depending on the resolution, + OS FOV and positions for weapons would screw that up...

Correct me if I am wrong (I didn't exactly read the whole thread), but I thought they were trying to recreate the halo 4 HUD, not design a new one. And those opaque parts are parts of the physical helmet, not the HUD.

If this is the case then I would think that staying true to Halo 4 is the priority, rather than designing a more realistic HUD. HOWEVER, if they are designing a new HUD, I would recommend redoing it and taking Dennis's comments into considerations, it makes so much more sense to not have stuff in the way.

yes.. we are trying to do the hud of halo 4 ...

sorry....we did not create Halo 4 ...

More proof that Halo 4 is the worst halo game of all time.

no
superman 64 is the worst game of all time, next to sonic 06.

EDIT: nvm, dr Jekyll and mr Hyde was the worst
Edited by master noob on Nov 26, 2012 at 10:37 PM

I said the worst halo game.
Superman 64 is not the worst halo game of all time.

sure give me a moment ill will come and rip it from halo 4 .........

post a link when the map is done

was a joke.. *JK=joke*

any news on the tags? teaser plox

many news,but I will not show it until we have something solid and well done ... your know .... people are very judgmental here on halomaps.....

Edit:nvm
in game Promethean grenade

bolshot WIP.not our model credits no te respective creator..

i dont remenber the name of this shield...is promethean

Hardlight shield .
Edited by haloextreme117 on Dec 2, 2012 at 09:17 AM

thanks :)

No problem. :)

You only need a plane for the hardlight shield, don't extrude it. It also doesn't need to match the shape EXACTLY, as the texture is the main thing that defines the shape.

thank you very much for your advice :)

Hardlight shield looks pretty cool.

Wouldn't you need the right geometry so that the collision model is right?

That's why I said "doesn't need to match the shape EXACTLY", so I mean that the edges dont really need to have many triangles to make them smooth.

what about this one?"ignore the neddler...."
