Asd, in this way if you have the Reach model, you can recreate the Halo 4 Banshee with just a reskin xD

LOL just make it lighter purple and give it a glossy cubemap, and BLAMMO! H4 Banshee!

"Were it so easy."

Oh right, it is. Same goes for Needler. Just make it purple.

Yep. And the Ghost, make it darker.

And the Plasma Pistol

Phantom: Darker with green lights

Wraith: different textures

...AND WE GOT HALO 4 TAGS WITHOUT MODELLING!!!!1!1!1!!one!!one

(Okay, I got crazy)

Lulz, if only we could get a Mammoth.

We don't even have a fully-working Scarab, imagine a Mammoth...

Do you like this?

Still better than CEA. Keyes looked too young (and dumb)...

It'd probably be easier than a Scarab, it's really just a gigantic Warthog...

Challenge accepted.

YES! That is the most epic phrase ever.

And SOI, i'm gonna have to disagree with you on that: I liked the CEA Keyes model. But your opinion is yours, so I'm not gonna press it ;D

And I respect your opinion ;)

That keyes looks rather grumpy...

:O

what's a "respect"?, is that some sort of new OS feature?


In all seriousness, keys looks like he is trying to eat my soul 0.o

Well... Keyes wasn't a sweet man, after all xD
But, trust me, before he was worse. I don't know why, but Bungie made his model so that he looks snarling o.O

Edited by SOI_7 on Apr 4, 2013 at 04:49 PM

I believe that's because of the pipe he always has.

well, mostly it's the eyes and skin tone, he just looks like he wants to tear apart w/e it was he was looking at :P

reduce the white in his eyes, and probably put back a few wrinkles

soften his face too, the jagged edges don't help

Keyes is trying to use his laser eyes!

What about now?


P.S. I'm really disappointed with Bungie's model. It is so low poly and sharp, compared to the others! >:(

Better, though he still looks grumpy lol, but not evil.

maybe widen his jawline a bit

other than that, looks good

I think the eyes are the problem... I'll fix them again :/ And maybe I'll do something to improve the geometry, like replacing the old hands with a more detailed version

You could take the Reach version and age him a bit....

I wanted to edit the model, but Gmax gave me this...



Why the hell does it screw smoothing groups??? They all give me the same result, and I don't know how to smooth the edge of the face!!

I know, Gmax is terrible sometimes. Did you try "select by element", select his head, click remove all smoothing groups, and try again?

Yes, but it didn't work :(

Edit: Finally got it, I had just to weld the vertices:


Also got better hands and shoes, now they're really good:


I'd like to use my stuff in a campaign mod, maybe with other improved stuff, like extended BSPs, different missions, more dialogues, cutscenes, enemies, vehicles and different songs... But only when I'll get a consistent number of tags. I'm also waiting for the Halo 4 OST Vol. 2

Soooo.... anything new coming?

Sure :P
First of all, I've enchanced the H4 sword, because the first version didn't satisfy me:



Thanks to TDog for the H4 textures! I know that I could have used directly the H4 model (the rip, I mean), but you know that I love editing stuff instead of just copying and pasting it. Moreover, I also try to get, in this way, a low-poly version of the H4 models, in order to avoid performance problems.
I've also modified CMT Flood textures, in order to have a more disgusting look:

And what about this deployable cover I made?


Edited by SOI_7 on Apr 17, 2013 at 01:10 PM

ooooh... very sexy, all of it. Loving that flood texture!

Nice Re-texturing there mate!

in terms of the energy sword, I think you should go for a more smoother energy-like appearance rather than a nitty-gritty sword made of "plasma?" look.

I mean, come on, the plasma has scratches on it.

At first I did it smooth, but then I noticed that the H4 sword has a sort of scratched ice-detail map...

But if you prefer a smooth look, I'll remove it. By the way, it's just an additive map (the leather seat of the lifepod, to be precise)...

sometimes, you should look back and say "should I make it look like the original or should I make it look good?"

It could just be me, but that glowing effect you have going there looks way too strong. Try making the diffuse for that a tad bit more transparent
