I see what you were going for, and you did manage to blend elements from all of the models into one, but it just doesn't look quite right to me. The Combat Evolved model was a relatively light, fairly mobile emplacement. The Halo 3 model was a heavy, static emplacement. So it's a bit odd to see a light chassis on a bulky, heavy-looking base. The energy shield seems a bit too far forward and has an unecessary segment on the bottom, and the gun looks overly complicated. It's definitely different, but it doesn't really appeal to me, personally, as much as your other models have. Edited by Echo77 on Dec 11, 2014 at 01:09 AM

Also, I think the overall appearence is ruined by the overly complicated texture in the grey metal parts. I'd say let's just wait the final product before suggesting something else, this is definitely still a WIP. P.S. Bump this post pls

The stuff I'm gonna show you is something that I did around the end of May, so it is really old, but I think you'll find it interesting as well. 1) I have finally fixed the compass. I messed with all the settings in the hud tags, and it seems that the problem was the color function. After some tests, I got the result I wanted changing it from "multiply" to "subtract". Now the compass is finally colored, and doesn't disappear anymore. There is only a little problem: at certain angles, it becomes blue instead of cyan, but that's not a big deal. 2) I have finished a thing that I always wanted to see in Halo CE: the Flood Juggernaut! http://oi57.tinypic.com/281bvhe.jpg http://oi61.tinypic.com/4q69tg.jpg http://oi60.tinypic.com/210ykxl.jpg The story behind this thing is simple: the Juggernaut is available in the Flood Campaign, hidden in the tags folder (it seems that Beachparty did it), but it has been rigged with the Carrier Form boneset, and it wasn't even good enough, since its UVs were flipped (WTF). Other people did a working Juggernaut (like Kirby), but they never released it, so I wanted to do it by myself. I initially fixed the UVs, then made a new boneset, then rescaled the model, made a new collision and finally a new set of animations. Don't expect the best animations on the forum, but at least they're... passable. In the collision, I gave to the hands an indistructible material, and I did a crouch animation in which the Juggernaut covers his face in a defensive pose: http://oi60.tinypic.com/21jnl9e.jpg And, lastly, I did a custom set of dialogues, recording and modifying some inhales on YouTube (thanks to greg079 for his suggestion). 3) Since the Juggernaut was the last biped I had to do (excluded the secret ones), I started working on the sceneries. For now, I just did some of the a10 sceneries: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2e0pxxf.jpg http://oi57.tinypic.com/fc1jes.jpg http://oi62.tinypic.com/sw4i8g.jpg http://oi62.tinypic.com/bhwpi8.jpg http://oi59.tinypic.com/19tj4y.jpg On a side note, some parts are still solid gray because I still have to mess with the a10 BSP textures, so they'll be fixed later. Now, I'd like to make a video about the Juggernaut, but I still need to mess with the actor variant. Now it acts basically like a simple Combat Form, with the only difference that it runs at you faster when it berserks, and has a letal melee. Does anyone here have some experience with actor variants, and can give me some tips for making it more savage and different from the other Flood forms? I'd like some tips for the Brute Form and the Drones as well, since they still look like reskinned sentinels... Edited by SOI_7 on Jul 17, 2014 at 09:02 AM Thats a good flood model you made. At least you're only one that can produce floods.

Among the blockbuster games of yesteryear and today perhaps destiny is a halo combat evolved just submitted in the wrong generation. Give it time to evolve, mean while moan about Halcod.

I don't want to destroy your enthusiasm, but actually I didn't create that model, and I clearly stated it: Quote: --- Original message by: SOI_7 the Juggernaut is available in the Flood Campaign, hidden in the tags folder (it seems that Beachparty did it), but it has been rigged with the Carrier Form boneset, and it wasn't even good enough, since its UVs were flipped (WTF).

Edited by SOI_7 on Jul 17, 2014 at 09:02 AM I agree with you about the H3 Flood, though. Anyway, a little update. I've tweaked the things you guys pointed: I've removed the bottom piece of the shield and improved its shaders (so that the pulse fades on the edges). I've also rounded it so that it covers the driver more, and I've rounded the muzzle of the gun, simplified the texture in the grey areas, and added two pipes. Is it ok now? Feel free to suggest any tips

Spiral Joined: Apr 3, 2011 I hope i'm out of the way	Posted: Dec 13, 2014 02:17 PM Msg. 745 of 983 maybe an indicator of where it is initially facing. Something to tell you which side is the front. Kinda like the front fins on your wraith, pointing forward. Or perhaps add a ring thingy around it like the base of this turret. I still feel like the turret is jutting out a bit weird, but it defiantly looks better now. Do you have a top view of this one? Edited by Spiral on Dec 13, 2014 at 02:19 PM

R93_Sniper Joined: Feb 13, 2011 When in Doubt, RUN!	Posted: Dec 13, 2014 04:22 PM Msg. 746 of 983 in Halo 3 and Reach, they had a little piece that jutted out near the base, kind of like a circular extrusion. You might be able to do that if you wanna follow through with Spiral's suggestion.

OPS! SPOILER! Anyway, I have worked on it today. I have refined a bit the muzzle, added a support piece under it, and added the Halo Wars-like ring to the base: Opinions?

Echo77 Joined: Jul 20, 2010 Humble thyself and hold thy tongue.	Posted: Dec 14, 2014 05:56 PM Msg. 752 of 983 It looks much better now, I think. It looks like it would fire a continuous beam in short bursts, similar to an upscaled Sentinel beam

Spiral Joined: Apr 3, 2011 I hope i'm out of the way	Posted: Dec 14, 2014 07:14 PM Msg. 754 of 983 Not necessary at all, do what you want! I think the turret should have a secondary fire. Maybe a plasma thrower so the player can't run up to it. That sounds like a fun mechanic. Are there going to be variants of the turret? That might be better. If you do add a flame thrower thing to it may I suggest adding barrels to the back of it? Or have a single barrel on it's side Maybe have the barrel as a weak point. Explode or light the driver on fire or something. Just suggestions. As of now, It looks good.

Juzo Joined: Jul 1, 2014	Posted: Dec 18, 2014 05:58 PM Msg. 755 of 983 The shade turret should have two cannons instead of one, like the Halo 3 and Reach shades. Edited by Infinite Guardian on Dec 18, 2014 at 06:01 PM

SOI_7 Joined: Mar 23, 2012 Welcome to the true man's world	Posted: Dec 20, 2014 10:18 AM Msg. 756 of 983 I need to see how the Shade plays in game before deciding to put alternate firing modes/turret variants. As for now, I'll step on. I have finished the Banshee: I started from the H1 model, adding some influences from Halo Reach, 3 and Wars. The cabine has the green shine like in H3 and Wars, the wings are an hybrid between the Halo Wars and Reach ones, the tails are more sharp and aerodynamic, and I've added two longer plasma cannons, similiar to the Halo Reach Space Banshee. Also, it has an actual muzzle for the Fuel Rod bomb now: (Ignore any UV error, they'll be fixed once the model passes the approval). The firing sound is the H3 one, and the plasma cannons have an alternate firing rate. Opinions?

Spiral Joined: Apr 3, 2011 I hope i'm out of the way	Posted: Dec 20, 2014 01:09 PM Msg. 758 of 983 I just made a large post with opinions but unfortunately this specific website crashed for 4 mins. Ok, I like the look, except the barrel, I think they need to fit in a bit better, maybe add something like this? Perhaps with pipes? I like pipes. I feel like a long barrel would not shoot plasma bolts, or round ones I mean. I think a laser looking projectile would be nice. Something like the halo 2 specter. I suggest search lights! Cmt had fun ones: Overall, I like the design. Wings are nice. Barrel could use some work. Can you put an elite in it real quick?

I'll take a quick video of the Banshee both when you drive it and when Elites use it, once I have fixed those things

Spiral Joined: Apr 3, 2011 I hope i'm out of the way	Posted: Dec 21, 2014 03:25 PM Msg. 762 of 983 The projectile seems a bit too messy/masculine for a long barreled weapon. Not much of an issue. I feel like the projectile can be fired at too far of an angle from 0 degrees. As in the projectile is coming out of the barrel at a maximum of 45 degrees. Looks kinda funny. Barrel looks much better and I like the lights a lot. Like a lot. Have you gotten the boarding animation for this one?

Something similar to the ghost, so that the bolts' trajectory won't deviate much from the barrel. I think it'd be better if the barrels were fixed in place, and the projectiles had 0 deviation, so that the whole craft has to move to aim the guns.

I'm not sure that "Banshee" and "make sense aerodynamically" can be used in the same sentence without a "doesn't," but I think that could be a cool idea, having functional tail flaps. I believe it was a feature that was originally intended to be in Combat Evolved.

SOI_7 Joined: Mar 23, 2012 Welcome to the true man's world	Posted: Dec 22, 2014 08:41 AM Msg. 770 of 983 Sniper is right, the back fins have bones and are already rigged. Perhaps the turning animation is disabled or inexistent, but I can create it from scratch. As for the cannons, I'll adjust the angles as you guys pointed. @Spiral: I didn't make boarding for this vehicle because, with the method I used, it would be almost impossible to get it correctly. It would make sense if the PP EMP was possible without OS, but I'm still looking for a method that can do it...
