Covie Carbine looks pretty great. Not sure about the stock, seems like it'd be hard to keep shouldered, but other than that *thumbs up*.

The Spectre-Revenant hybrid looks a little odd. It looks almost like a strange, four-legged animal dragging its feet. I think the plasma turret could do with some bulking up, like Spiral said, and it might look a little better without the energy shielding.

Good to see someone finally found a use for that revenant model. Everything looks good but turret color doesn't seem to match the rest of the vehicle.

I'm gonna have to say I love that Spectre/Revenant. One of my brodies did something very similar, actually. I just love the hybrid design.

Fun fact: the idea of putting the H3 Plasma turret on the Spectre came from Halo OWaW (a fanmade platform Halo game, unluckily canceled):



A longer barrel could do the trick, but I'd like to keep the hardlight pieces... they're my favourite part of the turret. I'll also fix the shaders, of course.

Other than that, I don't know what else to add. The Plasma turret was already odd by definition (a floating turret on a tripod gravity generator... hnnnnnngh):

Will elites still be able to ride on the sides or has that feature been removed?

They definitely will be able to do it, though I'm gonna make the Spectre used mainly by Brutes.

I have tweaked the Plasma turret shaders. Now it looks less out of place:

Looks good now. I was going to lay down a few suggestions before you make your maps with the tags but maybe when you post again.

New turret shaders look much better. I've noticed that the energy field suspending it seems to be coming out of a featureless metal plate, though.

Is there any way to make it look more like an energy emitter?

Maybe like this?

The energy field under the turret should be blue instead of green.

Much better.

I'm just looking for comparisons, no one didn't ask me to do it.

its based closer off of the h4 carbine than the h3 one.

That spectre looks big in the first person view, will you ever change that?

Yep:



I have also improved some particles of my old weapons. Flamethrower:



Magnum:



They both use stock particles, in case you're curious.

Also, here is an old thing a did:









This Blind Wolf has been originally made and released by Koo294, but its model and textures needed a revamp, so I edited them in order to have better proportions and a more dinosauresque look.
Original Blind Wolf:http://s264.photobucket.com/user/koo294/media/blip-2.png.html

This thing will go in the "maybe" list together with the portable Spectre turret. In case I won't be able to include it in my mod, I'll release it separately.

Now I'll step on with the Warthog.

Can you ride it?



Definitely liking the flamethrower.

Liking the particles and the blind wolf. The legs look a little stocky, but overall it's the best blind wolf I've ever seen recreated in CE.

If you're moving on to the Warthog, might I suggest a single-barreled MG, to mix things up?

The blind wolf's teeth scares me a bit *shudders*. Also what happened to you're grunt ranger I remember seeing somewhere at the start of this thread.

finally somebody tried remaking the blind wolf and made it look close to the original design (Except for that one that looked like a rip, I applaud that one).

Might I suggest maybe making it look like it has more muscle in the leg area? they feel more like cylinders than legs.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of any of Halo's fauna designs.
But the fact that one of the things that were scrapped got in gamed is pretty cool.

Unluckily without OS that's not possible...



Right now the plan is to turn the Warthog into an Aardvark, but I don't have any plan for the turret yet. A single barrel is definitely something I'll look into



Today I have tried to improve them:





Better?

Looks about right to me.

The spectre is awesome ! Good work !

Just checking in to toss you a bag of attention, nice work you're doing! Cool mixed-up spectre.

The Blind-Wolf's legs seem unreal

Did you change the texture or the mesh slightly? Honestly they don't look any different, even comparing the images. I'm not trying to be rude but honestly I don't see a difference

Before:


After:

I think they just need a more muscular shape instead of added mass.

Actually the texture is untouched. I've just edited the bottom part of the legs in order to make them look more like actual calves. A close-up render could help:


Edited by SOI_7 on Jan 22, 2015 at 12:19 PM

Calves look fine, thighs need work.

agreed. The UVs could use a bit of fixing too

I'm having a lot of troubles making the thighs more muscolar due to the way they're oriented. I'm looking at some crocodile pics as references (since they're the only animal with the legs curved in that way) but it seems to not be enough. Well... at least I have fixed the UVs...

The problem is that a crocodile's legs aren't designed for running.

Only thing I can think of is to base the general shape off a crocodile, but make the muscle structure more like a lion, or an ostrich.

fixed UVs make it 100x better

I want blind wolf cavalry
