Is the sarcasm from MatthewDratt the only good kind around here? I mean come on.

I don't see how it was sarcasm since the update is on IGN.

I'll just post the Assault Rifle http://p3d.in/rFU38. Completely not optimized and isn't textured.

EDIT: I'll post the one seen in the CE3 build just for comparison. http://p3d.in/j3uHX
(I personally found the old Assault Rifle to look a bit ugly from over complexity in design)

I prefer old one. The new one looks just like Halo 3 AR. Bean must love it

hello all, i'm greg079, and i've been working with the I01 team for quite some time now. originally i joined as the team's only concept artist, but took on other tasks and roles as was needed. i brought a bit my work to show


my primary focus in weapon design (codenamed "project consistency") was to give each manufacturer it's own unique look, while maintaining a familiar look and shape to the originals.

later, i started making highpoly, and then lowpoly, character sculpts for I01. as with before, i'll be showing some of my work


once again, for characters, i'm trying to maintain a classic look. the images shown are the highpoly sculpts, and we are in the process of creating armor, and other assets.

thats all i'll be showing at this time, and i have nothing further to show, or announce.

I'm going to guess that you are just joking around...

Why do you show assets while this is supposed to be about a game ?

It's actually the CE/HW AR and I did make fun of Bean when he wanted it to look closer to the Halo 3 one.

I'm not trying to attack, make fun of, or mock your stuff in anyway, but you may want to fix up that grunt's proportions more, because at the moment, to me it looks a bit more like a deformed baby. : L

It may just be because the middle body *the torso to the stomach to the pelvic area* seems a bit long to me, and the pelvic area seems a bit wide. I'm sure if you fix it up more it would look better. : )

Edit:
Actually, I think you just inspired me to design and make my own grunt. I'm going to try and fully make a model for the first time. *Fully as in unwrap for the first time, texture for the first time and rig for the first time. I have never actually gone past making a finished or full model, they are usually unfinished, almost finished or never finished. * ; )

i did my best to try to replicate bungie's grunt proportions, except without armor. it does look quite strange, yes, but i'm hoping that once it's armored, that'll resolve any wierdness. i would love to see whatever you come up with p3.

a way you could actually get a better working base would be to get the model of the grunt that you like the most, put it in Max/Maya, make your own grunt base using those proportions as a blockout, then go to zbrush/mudbox and start sculpting finer details

Why?

I suppose it would be justified by the fact that they were made for the game. Assets are all we can show at this point.

I'm fairly sure you can guess why we can't show other things.

well bourrin, i'll stop ignoring your question if you'll stop spamming. at this point, 100% of our current code is all custom and incredibly efficient, however, there are other features about it that i'm not sure i'm able to talk about atm. the other reason why we're showing assets,instead of code or gameplay, is because we have only one programmer.

A common mistake made with character creation is that details and other things are planned and implemented way too early. Proportions are what come first, always. Once everything is in proportion, then details go on, as well as any 3rd party elements (such as armor).

Here's a great example of fan-made high-poly grunt work. Note the proportions: LINK

The flood is closer to completion technically, make sure that the tentacles are way thinner though.

Keep going, there's a classic vibe to be felt from these, which is cool, because classic is cool.

How you guys gunna do fx?

Stick too PC for now, try Android l8r?

We are. I'm the only one playing around with it.

we're tossing around a lot of ideas right now, but if you're offering to help that'd be lovely

It has to be impressive, flashy, and consistently updated or it isn't Halomaps worthy!!!

RAW Images or animated video's I can do.

Plugging it in the engine is something for the mighty mootjuh to do.

For the desrt things,maybe have something like "repairing the installation's damaged eviromental systems" or something. so then you can have a more...varying eviroment. instead of sand, sand, and more sand.

we were currently tossing around ideas on the best way to vary gameplay and enviornments, without breaking canon the way 343's Installation 03 did. (descriptions on the enviornments for the halo rings is somewhat contradictory, actually a lot of the lore is a bit of a mess.) i can assure you that we have multiple "loremasters" on the team, and continue to take great efforts to ensure that we do not break canon, but gameplay is still interesting.

True....

So yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of i01. iirc bean is gonna put up a video soon.

Alrighty...

Dank, didn't notice the thread got bumped. Welp. It's been one year since the development of Installation 01 began. Damn. Words cannot describe how I feel. As you all remember, this game has been changed up a bit over time (thanks to yours truly). Right now we are working on implementing all the weapons along with their animations. When at least 2 weapons are done, the networking API goes in. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project over this past year. I've learned so much from my team and my fans.

Thanks guys. It means a lot.

I was suppost tout animateur forme this but never goût thé source files lom

1 year of procrastination and void claims

son that is true.

as much as i wanna tell you to shut the hell up, the procrastination is pretty true.

Cool. Is i01 cancelled yet.

is bigass cancelled yet

No, I'm just redoing it for 10th time.

due to a recent lack of beans, we are now looking for someone to help us rig character models. those interested may contact us here, on halomaps.
