So I have some concepts in my head, but I just wanted to know if anyone had released a detailed Forunner modelling tutorial.

The best way is to draw your concepts as best as you can and model over the concept.

I always thought it was pretty self-explanatory. Lots of angles, lots of design. There's also different styles of Forerunner architecture, as well. (ex. Alpha Halo, Delta Halo, Requiem. And it's not just being stone vs metal)
I would study and look around at the type of Forerunner architecture you want to model and kind-of going off that, using them as references. searching 'halo forerunner architecture' should supply some good results. However I suggest staying away from the Halo 4 stuff, that's quite a bit more complicated. Also a sort of delta style tutorial from http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?16703-Quickly-Creating-Forerunner-Structures  http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7709/forerunnerdemo.jpg |

As you might have noticed it depends on the shape you are modeling in the first place,
most of the time it's about how you want the angles to flow. Try using your chosen textures to get the style too, like use it for angles etc within the shape. notice the main shape of this corner piece, but see how the texture is creating the style just with the texture. not great but hey, you get the idea.  |

Quote: --- Original message by: Mootjuh If you're modelling after a existing piece, you can use the texture as reference to get the proportions right. Or else you get ugly differences in texture density. Yea you could do that if, you are using an existing piece and don't want to have a different look to it. Might even be a good idea for the op to model from existing textures to get the feel of how it can be used and manipulated. edit: might even even lol, ment even be. Edited by ally on Mar 2, 2014 at 10:08 AM another edit: notice in 3ds max my lines on the texture are pixelated, that isn't the case in halo ce, so check it there too.  see not pixelated ingame, but my lines aren't all where they should be yet. get a good bit of practice with the unwrap uvw modifier and you'll have that sorted.
