Hay everybody, how you guys been . I have been working on this thorn beast for a quite while now, I have finished up the model. Okay so first of all what is the Thorn Beast? for those who don't know what it is the Thorn Beast was meant to be in original halo game but bungie decided to cut it out because it didn't looked right during gameplay because the creature had so many problems with moving and attacking. Well let's hope we don't find any problems with this one otherwise I am going to rage and cry in the corner xD.

Okay right now I am focusing on finishing up the animation.

Here are the screenshots of the Thorn Beast








credits:

Thanks to SS flanker for making a good low poly for me.


Here are the list of animations that's already in the game.

standing animation

running animation

attacking animation

other animations are still working in progress....


How fast is the thorn beast?

1) I don't know what's the speed but I do exactly know that it runs fast same as the hunter and it will easily trap you down.

Does it attack?

2) It will only charge at you if you don't leave the creature alone.

When there is going to be a beta testing?

3) There will be a public beta once I finish up the animations.

Did you made all of this from scratch?
4) yes




As you guys can see this is all working in progress once I finish up this model I will try my best to make a normal maps for it so that you will able to see his details just like the High poly one.

Now I got to start focusing on the collision model.

Pictures are not working.

I'd assume with it's muscular rear leags that the thorn beast may mimic the movement and approach of our very own ostrich seen below.

So cute

I got collision compiled working successfully but I still can walk through the thorn beast.

Raise the bousing radious in Guerilla.

Okay will do. But what number do you think it should be?

I was copying the hunter radius still no luck.

But I will try others.

amazing dinosour of the halo prototype

is not a really final yet.

Texture will also be changed.

You will change the texture.

Captain obvious of course he will change it.

The bounding
radius determines how far away you can see the object. By setting the
value, you’re determining how far away the object will be visible. In other
words, it won’t disappear if you walk a step back from it, but it also won’t
be using precious memory resources if you’re far enough away.

Try a value between 0 - 30.

That's not how collision works for bipeds. You need to edit these values (as I already showed to sshers4....)

Also, to edit bounding radius, in Sapien enter "debug_objects 1" and you will see the bounding spheres for every object. The object should be inside bounding sphere.

Oh whoops I stand corrected. I was thinking about a scenery object.

ok i got good news and bad news

bad new is flanker i will have to make low optimization again but the good new is the thorn beast texture is finished now it looks more a lot like E3 2000.

Thanks to bungie for these textures.

OH my gawd that looks freaky creature Wtf.

I don't understand how u got those textures from bungie.

He probably used textures from the EK.

Yes I notice that the leg texture looks a lot from the concept.

I had to copy the textures.

after rigging send max files and textures to me.

Nice texture.

This is best thorn beast so far out at all of them.

Excuse me who is mega Sean?

This guy



http:// http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=userInfo&viewUserID=19696


Megasean been treating Sshers like crap when he joined VKMT.

Sshers made that model for VKMT and yet they treat him like an animal.

One of the members from VKMT told me that mega been saying dirty stuff to him.... I saw the chatlog.

I feel bad for him

Idk but he seems a nice guy.

Sean is not using him he just supporting him with his model really.

I agree with you. He doesn't seem a bad person what if Sshers4 said something to him and he didn't liked it.

Don't want to talk about this folks.


About joining CMT I'm not ready yet.

I talked to sshers about simplygon over PM. And I think its a nice model. And yes I already apologized to sshers for being an asshole. Even though he was kicked off VKMT for a reason...

why am i even trying when you guys and your 100 other accounts are gonna find another silly excuse.
Edited by MEGASEAN2812 on Mar 24, 2015 at 07:50 PM

Exactly guys there is no need for this. He apologized you know.

One question Sean, when there is going to be a tutorial for simplygon?

I might not work on it because there really isn't anything in particular you need to do for halo and I'm using different optimization methods.

Ohhhh I see. Yes flanker did made a tutorial how to optimize it but all of the 3ds max versions don't work really well including 3ds max 8 that only works fine on my pc.

And flanker uses 3ds max 2014 in the video and that doesn't work for me at all.
