Brain candy indeed, idk if i need any tagging help but i'll xfire you if i require any assistance.

what u do is take a projectile thats similar to what you would want (the sentinel beam) and then modify the properties of it, like the contrail and such....

it does look very nice, i hope to see it in map when done. Yay now not only CMT will have one.

im doing the pickup icon, reticle, firing effect, projectile, animations and particle effects.

LOL thanks tarzan (i like my factory Finish) yeah i see what you mean I'm gonna touch up the texture a little but more anyway, and i did the bumps so I'll post some pics soon....

Yea, some people manage to drop it, usually for something stupid, like a smg or a RL. Or to keep it from the Grim Reaper What retards... Sometimes its in shock cuz of the girl 2 ft away... Lol

Looks nice. I don't think its quite that big though. But it looks so good, it makes up for that.

It actually is that big, maybe a little longer even. Its very close though. I wish I had recorded videos of it....

Make it just a bit longer and it is perfect.

I find it about perfect, just needs a little wear and tear, like I said, people drop it so the Grim Reaper cant go on a rampage....

i appreciate all the feedback, make sure you download my map too. one of the versions will include the spartan laser.

seeing as CMT won't share their stuff.....will you?

yes i will share, but just not on halo maps. I now see why CMT wont give there stuff away, but i refuse to guard them relentlessly, so if you want the tags, just xfire me and we'll talk. I just don't want ppl who have some crappy map idea, and decide they should cover up its flaws with a spartan laser or a few spikers.

Looks really nice. Can we have a wireframe for great justice?

lol yeah i'll get some more pics soon. i also heard that kenny is doing halo 2 weapons? is that true

i like it 100% as is. It really does give that feel of a powerful weapon. That will give someone the "oh frick" moment when they see it pointing at them.

Thats easy. Make a bunch of markers behind the player named lunge, and make the melee effect push you from those markers. I learned from some map with a sword, I had ripped it and imported it into Max, and there was lke 20 markers behind the player.

I was working on a spartan laser and spiker.

My HALO 3 Anouncement Map includes the laser and an old version of my spiker. I have re-done the spiker model now.

speaking of which i saw the CMT's new revamped spartan laser, its pretty much perfect. But i refuse to let that stop me....

damn their SPv2 keeps looking better and better.

*sigh* yeah

I actually dont like their laser... Ball of light shows up for the last second of charging, and not before.... Among other things...

Don't let this lil kiddie ripper fool you. It's all CMT's work. He wasn't even smart enough to rip from the most recent released maps. Rofl. I think you all need a reminder of what happened to hogdriver.

are you kidding me? they look alot different. i respect CMT, masters, but dont make me change my mind. just cuz u made a lazer doesnt mean that we cant make a good one too. ur not the only kickass halo ce people

in a way it does look the same, but there are things that are different, its also most likely it will be the same because you both have made the same gun

The skin is the exact same thing, except his has been made grey, look for faded paint spot, as well as lines that are exactly the same.

The model is slightly different. the top part of it which rises up is lower down in his, the support beam is missing well. check the overall shape, also exactly the same.

Further proof, look at the lower part of the barrel. You see a line on both ours and his that needs more smoothing.

Also, look on the first page. It has the same detail that covers our whole bitmap. No doubt in my mind that this is ripped. Take a picture of a wireframe of the model, and also post a pic of the skin.

OK, hi, Dane here, Lead texture artist for CMT.


Masterz linked me to this page, and due to the incomprehensible amount of stupidity, I was forced to sign up here, just to correct you all.

This gun is ****ing ripped.

Ok, wanna see why?

Look at the detail. OK, now if you knew anything you'd know that Scooby, the original skinner made a light sponge detail filer on the gun. That exact same detail is present on this gun, in the exact same place. Down to the very pixels. Coincidence, no.

Notice the highlighted details. Accentuated, in the exact same places. Coincidence, no.

Notice the light scuff marks on the gun. in the exact same plaes. Coincidence, no.

The model differences are minute. When ripping the skin, and model, they obviosuly didn't get the uv's with the model, so they were forced to re uvw it.

BADLY.
Look at the handle. A skin would not turn out like that if you unwrapped and skinned properly. However, If you applied a PRE EXISTING skin to a model, that is the result.

Ok, notice the way the barrel was drawn. funnily enough, Scooby didn't actually initally skin the barrel correctly. It was one thing I always hated. The colours were not correct and the coloured parts weren't in the right place. This was because he had only 1 reference picture when makin the gun, when the leaked magazine screens were released last year.

That exact same design error is present here. With the exact same colours, and the exact same amounts of high light and shading.



Now, you may ask "but CMT's has Text on it and it has slight different details"

Well, that is because about 2 months ago, Masterz asked me to fix up Scoobys skin, so it looked better. I darkened the skin, upped the contrast, drew in the warning labels and the GALILIEN text.

If you people had any sort of eye, or a brain, you would see that despite the obvious desaturation on the grey, this is a rip of the old skin, from an old beta map before I edited the skin to what it is now.

Wan't proof?

Ok, post "your" spartan laser's diffuse texture (the ****ing skin) and I'll post the one I have.

Now what are the odds of 2 completely different people unwrapping a weapon in the exact same placement, and painting it the exact same way, down to the pixel.

I'd say pretty un ****ing likely.


Also, for the people spurting stupid things like "well if you work on the same project they're going to look the same"

you people need to get a grip and let go of your dick for 5 seconds. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

ALL of the detail on scoobys, was ARTISTIC LICENSE, meaning:

He didn't copy Halo 3's Spartan Lasers detail no where ****ing NEAR exactly. He just put random scuff marks in places he'd feel, they'd appear. As I would also do.

Now why the ****, has this one got the exact same scuff marks and scratches in the exact same places. I'm not talking about the edge cuts. I'm talking about the large scrapes on the side of the gun.


THere is no mere coincidence. THIS many coincidences on the SAME weapon in the SAME game in the SAME community is no mere series of coincidencies. It's plagorism. Idiots.

you guys can argue all you want but to me it does look like different models. But then again since they are the same type of weapon they would of course look very alike. Same way how almost all the battle rifles in Halo CE all look the same

but the fact is we need proof that they are the same model, you can't tell that by looking at the skin at least i can't. We need images of the models in wireframe, that would tell i think.

But anyhow i thought CMT protected their maps and i doubt many know how to get around that protection.

and you can't call plagorism really. I mean technically your doing the same thing, your creating something that already exists in the first place, so it's not really your original idea. Basically it's like if you were at school if someone wrote a paper and turned it in and then now your remaking that paper, it's pretty much the same thing.

But i agree if it is the same model then yes doom on him, everyone should have their work be respected. If he riped it from a CMT map then this will piss me off.

untill i see proof i will just keep wondering.

LOL


That is the CMT AR I skinned.

Now your stealing from me?


This just got personal.



M6Deep, your a no good sack of **** loser. No amount of ****ty brushes can cover up the skin I spent 2 weeks paintingt, from scratch. I know the thing like the back of my hand. That is MY ar. See that dark incet sctratch on the side of it? Me. Not bungie.

One thing you didn't realise, retard is that I even put my ****ING NAME along with a personal symbol representing myself and my girlfriend on the back of the gun's handle.

Idiot. ****ing theif.
Edited by D4NO on Jul 7, 2007 at 01:36 PM

well techinally arn't you stealing the idea from Bungiee lol, so if we really look at it then "everyone is stealing from everyone"

of course thats if you look at it techinally.

Errr Danes AR skin has nothing in common with the h3 AR's.

Retard, of course I took some sort of influence from the halo 3 AR, but really, it was just a higher res Halo 1 AR.

How DARE you say "well your stealing bungies idea" I was painting something I wanted to. No durh its bungies idea. I never ever said it was mine. I was merely painting a higher resolution version, for our mod. I wasn't passing it off as my own IP. How dare you take the side of the person who theived my hard work.


One thing he can never steal, is my skill. So ****ing eat **** and die faggot loser thief.



Observe, the middle structure of my first map.

I have modelled that, and hand painted, and designed in photoshop every single texture, bump map, everything. No bungie textures or any other textures other than my own are being used in this map. The wall patterns are depicting the death of my little sister this year. This is a memorial.

Faggots like you will never ever steal what holds close to me in this. How DARE you.

Just thought i'd rub in how much faggots like you will never learn to create anything remotely artistic in your life.


btw, my map isn't NEAR finished yet. That is only the ground map you can see there. I can't apply detail maps to a ground map with alpha channels in Maya.
