Modeling and Rendering Thread

[NotZachary82]

Since this is the only modeling/rendering thread we have, I'll just post this here. I've been getting into sub-d modeling, and it really isn't that hard. I picked it up in a few days, and this is what I've been working on.


Not sure if I'll finish it, and this is definitely not going into Halo 2.

And what is that? a bike suspension? at least show things we can recognize, not models you just started, it think i haven't seen any model finished here (textures included) except from Dark, it sad :/

My apologies. I've looked at the original images so many times that I automatically know what it is. It's the Rocket Launcher in Halo: Reach, lol.

[neodos]

Ah i see, what will you guys model when there's no more new halos xD

Keep it up =P

[JacksonCougarMod]

Stuff from other games, lol.

[NotZachary82]

I like practicing with Halo's geometry. It's pretty simple stuff usually, but I think it's a bad habit to get into.

Small update.

[kronosslayer]

Nice!! rocket tubes from reach i take it. nice work.

[NotZachary82]

I fucked it up and restarted.


Sub-d pisses me off sometimes.

[neodos]

Didn't want to make a thread for this its not modeling but will be modeled

Original Halo 1 Prisoner map model:






Progress....



Its still a sketch, i have to fix some perspective issues and overall being able to distinguish the shapes which right now iisn't very well solved...

[NotZachary82]

Neodos that looks amazing. Please, please, please keep it up.

[CaptainPoopface]

My goodness Neodos, Prisoner looks fantastic!

Perhaps you could enlist Ogrish to help with the collision. He seems to be the king of Onyx + RTH. I would love to see this completed.


Also, I had to laugh at this:

[neodos]

Hehe thanks!

I will keep posting when I finish this one and paint another part of the map.

I have the collision boxes made on the 3D app, posted a picture a year ago, and XZodia will hopefully make an app that can write my boxes(exported into a text file) to the scnr mach placement.
So that will save me and Ogrish, the trouble of placing something around 200 boxes, with a set of 21 different sized boxes

Hope to see you more often on AIM Capt =)

[NotZachary82]

It looks very Cold Storage-ish, which had a Forerunner style that I was quite fond of. I do indeed look forward to the modeling progress.

I can haz? I haven't finished mapping the cubes but that would save so much time...

Also, as usual, looks epic neodos. Can't wait to see what you make of it.

[Eaton]

That looks awesome, like an official Bungie concept art.

[neodos]

Thanks for the comments, i wish Eaton i wish xD but it isn't that good, far from it ^^ hopefully i can get my hands on a "The Art Of Halo 3" book, which is now quite rare and expensive, i probably could learn a lot from that.

Yup i was looking at Cold storage screenshot when i started, prisoner on halo 1 also is forerunner =P i will eventually get more detail in the 3D version using textures i'll make, though i think cold storage is a bit overdetailed.

yes you can, when its done ^^ but i am exporting my boxes from 3D app called Softimage with a little script i made, you might need to create such script for whatever app you use.


Anyway here's where i am gonna stop with this sketch, i am gonna start modeling that part of the map, i might do some paint over my model while working on it to throw in some more intresting and complex shapes.

Link because forum is cutting it.

Thanks

Oh snap! i couldn't get you guys an actuall 3D view of the map, guess you'll have to wait with this!

ETA till death of DMR project: a few days

Id hate to see the Poly count on that.

No worries.

Model looks awesome.

[neodos]

Is that halo reach stuff? xD

Looking nice =)

Lol. Without turbosmooth it's already over 10,000.

Thanks. And yeah, it's more Halo shit that probably will never get finished, but I'm really trying. I'm getting some crit from a couple people and learning more about how to setup the wireframe and such.

10,000 * 5 = no moar h2

So begins another project
