Hey Ogrish, are you using Onyx for collision for those massive boulders? How are you managing that?

Re: Official Halo 2 Modeling and Rendering Thread
That map was more art and eye candy, i make alot of maps like this, it helps when im stressed and need to invest in some unreality
Now that i stopped drinking i cant use that to null my sences, so i rip stuff from maps, add some models and place it under a tasty sky.
I always take pics, so i can see the map from different points of view, sometimes i share those pics, sometimes i give everything collision, and run around the map just to find i hate how it plays, and i would have to move many collision boxs and edit models and blah blah blah oooops delete!
Sorry about the short story long.
Those boulders started out with 1-2 boxs of collision, then i had like 4-6 each, but it was sloppy and sniping wasnt fun at all.
So i knew i would have to start over, and be more precise and i knew then it wasnt going to happen.

Both models look awesome. Keep em coming.

Re: Official Halo 2 Modeling and Rendering Thread
That first one is the most original. The second one looks too close to the Commando helmet, and the last one looks like a mix between the default Mark V helmet and Kat's helmet. Awesome job nonetheless. I may give this a shot as well.

Looks awesome. Definitely could be a pilot's helmet of sorts. It'd be cool if you made the page on this week's update.

Thanks =) yeah perhaps a little like the pilot, wasn't my intention though.

That is a program written in C++ with OpenGL by me.
