Modeling and Rendering Thread

Thanks guys!

Well I included the 3D render on the email as a link to image shack and the rest in the zip file (forgot to put this in the zip) but it looks like they chose the drawing.

So here's the rest:

That's awesome. Put it in Halo 2.

[neodos]

Yeah I might, I am making the low poly version right now

Did you get dat terrain generator done? :p

[XZodia]

Been working on it this week, still am...

I has realtime reflections/refractions...

[Ogrish]

Good job!

I love it.

Kinda like a pilots helmet.

[DoorM4n]

Neodos that is godly!

[neodos]

Thanks glad you like it ^^
I am trying to get it into halo 2 at the moment, PMI models is a pain, though almost there

Do you guys know any good way to make the masterchief's helmet invisible? I am currently attaching my custom helmet to the "head" maker, I tried scaling down the "head" node and it does shrink the head but the neck as well and that is a problem

[XZodia]

Make the parent node -1

Poor effort neodos, I believe it was you who replaced MC's head with a skull?

Setting the parent node to -1 doesn't work(moves the head/neck stretching the vertices all across the map and messes the camera) also it was Turk who made the ghost rider mod and many very cool attachement mods.
I posted some screenshots of attachements but never made the head disapear.
If you don't have any idea that works i'll keep on my "poor efforts"

Thanks though

[XZodia]

well you could just add the neck to your model...

[NotZachary82]

Set the head LODs to -1.

[Click16]

Set the head LODs to -1.

No, wrong, change them to 0.

[NotZachary82]

No, 0 is a low-detail variant of the arms, troll.

[Click16]

No, 0 is a low-detail variant of the arms, troll.

depends on which peice is the helmet, supposing that the helmet is index 0, that's what you would set it to.

[neodos]

Woot works like a charm (-1 worked), the neck is still there, just like I wanted, thanks a lot.

Now just need to figure out how to save in dds P8 for the bump map in order to get a decent shading.

ohh i didn't know he was trying to null the existing helmet xD srry zach.

also, ugh you should just use entity UE for now, it is pretty much the only bump map injector.

[NotZachary82]

You could save it in DXT1 format, since most camo-bumpmaps use that format (they work exactly the same).

[XZodia]

Amazing what can be achieved with a few textures...

[troymac1ure]

Looks really impressive.

Not sure if you need to clamp your Skybox textures to get rid of that seam or maybe just mirror your clouds?

[DoorM4n]

Looks really impressive.

[Ogrish]

[neodos]

I hope you plan to put that ingame, looks pretty sweet!
