Re: Halo Photography
Pretty cool looking mod. Hopefully we can get some cool stuff going with the custom collision. Maybe somebody could finish hangem high port that they had going. If I remember right the problem they had was not having custom collision, so they had to use a bunch of machs, which is a difficult task.

Re: Halo Photography

Well that turned out well...All i have to do is add 4 more markers and attach them to nodes(left/right, bicep left/right thy)
Then comes the hard part...

Re: Halo Photography
Sorry, But What The Hell is that, why the hell would you add attachment chunks just to attach a bunch fusion coils to it???
You might as well just copy other the Health chunk from the fusion coil itself, then when you shoot him he would blow up just like one...
This is, unless you plan on making a fusion coil robot.

Re: Halo Photography
I suspect its more along the lines of biped attachments; like custom armour. The fusion coils probably serving only to show the location and orientation of the attachment markers.

Re: Halo Photography
Yea, I had an idea of using attachments to make a "Custom" biped, but it would be much work making models for all the attachments, plus, when adding attachment chunks it likes to kill the map...
Then, even in the end, it will look kinda creepy...
Really, it would just be easier to be able to inject bones and just make a real custom model, instead of a bunch of attachments and it would look better and move right.
Plus, I can't do any real modding till I get my .net working right.

Re: Halo Photography
Either;
a) your model is so0o0 fucked to hell the tangent calculations became corrupted (unlikely)
b) your bumpmaps is so fucked up it points in all directions (unlikely)
c) you injected the model using the non-PMI version of entity.
Oh and yea, that thing is way to big.

reference image above should help you scale it. Remember; you can always make it look bigger on the ground if visibility is an issue.

Re: Halo Photography
P90 still looks pretty bad, model needs more detail and the bitmap, the bitmap needs ALOT of work.

Re: Halo Photography
Umm i used the PMI build of entity and my bump map doesnt have bumps in all directions so i guess that it leaves the tangent issue... w/e im redoing it anyway cuz for some reason its not cooperating with me

Re: Halo Photography
After some time in 3ds Max, Photoshop, Entity, and Inception. My xbox pooped out this.

Model, bitmap and alpha map all done. Alpha map is used to trigger the specular parts of the shader.

Re: Halo Photography
I'm not sure how good it is, really, I dislike dark, but hes getting better through, less flaming/smart-ass...Alph wrote: is it not the possible for good snows on halo2? why people are say this is only good snows on the halo 2? is ther more halo2 snows moods?
But there is a few snow mods but the snow skins are not as good as that, plus there's some other little things he did to make it look better.
Dark is good in graphics, modeling, and effects, so hes good at making things look nice.
Hes more like a artist(of modding), so many things he does doesn't even have to be that modded, it can just look good the way he does it.
Don't know how much scene that made right there...
Also, Welcome To Remnant!

I pray you will forgive me, Mr. "JacksonCougar." I should have known better before typing in such an illegible manor. Perhaps there is something I can do to mend the wounds you have no doubt suffered?JacksonCougar wrote: Oh' and a not so friendly warning from the resident bastard.

Let me try again:
This picture looks amazing. It's a map I would love to play someday; however, being how it has yet to be released, I would like to find other snow mods. Given the responses this picture generated, I am lead to assume that this is the only worth-while snow skin to date. If this is indeed not the case, can one of you gentlemen kindly direct me to other snow-themed skins/mods, whether it be on this site or another site? I would rather enjoy putting together a little winter-time map pack for a good friend of mine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Alph

Re: Halo Photography
Unknown why dark needs to use inception for things entity can handle ;..; perhaps to poke 'zee shader then?
