might as well start asking


is there anyone here willing to MAP this Covenant Elite?

i would ask toonces but ive troubled him enough and he doesn't deserve more ####s =OD

so we need someone who can map good...and with the stolen yoda model...im not sending it to some new mapper or someone thats posts below 25 times...i don't want this stolen

so if u can map player models and are RESPECTABLE of the forums we'd really appreciate it

Since I'm stupid when it comes to creating anything like this I have to pass, sorry I wasn't much help.

I can start working on that, but I'm warning you, the poly count may be way up, but I'm sure with a little help from some people that I can pull it off. This is my way of saying thanks for making the Elite model.

No no no, I can't map, I was telling Agent that I would make a Guilty Spark model for him and you for making this amazing model.

Well, for not being able to move like he should.. he's loking good.. a couple of issues.. His neck is a little too straight upward...(I realize most of that is due the human frame/pose he's "stuck" in. (The picture in the game's manual is about as upright as an actual Elite can get) and the top of his head should still be a little higher.. Are his arms long enough to prevent clipping in Red Stance? As for the Hunter.. I'm not sure you could get him at full heigth.. maybe a "hybrid" mini Hunter?.. The Human Flood can be done pretty easy as a skin, or just a remodeling of a standard humanoid model with "bits" and lumps.. As for an Elite Flood... that's a pretty serious undertaking, with the floppy "head" and all.. I would LOVE to see a Grunt model.. ROFL.. Just hearing "NO MORE" on a decapitation would make it worth it.. How are you guys going to implement dual bipartite symmetrical cheek/jawbones? If you're going to get super ambitious.. you could just release a "Halo Pack" (But then you'ld have to have seven models to match the sacred number ;) ) A Cortana skin with Jan would be stupid easy to do... If you guys find a skinner.. Why don't you ask IN the skinning section, and pick from the best person who wants to?

people still don't get things do they? =OP

#1just because a model has something a normal human doesn't, doesn't mean it WONT work..the floppy head will work..will it bob and move?...no..itll just be a part of the head..very simple to do

#2........read=OP...we ARE making a Halo Pack.........HMP=Halo Model Pack =OP

#3.......if u watched the video of the old version of Halo, where the marines infiltrate a covenant outpost and all of them die except one...ull see he gets chased down and the Elite stands over him and talks to him before Master Chief shoves the beam sword through his heart

if u look...he talks like a normal human...yes he has 4 mandables but to talk in english he moves both lower jaws at the same time...so that wouldn't be a problem

#4 the hunter...as i said in #1...it will work

#5i wasn't insulting u..just telling u =O)

try google.com's image search

Personally, against PIo's wishes, I'd probally send the models for ppl to skin...
I'm a polycounter, we're used to giving out SDKs for people to rip apart:d
Only thing i'll release it as a 3ds so you can all have fun with it skinning (any ambitous fool could easily strip a root.xsi and map each vertice which I plan to do to the best detail i can get, and release it, but that'd be a waste imho..)

Anyway I'm going idle for a day or two to finish some school work and I'll be back into modelling:d

Cya on the other side

As for a HALO model pack, I've thought about it, wth why not?

Hunter and all that? easily makeable.

The challenge to me is not making the model just finding damn refrence pics:p

I was REALLY thinking of making my own blah model but im sticking with halo, I'm going to find someone in there to do
most likely a grunt;)
Bring it on yoda !!!... "no more!!"
..


I was also REALLY going to MODEL the guns as well, but I haven't messed with the gun system yet, it looks just like quake3's format, tag barrel and flash, but i have no idea how any of it works, I'll figure it out.. i hope?..err..ok bye bye

if anyone can help me with how JK2 handles guns it'd be most appreciated :D

If it is finsihed could we add my Guilty Spark model to the Halo Pack? I'm working on it, the angle seem weird but when I'm done I could send it to someone for finshing touches.

That would be odd, he has no arms to hold the saber, he floats, he's small, these could be major problems...:eek:

Actually that would be amazing, do it!
all the body would be weighted to say, pelvis, heh, and the lightsaber etc would..just appear...

:)

theres no "bolt_weapon" (but there are bolt_l_hand etc..hrmm) so that the thing could appear there..

really send it my way if you can at least:)
alpha11@tampabay.rr.com

another neat thing would have guilty spark and a small stick man figure body under it:p

There you go, I sent it so you can finish it, it's only the general shape. I'm a n00b modeler though so it sucks.

I must say, this is one of the more ambitious models on display in this forum. I'm impressed that people are willing to try to work around the limitations of things like bone structure animation. I can't wait until this is done, I've always wanted to play as one of the Covenant in any game.

God damn nice job heh, i'll touch it up and make them seperate objects, send me both, get on IRC and get me something to eat:d

I would ask Arco, or sithlord II (through Arco) or MisterPunch.. but only after the model is completely finished AND tested...Arco has an awesome touch with transparencies that would serve the Elite Well.. I would go for Word and Will(black) and gold for Default, and of course Red/Blue for TFFA/CTF...
 PIo Koon
07-24-2002, 7:31 PM

we were planning on having different variations of the model

4 tip

Gold, Red, Blue

4 tip 2

Black/Ops, Cloaker Blue, and Green(new kind)

Round head

Gold, Red, Blue

Round Head2

Black/Ops, Cloaker Blue, and Green(new kind)


or something like that

also i was planning on asking Bradfu if he wanted to skin the Elite but i think he said he doens't know how to use shaders...so ill check the ones u mentioned

also...ive just begun development of a NEW kind of Covenant Elite...that no one will expect ;)

if u want a hint...Zero: Stolen Property, the now dead Halo MOD(that i headed up) of C&C Renegade..thats all i will say

Never saw that, so I wouldn't know in the least... =/

I formally volunteer for testing. I'm sure Sebulba Dug wouldn't mind either..lol Green? What's the significance? Or do you guys just like that color? ;)

If I could have any color, I would take Brown Armor with Yellow Skin. :D

Have you guys talked to menemeth about the Plasma Sword?
 PIo Koon
07-24-2002, 7:54 PM
#134
Beam Sword =OP...and he said he was making one but he hasn't talked to me about it at all..so i dunno

and green because we need another color..and green would look cool =O)

You might ask misterpunch.. but I would be EXTREMELY tactful, seeing as how he's working on two other models right now.. but his Plo Kloon is INSANELY well done.. I would think he would be the guy for the job.. if he's not busy.
