HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

You can get it through Skylights and Omni lights (be sure to allow shadows, and fool with multipliers). Using differen rendering systems is also a good idea, probably a better one if you can get them. Making these "clay" renders with the soft shadows is easy in Brazil, or Brazil Rio (the f...

Awesome

Still curious how you acheive those nice holes without booleans... How do you line them up so perfectly vertex-by-vertex? Or do you do something different?

to Customize --> Preferences --> Viewports --> Configure Driver and tick there "Match blueprint..."

And that will make it look alot better quality.

Alright, thanks! Fixed it

Ok, I guess I'll start off :) I've got two questions. 1. Where do you find high quality side views of your weapons for references? I've been using Google and http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm but for some weapons I've had a lot of trouble finding big pictures that aren't on a strange angle. Any other ...

Nice models. http://tutorials.moddb.com/16/ <<<<-the only plane modeling tutorial i can find I've recently started downloading these (big downloads, but they are worth it) and they have been extremely helpful. He even makes a few mistakes (accidentally) that seem common, and explains how to fix them...

Is that not allowed?

I'd also like to know!


Great model, hope to see more of it.

Ok, I guess I'd do the same for circular details like screws on a gun? How would I go about positioning each vertex properly to create a circle?

I wasn't on any kind of poly budget, as I'm not planning on using it for anything except practice. And as I mentioned in the first post, I'm changing the scope, the one on it now is just something that took my fancy, not something that would ever be found on a P99. EDIT: What is the best way to add ...

Third gun model I've made, done with 3dsmax and rendered in brazil. Improvements to come: -I've noticed the rear sight peg thing needs to be wider or changed into a double peg, I couldn't catch it on my original model. -I've also noticed the silencer (at least the inner part) needs to be downsized. ...

Nice stuff. What techniques do you use to add minor details? Do you add details after creating the base of the weapon, or do you add them in while creating it with the use of insert vertex tools and such? If after, how do you do it? This is one of the few things I'm finding difficult. I know of vari...

Its pretty nice, but the whole middle part looks like a couple rectangles stuck together This is really out of place, since the whole rest of the model looks nice and round, and then it goes right to boxyness.

And boy, you gave us enough angles

=O Wow, awesome concepts, and pretty great modeling. And DAM! That was fast...

Can't wait for your next model Great designs.

Cool, wanna teach me how to UV map? XD

Nice modeling. Alot better than the old one..

Its ok. The shapes are kinda simple, the wireframe isn't very clean and it looks like it will have alot more faces that it should..

but what if in trying to skin a new model that is not in halo yet?? I dont think you can.Try Halo CE,alot better for making and skinning new weapons Lol, Halo CE can't skin or make weapons for you :roll: And you CAN skin a model that doesn't have to do with Halo (Like OMG?! I never would have guess...

The model is ok. Screws, the small hole and the lump should have been left out for texturing, they are just sitting their using up polys..

I like the detail above the handle though.. Did you use booleans?
And wireframes, please?


Lol, your first skin? You just stole it from the ref..

Just an alpha channel?

1. Go to window > channels
2. Make a new channel
3. You have created an alpha channel.

OJ? Orange Juice? Never heard of that colour..

The skins are ok, nothing to die for.. The banshee is ok though - it looks kinda like the text from lotr..

If you used 3ds to make it, how do you get the lines on the model as it renders (not just in viewport)?

Ok model, the lines are kind of annoying though. And it looks really, really unfinished.. It gives a whole new meaning to WIP
