HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

there may be a way to lower the standards of the final product so that it's only one webcam, and a certain color or light is present in the webcam's view. then, maybe there's a way to craft a program to place a 2d image on the color spot (like, you hold up a white cd, and the program places a 2d im...

Wow this is definatly more complex than I anticipated. And I actually started planning a year early just because I thought it would be, but now it's starting to seem way out there, so much that I'd never be able to get it together in time (nor am I even that techonologically savvy).

Yeah, it's Motion Capture. I've done a little research and yeah, this stuff is expensive. But the way I figure it, I could drum up a ghetto motion capture set myself with materials in my Shop if I really need to, I just don't know how it all works (or further, how it's really made). I'll Google some...

Next year will be my senior year in High School, and in my High School, to graduate we are required to make a "Senior Project" that reflects on our shop classes. The critiria for my shops "Senior Project" (my shop being: The Acadamy of Manufacturing and Pre-Engineering) is we hav...

I don't think I understand. I'm modeling this off my buddy's guitar and the edges look vertical to me. Can you provide a picture to better explain what you're talking about? You may be right and I may be just thinking about something totally different. the edges are supposed to be visually vertical...

[cc]z@nd! wrote:my guess as to the tool he uses is probably extrusion, chamfering, beveling, cutting, slicing, deleting polys, making new polys, moving vertices, etc. lots of stuff. that's my guess, though, so you'd best listen to him.

Mostly the creating, deleting and moving vertices, but yeah.

Definatly an electric guitar. (not sure what concave means )

Yeah, but it looks cool. And it's even cooler for me because I'm holding the guitar I'm modeling right in my hands.



I think when I finish, I'll take a picture of the real thing and put the picture and model together to see how it looks .

Update.

The positioning of everything isn't exactly the way I want it, but roughly it's slowly coming together.

Yeah you can find tutorials for that here on HaloMods somewhere.

I think Viggy is a cooler name that God, but meh.

Thanks for the comments

Yeah I wasn't sure how to start this one so I just laid out vertices and plaid connect the dots, then improvised to get what I have now.

I'll be working on this one more today when I get home from school.

I was taking a break from working on that Elite model and I was playing my guitar (it's not technically mine, I'm borrowing this one because mine is busted). Then I opened up Gmax and started modeling. Well, this is what I've got so far: This is the base of the guitar (no material applied). The basi...

Oh wow, you're right, they do go in.

I was only looking at the side view in the cutscene, hard to tell I guess. Thanks for the input.

UPDATES: I'm very happy with how the muscles are turning out. The back, chest, arms, are all more defined. I actually went back to redo the hands so they look quite different now. A bit wider, more defined/detailed and flow more naturally into the wrist and further to the arm. I also started the tee...

Check out Yayap.com, they have tutorials for rendering all over. I'm sure they'll have something about lightmapping and what not.

EDIT: Shweet by the way. Elite's pwn.

I gotta keep a better eye on the threads I make... lol, i haven't been on the computer for a day and an argument already shot up. Yes this is custom. The way I did it started with me wanting the model of an unarmored elite (becuase that is the beginning of another project) and I once had that (extra...

Okay using the HaloPC elite model and the unarmored Arbiter from cutscenes of Halo2, I've been attempting to model myself a somewhat decent unarmored Elite. I know it's not perfect and it is unfinished (no teeth or eyes yet, and the muscles are not the way I quite want them). But other than that, so...

(((oops, wrong thread )))
