MIDFALL

Gavel · Post by **Gavel** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 11:14 pm

I didn't call anyone a 'noob' OR a 'newb'. I said hate it when a newb (as in, new person) makes an entirely effortless map, by simply fliping a box inside out and moving some vert's around. I mean, take some time to experiment, and learn some techniques!

Two major pet peeves:

A 'model' (/sarcasm) made out of a bunch of primitives clustered together.

A box with vertices moved around.

I don't mean to insult you, I intend to make something at least decent.

I have a horrible temper, and most of the time I find a load of crap out here on the internet that blows my gasket. I haven't used the forums in a while, I am out in California with my cousins using their computer. This computer uses a 56k connection and loading web pages is a major hassle.

Having to wait for a fricking web page to load thne havin to load several seperate pictures is damm insane. This computer uses AOL to >_<.

I try to avoid dumb threads with my pet peeves in them but this one jsut sets me off.

Well, like he said its his first doesn't mean he's going to release it he just wants some help along with it, he'll get better with time

one of my favorite maps was basically a bunch of boxes put together with hall ways:

1 yes this is my first map, 2 how else d you make an outdoor map? 3 they arnt crappy renders just crappy quality
if you want a better pui il go goet ya 1 itl be smaller but a .png so it will have high quallity and 3 trillion collors edit: its actually 381 trillion collors

[users]soccerbummer1104 · Sat Jun 11, 2005 4:07 pm

well sry i cant actaully post that high quallity of a puc here because its 20 mb
so heres a good old jpeg

and i wouldnt be callin me a newb at modelin
you might have heard of me as bbfbadbrad look at these and tell me im a newb and mean it and if you do mean it sho me a better br that youve mad e or a better smg that youve made http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=32350

heres a wireframe of the map

its a lil more complex than a box w extrusions its has an undergroung storage facility at the blue base (the one on the left of most of the renders up a lil higher)

[users]soccerbummer1104 · Sat Jun 11, 2005 4:21 pm

soccerbummer, i think you're doing quite alright with this.

as for patrick and gavel, i haven't seen anything great from either one of you guys, so, just really sit out when it comes to advice on modeling, ok? thanks. the optimize modifier isn't so great. really it isn't. you should never have to apply an optimize modifier. sometimes it creates errors, it screws up smoothing groups, etc etc. so just don't come this way spouting what little knowledge and attitude problems you have.

soccerbummer, keep up the ce mapping. i think you'll definately improve.

we are giving him advices.Neither i have seen something special from you

SnaFuBAR · Post by **SnaFuBAR** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 4:36 pm

oh really? last stand, the core, vietnam, other maps i'm doing, installation 07, weapons, new vehicles i'm doing as well. so don't mouth off when you don't know what you're talking about. go sit down in the corner with your duncecap.

"wholy **** apply optimize modifier" doesn't qualify as advice nor constructive criticism.

you bought the core out?viatnam was crashing for me and wasn't pretty much modeling around if it is the one with an helicopter.There were so many vientnam mods

SnaFuBAR · Post by **SnaFuBAR** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 4:46 pm

i didn't "bought the core out" i started it. i modeled it. vietnam crashing for you isn't my fault. i make good terrain meshes. that project fell apart due to most of the team leaving.

anyways. my point stands. i hope to see this project completed.

me too so lets help him together or we won't help him at all

i suppose. i think it's coming a long good though.

in some areas where it's just flat and you have more than 1 poly, delete the faces and do "create polygon" and click each vertice in counterclockwise motion to make one face. you can also target weld verices.

On some spots you can apply the optimizer cause you won't notice any difference and you won't get error when done right

[users]soccerbummer1104 · Sat Jun 11, 2005 6:19 pm

i just spent a lil time optimizing it and cut it down to 2898 pollys for the map.

SnaFuBAR · Post by **SnaFuBAR** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 6:28 pm

gj on the optimizing. post up a regular render of it so we can see what you got

nice start on the map
and snaff is a very good modeler he just chooses not to post his stuff cuase people like you pat think your the best modeler and give picky little crits that you cant even fix. so if you can do it dont tell someone else to do it

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Sat Jun 11, 2005 6:44 pm

i never said i was the best.I'm one of the worst modeler ever.but i know how to get stuff ingame so i'm just giving advice of what to pay attention to get it good ingame without poblems
