HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

here is an xm8 that i have been working on for about 4 hours so far. it still neds a lot of work w proortioning and stuff. right now its at 2624 pollys (not fully optiomized) and is onle 3 seperate parts, the barel the body and the scope. im willing to take suggestions on what i should add on and the areas that i should smooth (i know a bout the lense neding to be smoothed)

as you can see the handel , trigger guard and many other things still need to be detailed. and a few thingsd need to be added.


edit at 11:30 eastern time here is an update of pics..!!!

looks pretty god. get a nice skin on it & it'll be perfect!

thanks scooby any suggestions... oh wel heres anouther pic.
enlarged pic..

Looks pretty nice! Fix up those damn out of shape areas on there though. It isn't hard to just fix those before you post. BTW you spend to many poly's on barrels and circular objects.

this model is beyond repair.

Harsh, but he knows his stuff. It would be fine if the front wasn't all crinkled.

Good effort though, you have all the right ideas but I suggest (again) you try a different method of modelling.

nice model but try to resize the image kind of takes up space
9/10 gj

Please resize the images, it is realyl annoying to scroll from left to right just to view a picture.

Also, worry about the skin only once the model is finished.

Yeah. Even though Mr. Crazy Modeller Man says it's busted, try really hard to fix that front before you consider starting again.

nice model but honestly it really isnt as close to a refernece pic as it could be.
though the XM8 is a great weapon to model, was my first and became so skrewed up from booleaning that i had to scrap it. now my new 1 is alot better

Yeah, boolean is evil. Although I have no idea still what to do instead. NEVER ask Katarn to explain anything, he's useless. JK.

Still. If he tried, I'm sure he could fix that.

ive already seen it in a map

the human one shoots bullets and has a grenade launcher

the alien one shoots plasma shots and shoots a fuel rod shot

What, an XM8?

y must everyone make this hidious gun ?

I think this gun looks pretty dang cool.

Muahahahaha! I can use boolean and not get errors! Muahahahahaha...

Boolean isn't evil if you know how to fix it. It's like a rogue kitten with extremely sharp claws until you de claw it. /random

You know, that came THIS CLOSE> |...| to being spam. The idea is that you comment on the model, not just the actual gun. I think it's a nice gun, the model is OK apart from the front. Once that gets fixed, it'll be great.

will you have a better comment when a nice well-developedo ne comes out?

it is a good model except for the front, but boolean is evil, i just use spline moddeling now, much much easier and gives my the control i want, besides, rampagin kittens with huge claws?? id rather use gloves and drown it rather than de claw it, much easier, then buy a new, calm, cute and coudly kitten, thats like bolleaning a model then finding out you could use spline modelling, ask me how to spline model and ill try and make a small tut, its so easy. besies gotta fix up that front. i say remake the front bit.

ok what is bollean and where is it and how do i use it ive never heard of it until this post

boolean is a tool that basically cuts one object out from another. Its a bit of a turd of a tool though, theres errors and it creates the ugliest geometry possible.
