HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Say nothing of the fact that I never complete anything and just base this on what you see:


I'm working on a new ship as a map. It will be docked to a station which someone else is designing.
The ship will hold one Draco and multiple longswords. I might make railguns as vehicles for it, but they will most likely just be there.
The ship is rather large in size and is currently about 700 polies.
It will have a full interior including the bridge and the docking bays (two) along with the umbilical entry.

EDIT:
Just for rossmum, here's the wire:

You can tell that the antennae in the front aren't actually part of it, they aren't final, I plan on lathing-up my own, those are just boxes.
The "room" you see in the bottom is the Draco docking bay.
Didn't want to reply after only getting one, so yeah...
EDIT:
oh yeah, and of course the letters aren't really part of it, I just wanted them there for something else and didn't want to bother making a texture.

Looks a hell of a lot less like a flying brick, still needs some work though. Get rid of the support struts for the engine heatshield and replace them with one big one in the centre. Also when it comes to the interior, add more details to it- pipes and power conduits running under floor gratings, along walls and ceilings, storage closets and compartments along the walls, computer terminals, stuff like that. And try get lots more details in the skin (I suggest you try and get a better video card so you can actually see bumps and stuff).

Wires please.

OH MY GOD FAB, you made my day. That thing OMG ROX. Honestly, you're the best thing that ever happened to CE and you're like a CE GOD. You should work for bungie. OMG I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO BE INGAME.

Hahahahahaha. Thread delivers.

Well, looks like you got the poly distribution right, unlike that snow vehicle thingy you made. Add some details to the outside but this time don't do whatever the hell you did with that to make it so high poly

sarcasm is used for a reason.
the modeling makes me sick, it's poorly made, and you didnt even try ti hide the non-flat faces with smoothing groups. you. fail.
a cube with extruded faces. gg.

Hey, it's better than the last one, so it's not allbad.

looks awesome
hows these for texture?
done in 5 minutes





suggestion:
have it so that when you hit the grenade button it spawns some sort of fighter with AI driving it
that would be good for SP

Be nice reaper, this model is far better then the draco. I think he did a really nice job.

I think the ship looks fine as is.

o.O



couldn't help myself >_<

Difference is, Reaper knows shit about modeling; you don't.

It's not really nice as shown so far, but it's better.

it's better than your draco by far, but i still see a lot of fucked up faces all over it. don't you know how to line your verts up correctly? you still have a lot to learn about modeling. the design overal is also lacking. it doesn't look very efficiently designed.

edit: wow, "fucked" isn't censored. i think the mods oughta fix that >__>

I fixed as many of them as I could, got it ingame with some placeholder textures:



And please, stop the "bacon's an egocentric noob" stuff. I got help with that a while ago...
Anyways, thanks for the positive comments, and also thanks for the constructive criticism. I fixed up most of the faces that didn't line up with some simple smoothing groups and the 'make planar' button, so hopefully it looks better. Only problems right now with the ingame one are as follows: The front window had to be removed because it caused an error, the windows are all see-through, which is rather funny, the inside is textured with the hull texture (easy fix, especially when you're me and the only things you model can be UVed with the UV Mapping modifier XD )

SnaF: didn't they turn off the censor about a week or so ago?

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and xbox, I used your texture allong with the POA-tile one for the name. I think I'll keep it, thanks for making it.

I can't believe you just said that....

FAB, that ingame pic looks decent. Maybe add in something along the lines of a hanger? Like if it is parked, there is at least a hanger to put some things in.
I mean, that's what it looks like it should have considering its size compared to the draco's... Unless that part at the bottom is a hanger lol. I can't really tell. And rossmum is right, it is better than the draco's design, but maybe try to make the ship more like a real unsc ship? It would be cool to see a frigate or destroyer in-game...

you really gotta reduce the window size. it throws the scale off quite a bit. other than that, it looks... "ok". very boxy still, although it's better than the draco. work on it some more. i don't know why your engines are so far appart. more material to use, more difficult to dock, i just don't understand it. also, unsc ships have thier bridges ventral side, not dorsal, for a reason.

Add maybe some external missile pods or turrets or something and some other details, that'd look much better.

much better, but i don't like the windscreens... very bland

I can't believet that you just said that you cant believe that I just said that I cant believe that katarn just said that.

I didn't quite catch the tone of his voice, the internet is slow at that

Cmon, it isn't all that bad really. Sure it needs more detail but it isn't like one of those "Liek zomg mai new furst map lel plz dlnd!".
I like Fleet Admiral Bacons maps though, they are not only cool but origonal.
