Halo 2 Flak Cannon

Post by EchoRanger449 »

I'm using l33t's Halo 2 Flak cannon-
The first person consists of 2 models- l33t did one.
So using the FP model for 3rd person won't work right. Anyone want to try and make one? If not, I'll try myself.

go into hht and swap the third person view for the first person view. it will solve your problem.

i have a question regarding the Plasma Cannon, i don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but on BG, the Plasma Cannon which i believe is the Fuel Rod Gun, has the look of the Halo 2 Fuel Ron Gun, it is tan instead of Purple, idk if this is just me, or what but i thought it was weird.

I can't do that with this type of model- the FP model is split into two, l33t only did half of it.

I'm currently trying to model the fuel rod gun's "overhang" section (overhangs and goes along both sides of the fuel rod's nozzle). the reason it's harder with the 3rd person model is because the part of the gun at the tip of the Fuel rod is solid.

The green outline is the space for the "electric lights" model-section I took out (the H2 version doesn't have these lights). The red circle is the result. I have to reshape it a bit before i "attach" it to the rest of the gun.

I've made a few models, but modeling is not one of my skills- if you think you can model it using my current one or if you want to start off with your own, please reply! I have more important things to do on this mod than model.

No It's Purple, look for the skin named Plasma Cannon, you'll find your purple one.

What you saw was a skin that was never used, and that was the tan one that appears in Halo 2. Foreshadow Maybe?

Let's not get off topic.

Anyone willing to help me out?

the "lights" at the tip of the gun will be skinned to match the rest of the gun...and I'll cancel out their shaders as well.

Also, the floating pieces are there in case I can use them somewhere in the model later.
