This animation set that you have conceived is so beautiful that actually posting this makes me cry. From the reload concept and the effective placement of reload sounds to the use of already-present skins on the modeling of the inside of the Needler, it all works so perfectly, and it would be a sin to dispose of it entirely... *wink, wink*
As painful as it is to revoke your work, here goes.

In accord with the physiological structure of the weapon, in reference to the original animations, and in response to your asking for suggestions, I have come up with this:

Hmm.. maybe I'll make a needler v3 based on the suggestions posted here.

Sorry, the "magazine port" isn't really an opening if you look at the model in Milkshape, and beside's the cyrstal seems too big to be injected and transferred through there...

l33t's animations just make more sense...

The magazine port isn't really an opening, boo-hoo. Neither are the bores of any of the weapons, or pretty much anything else that is supposed to be an opening in just about any GBX model you find in Halo. The reason there is no cavity in the model is to save polies, smart one.

Dude! That's not a render! That's a conglomeration of the pictures originally posted by L33T. It's not to scale, and it was never meant to be, it's only for making a point. All it is is an abstract example that I made in Microsoft Paint.

No they don't. Not with the original animations. Maybe the bottom opens.

nope. polar bear revieled the true animations...he just shakes it..nothing happens.

Bungie probably did the reload partially off-screen specifically so they didn't have to go in detail with it, they had to get the game out as quick as they could to be in time for the release of the X-Box, the deadline cut a lot of stuff out.
That MSPaint file that I posted is probably the most logical approach.

Yeah, but L33T's animation just looks L33Ter. Either way it won't match up with Bungie's rediculous animation, and this way is just cool.

... you have to understand I didn't make this based on accuracy, but rather creativity.

BUT

How does the needler work?

IT JUST DOES!
I cna answer both...
A. Caused by the refraction of light by molecules in the air.
B. My assumption would be that it takes the hardened needler pod, superheats it with a blast of a power, uses a gravity engine to force the needles up the needler slots, and lets them flash cool.

You are wise in the ways of the jedi...

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:29 am

Actually DoorM4n probably has the best answer so far..

In other words, make the animations however the hell you want them.
