Custom Halo Weapons Pack

Post by Silas »

Well, computergeek and I decided to make a weapons pack based on Halo's models, and this post has my contribution to the pack. I think we have about 2/3 of the models at least started, and some are textured. Here's mine:

Rocket Launcher (needs tweaking and texture)

Shotgun (just needs to be put ingame)
Hidden/Spoiler:
Image
Bubble Shield Emitter (needs textured)
Hidden/Spoiler:
Image
Scorpian Tank(needs details added and a texture)
Hidden/Spoiler:
Image
I'm also going to include my magnum and battle rifle, which i think i've posted on GT already. I'm still going to continue making a few more, maybe the Beam Rifle or something.

Update (April 4, 2009)
Finished the model for my turret. Just need to reduce polies and texture it.

Ok, my part of the pack is a battle rifle

A health pack

Ignore the msh viewer part, I fixed it and it's ingame

A SMG

An Assault Rilfe

A plasma rifle

and a sniper rifle

I also have a plasma grenade effect/explosion (effect made by tsurugi13, explosion by me)

Anyone know of a good, free photo hosting site? I am moving my pictures off of filefront to somewhere else since filefront is going down.
The SMG will be re-textured, the battle rifle and the health pack are finished and ingame (unless you think otherwise)
The assault rifle is finished modeling-wise, it needs a texture
The sniper rifle needs some work both ways
The plasma rifle also needs modeling work and a texture (probably enviromapping {or whatecer it is} too)
At the moment I can't do any modeling because my computer with all this work is down (motherboard died) I will fix it as soon as possible, but I will take any criticism, it helps me alot

Edit
Another health pack texture

Another health pack texture
I am too tired right now... should be health pack picture

Edit
Thanks mods for the post deletion. Also sorry to whoever it was that posted, go ahead and post again if you want


Ok guys, the reason we posted this thread was for constructive criticism, so what do you like, what dont you like and how can we fix it?

The grenade has too much of a glare and too much smoke. I could try and tidy it up for you, if you want.

Well I can't exactly say yes or no since I didn't make the effect so you would have to PM tsurugi13. Thanks though. He also made one that was more like the Halo 3 plasma grenade, this one suits Halo 1/2 better since they changed things for 3

Edit
Whoever has made or is making Halo assets, I think we should all get together so we don't make things twice .etc and we could release a Halo assets pack/ side.
We should start a thread in BF2 General for all the Halo asset makers so we can post what we have and what we are working on

Well, I don't know anything about Halo 2 or 3, but in Halo Trial(free version for PC, Halo 1 I think) the grenade didn't have so much flare and smoke, which is what I'm talking about.

I'm sry, I couldn't resist. "Why would they give us tank if nobody knows how to use it?"

But in all seriousness, those models look REALLY good. Almost like their straight out of the Halo franchise.

Nice, but the Plasma Rifle could use some detail.

Yeah, I'm planning on adding much more detail to the Plasma Rifle, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Lol RvB quote, and I swear these models are not ripped (not accusing you of anything just wanted to make this clear)

You guys want my Elite? Its better then the one I released earlier, fixed some clipping issues, fully supports Override Texture, and it as no weighting errors, energy sword included.

I also have a unfinished Magnum, Plasma Pistol, and a SMG that needs to have its texture painted, and can also be setup quickly for dual wield.

I may need some of these. If you guys are working with Culvar, I have permission and I'm kind of in on this HALO project.

that'd be great. I already had a magnum made, but if the one posted in the showcase thread was yours, i liked it better then mine.

As for anyone else who has a model(s) to contribute, the more the merrier. More weapons adds to more fun

I have a Needler model lying around somewhere on my hard drive, but its a Sketchup model, so it would need A LOT of work to get it ingame.

Started a machine gun turret model, the pic's in the first post.

If anyone is willing to make the plasma turret so the Covenant has an equal weapon, that would be nice. I think the model's too complex for me, so any help would be appreciated

Yeah pretty much. Attached to a grenade to make it look good... so I guess he didn't make it. But he still released it. dang I'll have to get him to take a pic of the new effect ingame, it is so much cooler

No offense, but the front half of the sniper looks a little...off.

I'll upload the new Elite .msh soon, you just need to paint the texture on it how you want then its done.

I'll work on UVing and exporting the plasma pistol and magnum and exporting the SMG, they should be up within a week.

The old warthog and ghost I have won't be up for quite some time (animations in the case of the warthog and UVs for the ghost).
