A huge request!

I would say to start out with the Ghost as it is the simplest. The ghost, in Battlefront terms, is about as long as a speeder bike and about as wide as a normal speeder I think.

im just guessing, but to give a bit more to work with...

Ghost stands (not hovers) about 1.3 meters tall (roughly 4 feet). I would say from wingtip to wingtip it goes 2 meters (roughly 6 feet).

Okay, I'm pretty well along with the warthog mesh. I tried the ghost, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that well. It's too... organic. I'll try though.

Sweet! Could you post pics of the Warthog Mesh?

If you can't get the Ghost done maybe someone else can.

As you can see, it's very low-poly right now.

LOL, I can just imagine a vanguard and a clone pimpin' in this.

Here's another wip pic, this time with wheels and a windshield:

Any suggestions/criticisms? It seems a little wide to me, and a little short, but what do you think? I'm open to suggestions.

Ya you're right t551t551 it is a little wide and short. Maybe make it a little taller and skinnier, but still lookin good.

the wheel are a little weird. I dont think its wide, just short. It looks pretty cool tho.

I think I have corrected the fact that it looked like a giant sat on it, and it now officially has sweet turret action:

I'll look into the wheels after the turret, the reason they look wierd is that I was trying to go low-poly on them.

Final version is looking to be under 2500 polies, probably less.

The wheels will probably look good once you texture them. The model is looking a lot nicer now, good job.

That's awesome!!!

LOL ya now it doesn't look so squished.

Okay, the mesh is finished, and I have it rigged (I think) properly for the turret to work. Now, I can UV map it, but I must warn you that it will probably not be very good, as I have never really done it before. however, even if I can map it, I can't make a high-quality texture. I think I can export the mesh, I will just install 5.1 trial on my laptop. Here's a pic:

even though you easily could cut off several dozens and maybe even a hundred polygons from that vehicle, it's still great

kep it up

Karnage · Post by **Karnage** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 7:17 pm

Looks like the Warthog alright, good job t551t551!

If someone could make a high-res texture that would be great!
Any volunteers?

t551 · Post by **t551** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 12:18 am

It is officially in-game, albeit with a funky placeholder texture, and not really behaving like a wheeled vehicle. I'm going to look at the Hailfire .odf in the morning and take the settings from that. The turret rigging isn't working, so I'll have to re-check that, and it's currently scaled like a warthog go-kart. I'll post a pic soon.

Nice job t551t551. You are bring Halo into SWBF2

Post by **Teancum** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 7:13 am

The hailfire and the snail tank both use animated textures. Animated textures are how the game handles wheeled vehicles.
