ive never seen jackals using both hands to hold any weapon ever in all my time of custom edition besides waffles

there, that's a more specific statement

proof or gtfo

Maybe you just haven't looked hard enough, but seeing people have made elites use two hands...I'm sure people have been able to have jackals hold weapons with two hands as well.

it was a halo 1 jackal, and i never said it hadnt been done before. most of everything im doing on this thread is to help me learn, or to better myself. im trying to expand my knowledge from just shaders, and textures... hence the attempts at rigging, and animating.
and i dont know any good places to host animated gif files. it either doesnt show up for anybody but me, or it gets removed... if anybody knows a good site, lemme know

i havent got anything release worthy yet btw, but ill try to get some stuff uploaded soon. i have some pretty small stuff as well, but probably not worth showing... ive been experimenting with viewer facing on some shaders and effects, working on existing shaders(which i see no point in doing till i get open sauce, at least for now.)

also "trying" to get open sauce installed... im kinda tired of faking shaders in halo ce. i wanna see the other features in sauce as well. but for the most part i just want open sauce for luls :P

on another note. what do you guys use to export animations? i have max 11, and the animation importer from the ghost, yet i dont believe you can export brand new animations from that can you?

thanks, apparently though i cant get the full version script to work in max. i can get the compact exporter to work, just not the full one.

im getting a runtime error upon running the script.

In relation to sniper jackals.

This map has them, i'm know there's an unprotected version available somewhere.

More furry.. please? :3

ill make something furry tonight :D

It'd be cool if it was an actual one, not just a cartoon.

this stuff is heavy WIP... open to criticism.

for higuy, and team.

working on re-proportioning the body, and the rig got a little messed up near the arms and chest. had to split some verts up near the butt, because the stock male marines have flat a**'s

also took some armor peices off, this can be added back however if you want (higuy). i just thought it differentiated and made her stand out a bit more from the males. i used the h3 head that you wanted, yet i think i may do another version with rawleys head from the halo 1 pilot biped... seems to detailed against the other marines.









^the arms have changed a little since this picture.

also learned how to use Aether lightmapping tool.





didnt light everything in terms of scenery, i just wanted to see if i could make it work. also the shadows arent super high res... i just made them to a max of 512x512. still looks alot better than stock lightmaps.

Really nice job on woman's proportions !
Change the bitmap color of the hands tho, less contrast and more according to the face skin look.
Still really nice while i'm more for a rounder butt

Use higher res on aether, you can do it easily

thanks, im still working on the hips and butt area, i just noticed the hands lol, ill also try to get rid of the veins.

as for the aether stuff, it was just a test. so i didnt bother to go high res with it just yet.

:]]]]]]]]]]]]

Does Aether use the collision geometry or the .gbxmodel to draw shadows if you know? If the latter that would be immensely interesting.

I believe it's the same bsp geometry just reuvw'd by halo for halo lightmaps.

awesome images :D

i tawt you wuz gunna make furies

@Lightmaps: Damn, i'm gonna have to research this "Aether" tool...

Am I the only person on the forum that isn't, never was, and never will be a furry?

hurr whats a furry?

No, seriously.

safesearch off

slappythepirate is a furry

look at his avatar

this topic is now about ignorant furry stereotypes

go NOW

That looks pretty good Waffles! Throw it ingame and ill get it in, along with a custom dialouge (from Halo 2).

you should make more variations on the klonoa biped

give him a cute little outfit like this

Pretty much.


Basically Rule34 on small animals.

Oh God...

from what ive read and can tell from making the lightmaps. aether uses the maps default lightmap uvw's as a base for baking the high quality lightmaps.

each scenery item or gbxmodel can recieve and cast shadows, through its geometry. upon playing with lighting settings you can get a trees leaf transparency to mask the shadows. same with anythings transparency bitmaps. (alpha channel of diffuse).

its really really easy to do.

wwww.google.com

that basically walks you through the entire process. read through the first time and it worked perfectly.

if you have troubles with getting the aether companion script to work, you have to run it through the scripts (hammer) tab. then select one of the two commands below it.



if you have anybody that is willing to fix the rig up that would be lovely... as for right now i dont have a whole lot of patience to fix the rig...



the arms and pelvis/hips area need to be fixed... the model id say is pretty much done in terms of proportions. i also need to get some permutations up.

Jason retired, so no wheel chair for us..

SWEET!

Girl Power Campaign: The evil men are dominating the military. Time for the Marine Ladies to be sent in!

(Underneath awesome banner) The men's military is at the edge of hell...

And the girl marines are gonna send em in!


Cool shtuff Waffles. Sexy girl marine. Now, need those in the squad for sure.

That looks even nicer Waffles.

Must admit, it looks better than the standard marines. Just...something. I dunno. Seems better.

What else yo doing with marines,Waffles? Would you do some ODSTs...

could you start putting the halo 2 and halo 3 marine faces on the classic marines? WE NEEDZ MOAR FAECEZZZZ

I have a software that generate faces. Called facegen.
