Added an attachment to hold two mags and a Ammo Display.

Not totally sure what I should do to make the left side more interesting, or to even add anything at all.

Looking at it I think the ammo counter is a tad small. I will probably enlarge it. We'll see.

E: Also added smoothing and widened the model.

The same thing happened to me.

Any advice besides re-installing would be great... since I lost the installer for it.

Thanks in advance.

wait shouldn't you just be able to select all the thumb bones and delete their keyframes? Then you can start anew.


just to add onto moooseguy's post
If you want to have it run an animation from 3ds max, just load up the pelican gbxmodel, animate it, then export it as a .jmw (might need ctrlaltdestroy's animation exporter for this, but it's on this site)

there's also an app on the site that lets you record animations or so I hear. I've never used it before.

guys seriously

destiny looks cool, but I keep hearing that it will have MMO elements, which worries me. I play games for their stories mostly, and I like to do that alone. In my experience, mixing story and multiplayer elements usually doesn't end well. The story usually ends up suffering, or the other players completely break your immersion.

That said, the new enemies look pretty interesting, and the traveler looks like it could be cool too. Also, that screen with the ship gets me excited for space combat (like that one level in reach) which I think would be pretty cool.


If your arms are divided into separate elements it's possible that some verts are just not being affected by the bones, especially if you rigged the arms by selecting the verts instead of using the envelopes.


That's also just apparently a problem with halo. I've had this problem on bipeds as well. I really don't know why. Sometimes if you turn on rasterizer_wireframe (rasterizer_wireframe 1 in the debug console) you can trace which vert is causing the problem and weld it to another vert that is close by. That might fix it. I don't remember if I've tried this but it's worth a shot I guess.

It looks fine. Halo can handle a lot more polies than people give it credit for.


Just an interesting bit of trivia, the animation was done by Monty Oum, who works for RoosterTeeth now as (I believe) an animator or mocapper.


Yeah, it's an animation. The AR has a few unique animations (stealth melee and put away I believe) the put-away animation apparently plays when you enter a vehicle. I duplicated one of the animations for the pistol and referenced it as the put-away animation and it worked as well. The downside is that you'd have to create new animations for every weapon, since as far as I know, only the AR has that animation currently.


If you're exporting with bluestreak it will sometimes make up errors. Make sure it's an editable mesh, because it can reduce the frequency that this happens, but it still might happen.
