Belakor's Halo 3D Weapon Models

[landotheninja]

Well, personally I like the Concept Battle Rifle because it reminds me of the Type 96 sniper rifle, but all of the rest are still amazing.

if any one wishes a new challange how about the gravity hammer

 

[Belakor]

the spartans lasers looking REALLY good def. one of my favs youve done.

Thanks It's probably my favourite right now too, but that changes almost every time I do a new model

Now that you mention it it does look a lot like the Type 96, maybe thats why I like it... I hadn't thought of that before

I've got one somewhere that I was woking on a while back, it's the Halo 2 Tartarus version though (which I like more than the H3 one) I can't seem to find it to take a screenshot of though. I'll post some pics if I find it

the only thing i can gripe about is your smg's stock .

That'll be fixed soon... that is once I can get motivated to look at the SMG again, I'm kind of bored of it right now



Here's a new one, the explosive charge from various parts of the ODST campaign:



Like the Spartan Laser I've had the references sitting here for a while and finally decided to do something with them



Minor progress on the laser:





I did this last night as well, not a weapon but I thought it was neat (and made a good new avatar )

love your work and love the monkey

 

[Belakor]

love your work and love the monkey

Thanks Link The monkey turned out pretty well, especially since the reference was less than 100 x 100px

Now I just have to fix my renderer so I can get some decent pics up here again...

 

[gingersnapples]

love your work and love the monkey

i love the monkey to.

this is the first time i looked through the entire thread rather than just the first page. and you have made alot of awesome progress! cant wait to see what you can make next!

Hey, why is the BELAKOR name backwards?

 

[FlyingSpartan052]

Here's a few of the 3D models I've built the past few months for people interested, some are finished and some aren't. Everything was modeled in Solidworks and rendered in Hypershot (I've since moved to Photoview 360 and hopefully Modo, provided they update the Mac version to support Solidworks models)



I should probably say first off that these aren't going to be released, nothing personal just that they are my personal portfolio projects and also because you couldn't pep any of them even if they were out there... they're just too detailed (I have tried )

Though having said that feel free to use the photos here and on Flickr for reference if you think they'll help. At a later stage I will probably look at turning all the models in to drawings for building physical versions of them, that wont be for a while though.

Halo 3: ODST M6C SOCOM:

This was rendered in silver because the matte black didn't print properly... long story short, I had to quickly throw together a folder full of my work and print it on the home printer, black just looked bad.

Here is the black, slightly older renders and a mag with some hollow-points (with custom stamping, not pictured)

Halo 3 Battle Rifle (Unfinished):

This is one I haven't finished yet. Started modeling it after I got the scaled MR version (and the carbine) for way cheap from a friend.

Halo 2 Concept Battle Rifle:

This one I really like, taken from one of the tiny images on page 102 of 'The Art of Halo' (the original, not the newer Art of Halo 3).

I still need to do the scope/red dot.

I think that's all the ones I have on Flickr at the moment. Other things I've been working on are a Halo 2 concept GPMG (also from The Art of Halo), the Weta Laser Designator from the Landfall shorts, some of the other M6 pistol variants (mostly ones we've never seen), the Halo 3 power drain, and some other stuff that I can't remember.





Edit: Also, does anyone know what the text is on the side of the pistol (the suppressor part) where I've got "Belakor"? I couldn't make anything out so that text is just temporary... though it does work as a good watermark

Hey Belakor,



Why will you not release these blueprints on solidworks?

Im not so stupid that im going to try and pep them, as you said they are way too detailed.

I have other things in mind for these wonderful models, but I don't know the specifics yet.

Whatever I do,if you release the files I promise I will keep the Belakor watermark thingy on the pistol and redirect all the designing rights to you, but only if you release the files

Thanks,

Thanks CommanderFluffy Reach BR is probably next, followed by the SR, just have to make the time

Hey, why is the BELAKOR name backwards?

On the SOCOM? That's just because I mirrored it rather than creating a whole new feature, since it was temporary (until I found out what it actually said) I just left it

The reasoning behind not releasing them is that my time, and by extension my work, is pretty valuable (the original pistol alone is between 40 and 60 hours of work). Because most of these models are going in my portfolio for work I have to keep them unique.

It's a lot like my armour, I'll never sell any of that because it's better for me to have it be rare and not available to everyone (or anyone), and I can't afford to have someone render one of my models and claim it as their own. If I had my portfolio full of projects that everyone else has it's less special and less likely to get me more work.



After all if I don't have work I can't keep building stuff There are other people out there that could and have built some of these things as well (and released them too) so people aren't missing out on much

Hi



I am dissappointed about that. Please read my posts on the noob forum. There is more detail on there of what I was going to do. (Mould and sell them and if you had agreed you could be receving some of the profit)



Could you possibly do me a basic model for me which I could modify.

Thanks.

Just wanted to mention this about the bolded part above, "profit" is not something you want to be making in the prop world, just FYI. Studios/Companies usually turn a blind eye to people selling items based on their IP (Intellectual Property i.e. Halo) as long as you're not mass producing or selling for profit, once you start doing either of those you run the risk of being hit with a C&D.



I don't really have the free time to do any modeling for anyone at the moment, tied up with my own projects right now, so I don't think I'd be able to help, sorry.

 

[MissingSpartan7]

when you were asking about the attachments on the silenced pistol it made me think -what if the attachments were modular? what if they could be taken on/off or modified depending on the situation?



models look -blam- epic

keep it up!

 

[pepahalomaster]

DL links plz????

DL links plz????

See post #92 (four posts up), the HD weapon models aren't for release.

Now I know why your monkey ain`t smiling. You must get a ton of questions like that. I asked once also so it`s up there in the threads.

 

[Belakor]

Quickly throwing these up, been busy rendering these out at fairly high-res so I can send it all away for printing (in book form).



The old SOCOM model that I've spent a bit of time cleaning and rearranging, still inferior to the new model:







And a close up of some new detail I added to the Concept Battle rifle to make it a bit more interesting:



I've improved this model a bit too and have more renders that I'll post later.



Right now I'm rendering the 40K bolter again but after that I'll finish up some more halo stuff and post the progress... really need to get all this sent away this month if possible so I would imagine there will be some new stuff in here and the "other stuff" thread soon (maybe even some of the book when it's back)

 

[LastSpartan]

So, basicly, you're dividing your models into piece small enough for the Cupcake CNC?



How well does it work?
