Mark V Wip

[Jonny Nny]

Alrighty, well I decided to turn this into my WIP thread for my Frankenstein Mark V.



I just assembled the knees from the Halo Wars Mark IV (idea stolen from Mr. Oreo123) so here's a peek.

These will go atop some modded ODST or Mark VI shins (major modding to the latter if I go that path)



If anyone has any ideas or criticism for me, post it. I'm welcome to it.



Thanks,

Lunchbox

the only thing that has been made hd is the helmet by flying squirl the stuff that is being made for reach is is fairly hd so ...kinda

 

[Jonny Nny]

Well I found a helmet I'm going to do. It's a sick custom Mark V someone made.

I'd just like to find a nice suit. If not I'm going to do a Frankenstein custom suit to bring it up to date.

Or you could just be like master chief when he had fewer polygons on him in Halo CE.

 

[Jonny Nny]

But I want more polygons lol.

Mr Oreo has a good idea going on in his thread with the frankenstein.



Maybe use some of the low def Mark VI parts and mod them.



So by the time I go to sleep this may turn into a WIP thread.

 

[Jonny Nny]

Alrighty so since this did turn into a WIP thread.



I got the knee pep stage done ^^^^ see first post.



Now I got the back pepped and a temporary chest done.



Here's a little peek at it.

Moz's default scaling worked fine for me which is strange.



I plan on modding it to make it look more high res with details and such. (Cardboard FTW)





(sorry for the double postage)

 

[Jonny Nny]

Thanks RVB! That means a lot.

 

[xalener]

You didn't have much to work with, but I have to say, you're doing great!

 

[Jonny Nny]

Thanks xalener! I'm resining the helm tonight. Probably gonna get at least one coat tonight.

 

[Jonny Nny]

Hey guys, guess what!?



IT'S UPDATE TIME!!



I haven't posted on this puppy in some time, because well, I've had nothing to post. I've decided to scrap the original mark v hd helm I was working on, because, well, it was too big for me.



I'm making a "custom Mark V suit" and dubbing it the "Mark V Recon". Throwing a couple non mark v pieces into the suit to make it a little cooler.



So, this is how it's going down.

---Pepped----

Helm - Jun, stripped of attachment (model by Raziel1981, unfolded by me)

Chest - Mark V (front and back by MOZ, re-unfolded by me)

Shoulders - Mark V (By MOZ, Re-unfolded by me)

Forearms - Mark VI Slim (modeler unknown, unfolded by me)

---not pepped but part of plan---

Stomach - Mark V (by MOZ)

Cod - Mark VI (By Robogenisis, unfolded by MrOreo123)

Thighs - Mark VI (By Crackhead, unfolded by MrOreo123)

Shins - combo of Mark IV kneecaps turned upside down and ODST Weta shins (knee by Rundown and Shin by Ral Partha)

Boots - Yet to be determined.



Oh and as for pics or it didn't happen:

Lemme know what ya'll think

 

[rhaiyszkie]

very nice stuff. but why didnt you go for the HD shoulder piece?

 

[Jonny Nny]

very nice stuff. but why didnt you go for the HD shoulder piece?

Is there an HD Mark V piece?! I didn't know. But the reason I chose the Mark V is to make it look closer to the oldschool as possible.

 

[rhaiyszkie]

oops, my mistake.. thought it was MK IV there's a shoulder piece made by agbates. the halo wars edition.

 

[Jonny Nny]

No sir, that's the good ol' low-def Mark V gotta love Halo CE

 

[SaintlyGecko]

DUDE where did you find that sweat custom Mk V helmet

Oh.. and your armor is coming along quite nice my fiend.

 

[Jonny Nny]

The one that I scrapped? That was made by xalener, he posted above ^^^^



Thank you



The file itself is a little broken and you have to do some modding when you put it together if you download it. but it's a nice file if you down size it. I made it way too big lol.

 

[SaintlyGecko]

Thanks for the help but what is wrong with the file

 

[Jonny Nny]

Thanks for the help but what is wrong with the file

Oh, there are several parts that are kinda broken; on the back edge of the vents, on the left ear area, and on the left side of the spine, where the ridges are. the pieces you're supposed to pep are either shaped wrong, or just distorted and un-peppable. I had to modify some pieces and hot glue them in place.
