Hey man, the model overall looks great. i was only referring to the open faces. Just 2 small ones. and the only real difficult part was the plate in the front with the holes. The geometry was kind of rough so making everything smooth so the end result looks good was kind of tough. I think it is very build-able and i'll get started on it soon to test it out. As far as the shoulder, are you going to make it a shoulder/bicep piece or just the huge sniper plate thing?





Hey Namauri, how you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Got a, got a, got a nice little story you working on there? Your big -big novel you've been working on for three years? (Voice rising in pitch) Hmm? Got a, got a compelling protagonist, eh? Got a, got an obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Got a story brewing there? Working on... Working on that for quite some time, huh? Yeah, talking about that three years ago. You've been working on that the whole time? Nice little, uh, narrative-- beginning, middle and end? Some friends become enemies some enemies become friends? Eh? At the end your main character is richer for the experience, yeah? JK!! Had to do it.

oops, double post

 

[Skwisdemon]

OK heres version 1.0 of the right shoulder, its just the sniper plate and still needs some work, i'm just uploading it so i can get some opinions on what needs changed, i just can't quite put my finger on it



also could you show me where these open faces are?



and as for the thighs, if you have some of it already done i could try to finish it but it would be pretty hard to do from scratch

[Namauri]

actually i do its in sketchup idk if you could transpose them to your current software lol but let me see if i can throw them up here. AND Major Pain FYI my novel kicks major arse its like halo meets heroes meets crysis on steroids and crack

http://www.4shared.com/file/128034848/1e320c40/HALO_WARS_LEGS.html (No thigh insert and saved with a blank thigh and 2 shins and another random copy thigh in the back ground lol)

Man you work hella fast! I'm sorry I forgot to post the pics of the open faces I found. Also, it may just be me, but i think that the shoulder needs to have a deeper angle at the center piece on up to give it a more turtle shell look. The side vent probable could be a little longer as well. Maybe even the divots on the top. Could add a "lip" around the entire model(sides) to give it bulker look.

Man I hate giving critisism to you guys. I feel like an ugrateful douche. In fact im very grateful for all your contributions.

I don't think they'll take it that way Major Pain. Modeling is hard, and the longer you work on a model the more prone to error it is. It's good advice, no one should be offended by it.

Very nice work on the 3d files ! !

 

[ecko2]

euhm about the shoulders. Bevbor already finished the left shoulder. And was making the right one...

[Skwisdemon]

well, Bevbor's shoulder looks alot better, lets see if he can finish it for us, the thighs are pretty hard to do, i think it would be best if Rundown did them so they matched good with the shins, i will go ahead and start on the groin, biceps need to be done but first they need to be understood, if you look close you can see that the left shoulder is actually attached to BOTH biceps and the "right shoulder" fits over it http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o203/benstreeper/halo/halo wars/7988_1241215832_large.jpg

I see what you're talking about. Both base shoulders are the same, but there is a "cap" for the right, the one that bevbor is designing.

 

[Maj Pain]

Wow, I was just about to comment on the "base" shoulder idea. I also think it would be a good idea to connect the shoulder and bicep for wear-ability purposes. As for bevbor's right plate model, yes it is very nice, but i also like yours skwisdemon. I think with just a few modifications yours will be the more accurate model(no offense to bevbor of course).

made some good improvements, also did you get those pics of the open faces from the 2nd version of the sneaker, i vertex welded the whole thing so its odd that it would still have open faces, also on the 2nd version i fixed up the back where the ridges weren't smooth



also... Gray Team armor... i was thinking after we finished this set we could make gray team parts to be used with this, from reading the book it sounds like gray team has a CQB variant of the MK.IV (it has knives in the chest and a machete thing on the back), so i was thinking we could make a gray team helmet, shoulders, handplates, and a piece that connects over the existing chest plate

 

[Maj Pain]

Love the new shoulder plate man. I'll have the unfold out in a sec. As for the open faces in the shoe, I posted some pic a few post up(#166). I circled the areas that are disconnected(they show up in red in pep). Only two small areas and its still very buildible like i said earlier. Great work all around Skwisdemon. Way to step up for the community.



*Edit*



And here it is:

Wasn't really sure as to the size so I measured my came up with a width that should be big enough to cover the base shoulder model. Anyways, I highly suggest to anyone taking on this project to start on the "nose" section. That part will be almost impossible if the rest of the model is already in place.

 

[rundown]

We should start putting this all on the wiki. I'll do it. I just need hosted links for letter and A4 uploads of everything...

And the names of the creators of course

 

[Namauri]

im still gonna work on the thighs during my vacation i guess lol

 

[xenovidx]

OMG. You guys are my effing heroes. Can't wait to start on this suit.

 

[angry cabbage]

Is there already a base shoulder model or are we supposed to use the h3 one?

 

[Skwisdemon]

the bicep hasn't been modeled yet is thats what you are reffering too, so currently there is nothing to attach the shoulders to yet
