Halo 3 - Custom High Detail Models

[Garland]

Looking forward to the MKV, FS.

I'll have XP, Vista, Linux, and OS X installed on it, but I'm keeping it a bit simpler to begin with.

All 4? On one machine?

Oh and FS, it'll be a miracle if I don't throw my torso out the window. The detail is driving me insane...

That's ok because it's awesome.

 

[tipper]

Can't wait for the MKV, good thing the superbowl is on to occupy my time.

 

[xalener]

That's wierd......I printed out the MK VI helmet, and only the bottom part was printed...

 

[Robogenisis]

All 4? On one machine?

Yeah. I'll install them on seperate partitions, but with only one 150GB drive, I'll start with two 75GB partitions with XP and Vista, then get another drive and install Linux and OS X on that one. That's me plan. I'll be ordering it soon.
You can get OS X on your system with the "OS X86" thing. Get it? OS X (Mac), and X86 (Windows).

Haha, I hate this! I tried the scaling method, and it seems to be a bit too small. (For the helmet)

If anyone could help, I'm 67 inches. I'm using the brim as a "test" size but now I'm having doubts on that. So i wasted a bunch of paper now, and I'd love for someone to help. Considering what may look right, compared to how it should actually be is quite different, I'd like to get it right! Thanks if someone can help.


I thought about posting this in the scaling thread, but they seemed to be more focused on other models, or I'm just handicapped and didn't read all of it. But I did search around to try and solve this problem. Even tried the robo scale paste thing but it seemed a bit small.

.... what the heck the halo 2 helmet has open edges EVERYWHERE!!!!

 

[flying squirl]

great googly moogly your right! whered they come from?!! ugh, im in no state for sorting it out atm, sorry. ill fix it later.

 

[Robogenisis]

I looked at the H2 model, and holy crap there's a lot of open edges. I pressed "unfold undo", then went to "join isolated edges, and they all went away. Easy enough. It didn't have all of those edges when it got unfolded did it?
I had a problem with Pepakura once while unfolding the boot. I unfolded it, saved it, and when I re-opened it, this happened.

It looked perfectly good and unfolded when I saved it. Pepakura messes up with some models sometimes.

 

[docbytes]

I see you've been busy. Thanks for helping my understand Irish addresses. Say if someone wanted to hunt you down in your village I take it they'd have a 1/5 chance going door to door on the first try.

ooohhyea, that happened to me once before too, i was in a bit of a rush so i just resaved over it n forgot about it. i might have forgotten to join all the edges before pepping it cuz i did that a good while ago, it was more for anyone who had already built the halo 2 helmet and would like to get some extra supports in it appart from just the visor. which reminds me, i forgot to put the thing in about makin the underside of the visor outa cardbord to help it hold its shape into the first post. (yes that sentance made sence, read it again... see?)

heh, no worries. em... yea... why did you put a dancing bannana at the end of that? *worries for a bit and then gets distraced by watching the dancing bannana*. bdw, for anyone who would like to hunt me down make note that ive got a large arsnel of sharp and pointy things that youll have to deal with first.

oh, i got another hours work in on the mrk V today. the vent dealys at the front are done and im just adding in the smaller details around the helmet. i recored it but i wont upload it till i have the rest, its a bit short. i also watched some manga... i forgot how weird it can be. "wait, wheres her cloths?! why isnt anyone commenting on the fact shes suddenly naked?! holy crap!the top of that guys head just got blown off!!!!" etc. ghost in a shell is a prime example of this. im off now to play a bita BTB. (its ranked now!!! yeay!!!!). ill hopefully get a bit more modeling in on the mrk v tomorow. its nearly done now, just finiky bits.

Now you see the power of the distracting Banana!

Hope I get your torso done so I can try my hand at the MV

OMG Mk V soon! *runs off to obsessively work on finishing the Hayabusa*

Haha I know the feeling, I watched an anime the other day where the guy's right hand became a chick. The name of the show was right-handed girlfriend Midori or something. *for emphasis*

Sorry, I hate to be an annoying pest. But I'm bumping myself x-x;

How do I make a model smooth like you did?

 

[Shorion]

Just a quick question. What program do you use for models? I have autocad, blender and googlesketchup. I'm pretty good with autocad. I made a cube with autocad but it doesent even show when i open it with Pepakura Designer2. any suggestions? also anyone know of any links to a mini tutorial for a simple model that i can start with or something god i've spent like 2 days reading tutorials and searching and I have nothing grrrr

"damn you, you bastard bannana!" *shakes fist in air*

hahaha, well dont let gravity get you down again. i realy dont want to see another "son of a b*tch" video.... then again it was prity damn funny. right handed girlfriend midori? some of the names just dont seem to translate well.

Sorry, I hate to be an annoying pest. But I'm bumping myself x-x;

im not realy sure how to help cuz i go about it differently. what i do is i ask a friend to measure my head side on from my chin to the top of my head keeping the ruler vertical, then i add a cm or three and bobs your uncle. most people end up with something in the range of 26-30 or so. oh and i wouldnt use the brim as a tester, its not accurate in that sense. ide definately recommend the size tester model. i know its extra work but not as much as if you started the hd and screwed it up.
(oh and we ment to tell you bobs your uncle before but it never seemed the right time. j/k)

How do I make a model smooth like you did?

5 years of collage, 4 tutors, 3 websites, 2 repeat projects and 1 thesis. heh, sorry, couldn't resist. do you have a 3d modeling program? if so which one?

Just a quick question. What program do you use for models? I have autocad, blender and googlesketchup. I'm pretty good with autocad. I made a cube with autocad but it doesent even show when i open it with Pepakura Designer2. any suggestions? also anyone know of any links to a mini tutorial for a simple model that i can start with or something god i've spent like 2 days reading tutorials and searching and I have nothing grrrr

im using 3ds max 8. and im using a program called debut to record the mrk v modeling process. personally: i can only use autocad as a drafting program, never could get my head around the UI, never tried blender and sketchup just annoys me, its almost but not entirely unlike 3d max. im prity sure that magnum is fairly confident with cad, you could send him a pm. oh or you could post this in the 3d program help thread, you'll probably get better help there. heh, yea ive spent many a day not knowing how to do something and not being able to find anything about it anywhere.

-----------------------

YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!! got a full day to have a crack at the mrk V. and just look how formal my writing is!!!!

EDIT: i just did a search and didnt find anything relating to this. i saw it on hbo a while ago and automagicly assumed it would be up here its that good. ''It's not about awesome snipes, or triple kills, or unreal sticks - it's about Halo gameplay, shown in such a way that you just want to pick up a controller and start playing.'' its one of thoe rare halo videos thats acuialy worth a watch: (make sure you have sound)

heres links to higher rez versions, you might want to download this one:

heres what hbo had to say:

Halo 3 Spitfire
deftangel found a video which appears on YouTube, GameVideos, and Mythica.org. It's a montage - but it's not like any montage I've ever seen. It was created by UnfilteredNoise (his YouTube handle)/krushedNsorted (his GameVideos/1UP handle), and although the music grates strongly on my nerves, the camerawork is amazing. It's not about awesome snipes, or triple kills, or unreal sticks - it's about Halo gameplay, shown in such a way that you just want to pick up a controller and start playing. Go watch. (The YouTube version is crap; download the higher-res version from Mythica or GameVideos.) (Louis Wu 19:22:47 UTC)

That's CRAZY GOOD! Excellent camera work, and awesome editing. Timing with the music was most excellent as well. That was definitely not done by amateurs.
