A Halo UTM? ARE YOU JOKING???!

[Hevenblood]

Well, I do think that we need icons, because the original warcraft 3 icons do not fit well with halo. Don't you think?

 

[GhostThruster]

Our priority is models and textures, specifically units and weapons.

EDIT: Great news!
I have finished the texture for the Warthog. It doesn't look too good, but that is mainly due to the wrap.
I have gotten a Hunter skin from Fingolfin and a Plasma Rifle that needs a bit of polish from Fan! Below are the aforementioned.

Also, Hevenblood and Superz how are things?

 

[Grievous1]

really cool I love this project to bring halo to wc3 because I'm a really big halo fan. To the hunter you should remove the teddy bear like teal and the claws maybe he could need his shield arm too

sorry for the ideas/suggestions but the hunter is my favourite covenant unit in halo ^^

 

[GhostThruster]

Yep, it is not a final version. I will get my team to try to fix it up, but my modeller is working on the Wraith.

 

[Goolygot]

Here is the wrap

and here is the .max file
View attachment Ghost5.max

Sorry for the blurry image. I don't know why it happened.

 

[GhostThruster]

Thanks Goolygot. +rep, and once I've spread, +rep again.

EDIT: Check out the new Plasma Rifle, now more polished.

 

[ImperialShadow]

hey ghostthruster,How about the flood marine,flood elite?
and also any scorpion(tank)?

 

[Hevenblood]

I would look at the 2 models, but I do not have warcraft on the com. I am using.
I still have not found any modes.
Edit: I have looked at the models,. and they look good. I really like the new hunter.
+rep

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

sorry for the unresponsiveness. School is really getting tight. I honestly dont know why im getting soo much work. But the wraith is slowly coming along. Im gonna check out the ghost to see how the explosion looks (thanks revilo)

Im going to work a bit on the wraith now even though i still got 2 paragraphs left for my essay (its french therefor will take longer to edit)

 

[Hevenblood]

I understand how you feal in the homework. I really hate homework, exect in art.
Anyway, good luck on the wraith, and school!
P.S. can you post a wip of your wraith?

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

P.S. can you post a wip of your wraith?

Not quite ready yet to post something unless you want to see something missing the back half... But i will try to get something in 2 days or so?

Ghost looks great. good work!

 

[Hevenblood]

Take your time, I am not rushing you.

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

this wraith has proven to be a slight challenge

 

[GhostThruster]

Thanks for the +rep, Hevenblood. I really want to start on some UNSC models, but believe it or not, they are much harder to make than Covenant ones. Surprising, with the amount of Marine models on the Hive.

Superz, considering you've made half a wraith already("missing the back half"), I think you've made excellent progress. I'm nearly done making the Hunter. But I want to do some UNSC units!

 

[Hevenblood]

Making some UNSC models would be cool. I cant decide which group is my favorite, but I have to say, that they are both epic!
Ghost, good luck with the hunter!

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

thanks ghost. Im trying to get this thing done but it just doesn't look right?

 

[GhostThruster]

I finished the final version of the Hunter! Just needs a shooting animation.

 

[RiotZ]

I'm a huge Halo fan, probably the biggest lol. And I'm quite a good map maker, I would love to help you if you would accept my assistance.

 

[Hevenblood]

The model looks good, same as the skin. I really want to see the shooting animation on it. That would look cool.
xRiotZx - This is a UTM (I know what some people are going to say, and please don't say it) and it is not going to be playable. When we finish, that you can make a map that you want to make based on what ever you want.

 

[RiotZ]

Aww, I was unaware of the definition of UTM. I assumed it was an abreviation for a project name. Like "(U)nder (T)he (M)oon" or something like that. I wish I could contribute in some way but I'm not a modeler, and I'm a horrid skinner.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I still think you guys should get some spells paired with it to maximize usefulness, that seems like something Riotz is capable of doing

Hmrpf, spells you say? What kind of spells would you have me make?

 

[GhostThruster]

Nah, no spells. Maybe when we finish the UTM me and the boys can make a really awesome map, and make our own spells, but not for the UTM.

 

[Hevenblood]

That is alright, I am no skinner, nor moddler, but I am a finder. If your interested, you could ask GhostThruster if you can be a person who could find some models on unknown sites.

 

[GhostThruster]

Hey guys, check these out! Superz ze Man, I'd like you to pause work on the wraith and start animating the Ghost. Those same animations you made before are fine.

 

[GhostThruster]

Added -Peper- to the team as 2nd modeller. He is doing some model editing for the weapons.

 

[-Peper-]

And btw, what are we need now?
Finding those blank units?

 

[Goolygot]

Hey guys, check these out! Superz ze Man, I'd like you to pause work on the wraith and start animating the Ghost. Those same animations you made before are fine.

Superz ze Man can just add the same bones and same names, and transfer the animations from the old ghost to the new one.

But GhostThruster if you want me to wrap something else, you better ask me before it is animated.

 

[Superz_Ze_Man]

il animate the ghost instead of the wraith.. but do we even have the skins for it yet?

 

[GhostThruster]

-Peper-, I would like you to edit the head of the Marine model (I attached it on post 125) to shape it into an ODST. Don't worry about the portrait, as an ODST wears a helmet (and therefore you can't see its mouth moving). If you need reference pictures, google up 'Halo ODST'. But let me make the texture first (I will tell you when I'm finished).

Thanks, Goolygot.

Superz, I will get Revilo to re-add those particles in. The skin should be in the .rar file (it is called 'GhostHD.blp).

Suggestions on the marine model? Does it look like a Halo 3 Marine roughly?

 

[-Peper-]

The face is..... well?
And btw, don't get lol'd by my post, because they will get a helmet.

 

[GhostThruster]

Well, you can just design a helmet first, wrap it, and then I can texture it. If you can't UV Map the helmet, I shall get Goolygot, and in this case, you can just make the helmet an attachment that fits my marine.

 

[-Peper-]

Well, ODST helmet. Better get Goolygot to UV-Map it.

 

[GhostThruster]

Yah, okay, your task is to make an ODST helmet ATTACHMENT. It must also fit the marine model perfectly on the head (rotate, scale whatever, make it fit).
You make me proud -Peper-!

 

[-Peper-]

On it.
Done.... Like this?

 

[GhostThruster]

Nice job... apparently I have to spread some rep...

Here is a more accurate version. I shall ask Goolygot to wrap it.

 

[GhostThruster]

Finished the ODST skin. Superz, how's the animations going?

 

[Goolygot]

You wanted a custom texture right? If so here is the pictures of the texture. I didn't resize it because I have no idea how big you want the skin to be. So you can just resize it.

 

[x3GlikE]

Hey you have to give me a test map bro i love halo btw REACH FTW!

btw is this halo going to be all halos or based on one?

 

[GhostThruster]

Thank you Goolygot

I managed to get a working Warthog! I just wanna clear all the UNSC shit out.
So, -Peper-, can you design a Spartan Laser? It is gonna be hard though...
If you can do it, I'll give you some ref pics.

x3Glike, all the supposed content is on post no. 10(see my sig). Once I have finished, I shall upload for anyone to download, and make their ULTIMATE HALO MAPS!!!

EDIT: Check out the polished ODSTs. You must attach the helmet ingame.

 

[Zealon]

Wow, you're models are looking great. I can't wait for the Halo maps that they will inspire.

 

[GhostThruster]

Yes, thanks. I think I'm gonna do a Scorpion next, but I'll need anarchianbedlam's permission to edit his Tempest.
My modellers are busy, Superz ze Man is animating the Ghost, hopefully -Peper- can make a Spartan Laser, and Izanagi is still animating my Jackal.
I haven't heard from Hevenblood lately.

 

[-Peper-]

I'll give it a shot.

 

[GhostThruster]

Some ref pics. I shall get Goolygot to wrap it again, and I will design the texture.

 

[-Peper-]

It's hard, but i'll try it.

 

[GhostThruster]

K, good luck. Remember, you don't need to put too much details and vertices. I will make the 'illusion' of detail with the texture.

 

[-Peper-]

Oh shit...
Ghost, i finished it, but there are many holes in it (well, i lack of Milkshape skills)
Can you get someone to cover that (ass)hole?
Ah, and it's not scaled up, just to let you know.

 

[GhostThruster]

-Peper-, one thing I've learnt is that Wc3 models are destined to look like shit. This, on top of the fact that the gun is an attachment, will make the 'holes' hardly noticeable. Good job
I shall ask Goolygot another favour.

EDIT: I think I shall remove all the finished attached models. We don't want everyone to download them before the UTM is released!

 

[-Peper-]

Yeah, i'll remove it too.

 

[GhostThruster]

The WIPs can still be attached. No harm done there.
