Banshee model WIP's

[Fingolfin]

Some WIP's of a banshee model i'm working on.
Made from scratch, as always.

EDIT: The pink/blue symbols are teamcolored.

Damn large images:

 

[chilla_killa]

OMG that's so amazing. I guess I never would have made it so good as you.
It looks like a rip-off model, but I know you made it yourself.
I guess, if the anims are awesome, too this could get a DC

 

[ike_ike]

Awesome stuff.

 

[Just_Spectating]

that looks so accurate

except, is it possible to make the attachment angled so that when you attach a unit inside it'll be laying down like it is in the game?

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes, i can fix that. It has a morph and stand alternate animation, so that when it lands the lights will go off, hatch open, and the model will "drop" to the ground.

But if you want to attatch a unit, you will propably need to make a special unit with stand animation that fits the stance they have to lie in.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

is this from Halo ?
cause I thought it was a SC banshee, which looks nothing like this one.


never mind I found it, it is from HaloWars

There are some things I would do differently, but hey, it looks good

T.

 

[Just_Spectating]

this one looks more like the banshees from just Halo 1-3

 

[Fingolfin]

Taylor, i would actually say that my model is more accurate to the real banshee than the halo wars model (even though mine is perhaps slightly less poly), the real version does for example not have those strange blaster thingies on the wingtips, and is less short'n stumpy. It's therefore not really appropriate to compare them.
Halo wars is also considered non-canon by most halo fans.

Thanks, though

My hair is getting aroused!

DAMN, this is one epic model! I might consider including flying units in my Halo project considering there's gonna be models like this! (Didn't want to include them initially because the projectile system can make them somewhat op, but that can be fixed with stats changes )

Yeah, personally I don't care how accurate/inaccurate it is to one generation of Halo, let's face it, you look at this model, you know what it is and even if there are slight differences (like, I don't know, maybe he placed one symbol differently to the first generation of Halo, making it based off the second generation, but the weapons are that of the third? Just making this up ), we shouldn't really care because this is the best damn Halo model out there so far (well, not strictly out there, but it will be one day xD)

Good work, man! Keep it up! I'm gonna need every one of these models MUAHAHAHAAH!!!!!

 

[Fingolfin]

Honestly, i mixed some in from all generations; the teamcolour symbols were obviously better positioned on the halo 2 banshee (They weren't there at all in the halo 3 one), and it had some nice back fenders that were lower in poly than the split halo 3 ones, and i also liked the halo 3 "hinges" on the hatch.
The top is most inaccurate, but since warcraft don't use neither parallax or mipmapping, there was really no way to make that green stuff seen on the original look good.

But yeah, i mean, it's not like the fanboys will beat me up or something.

 

[Wazzz]

Well, I consider myself a fanboy (although I don't bother much 'collecting' the information on Halo and don't play it often, I love the story behind it so much and have been forced to learn a shitload about the races in the game for my project), and I am in LOVE with this model. I want to ask you for your permission to take its hand in marriage, it's that good

 

[Hevenblood]

I have an idea. Add the trail of that blue light when it moves.
That would be really cool.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Looks really epic.

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes, i'm gonna add a ribbon emitter to each of the engines to make the blue trail effect. So that's already in progress

Thanks everyone for the comments!

 

[Malcous]

Very nice model =)

 

[De.Facto]

.. Halo, pretty nice model you got.
This is gonna be used for a project?

 

[Fingolfin]

Yes, all my halo models will. But it won't be finished anytime soon i'm afraid.

 

[Aggrius]

That is pure awesomness you know! It looks just like from Halo!

 

[Cthulus]

When this is done, I'm sure it'll get a D/C rating, Fingolfin.
It's so very accurate to the Combat Evolved one, even if you made those edits you mentioned.

 

[Wazzz]

@Cthulus: I couldn't agree more. This model definitely deserves a D/C rating. And, if I may expand on what you said previously, I think that the edits that Fingolfin made are great for a couple of reasons, one being that they look f***ing fantastic =D. The other reason is that it just goes to show that despite the fact that Fingolfin is creating a model based off an existing character/vehicle from an incredibly popular game, he is still able to make it original in his own way while keeping the initial look and making it incredible.

 

[Arowanna]

Looks awesome!

 

[Walle]

this is freaking awesome! if good animations this will totally be a DC!

 

[Dr. House]

very nice but it looks more like the banshee frome halo2 than halo3

 

[Lee_Go]

im just looking at model for first time now and it really is acurate, seeing this while moving with side blue ray effect would be awsome.

 

[Fingolfin]

Do i need to add anims like loop and roll?
i should really try to get this finished soon.

 

[Lee_Go]

It doesnt seems like a hard animations: loop/roll.
If those animations were included it would secure its greatness.

 

[Fingolfin]

I will do so then. But it can still be tricky considered that some people may want to script the loop to make sure it's compatiable with some physics system, so the model mustn't leave it's original position.
I will release this during christmas break.

 

[Misha]

a Halo Banshee.. never thought I'd see one of those here

 

[warman45]

omg this is exactly like the original halo banshee.

seriously it looks like it should be strafing the mk 5 master chief on the level Halo (the secound one)

 

[screamza]

fingolfin your halo models are amazing btw this also helps out for halo wars game i would like to say to you thou you might want to add a unit in the cock pit of the thing like a brute or grunt or like an honor guard(halo wars way before master cheif and all that this was probally the first part fo the story) if you can thanks it would be nice in the banshee

 

[screamza]

wait i got one more idea for it you could have a load function for one unit and when the unit goes in it shows which unit went in that might be much but its an idea eh just spreading em out like butter for you

 

[Fingolfin]

i already have a suloution for this. i will add an attatchment point at where the feet should stick out, and then you just make a "stand large" animation for your unit, in wich it is lying down steering, and add "large" as required anim tag in the object editor.

 

[ELxCaigi]

you fail its from halo 1 2 3 odst and halo wars...

 

[Cthulus]

I'm sure we've all realized that, ELxCaigi.

 

[Wazzz]

ELxCaigi, you don't seem to be the overly perceptive type, eh? I suppose you just mention what you see as soon as you see it with an instant 'fail' despite the topic of the model's origin being discussed eons ago. Perhaps you should consider thinking before speaking? Maybe be a little helpful, hm? How should I word this? After all, I want you to be able to understand what I'm saying.

This model is a mix of the variations the Banshee underwent across the Halo series. It is not from a particular version. It is created in the eyes of what the creator of the model would like for his own inscrutible purposes (inscrutible... that's a lovely word :3). Creating the model from one particular version without any creative input would be, in my opinion and the opinions of many others, incredibly lame. Creating it to optimize the use of the model, however, is great and more than useful. I am sure many others would agree with me.

 

[Cthulus]

Wazzz, I think we can all agree on that one. Good call.
Also, I'd like to suggest an idea to Fingolfin. Maybe you could create a version with an Elite or a Spartan inside, for people who are incapable or are too lazy to do the editing/triggering for such a thing.

 

[MrStonefist]

Nice work

Very nice model i will maybe use it as an alien ship in TSS

[MGCǂSpectre]

This is nice although not from SC2, useful for an alien ship and the texture inside the ship is rly like extraterrestrial. What about the BCrusier?

 

[Cthulus]

Seriously, dude? xD
It's definitely an alien ship, although it's also definitely not from Starcraft.

 

[Fingolfin]

TheTerran: This model is very old, and resembles a vehicle from the halo games. It should have been finished ages ago, but hasn't due to lazyness.
About the BCruiser, as i mentioned to misha, i'm doing final semester on final year now, so i'm very busy finishing all i have to do.

 

[MrStonefist]

When will it be finished? or is it alredy finished?

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/surviving-soldiers-v1-7b-155984/?prev=r%3D20%26page%3D2

 

[Fingolfin]

I'm not sure.
There is basically just one animation left, the death animation, so whenever i feel like i have time to finish it, it would be done fairly quickly.
