The New Halo Pack Update Thread

[Gen. Hothauser]

I would ask you to NOT compare MY pack with Tier Tactical. MY pack is not THAT pack. If you dont want it, find another. I'm a huge perfectionist, and it bugs me greatly when things look out of place. Therefore I put ample detail into my weapons. I COULD put even more if I wanted to, but I restrain from doing so. I realize I put good detail, but I also form it abit more into the blocko styling. Like the 8-sided barrel, and more chiseled curves (excluding the Covenant Weapons)

He isn't saying compare it to T+T quality wise, but model-style wise.  T+T has brilliant models because they are simple and blocky enough.  The problem with all of the Halo weaponry we have had up to this point is that they all tried to go for perfect recreations of the ones from the games.  They don't fit into blockland.  Even the Covenant weapons could have been done blocky and still conveyed the look and feel of a Covenant weapon.  If you are trying to be a huge perfectionist, then keep these models, but make a nearly perfect, smoothshaded Halo Spartan playertype, some Halo vehicles, and a Halo map, because without all of those together, something will always look out of place - highly detailed weaponry next to low-poly blockheads, old low-poly vehicles, and badly made maps.

This is exactly the point i was trying to make. Thank you.

Alright. I understand. Thank you for clearing things up. Truly. I MAY make an attempt on perfecting a new modelling method. We shall see. And on the mark of vehicles I'm getting there. and player models... well, thats new territory for me... and maps couldnt be TOO hard :)

And I apologize for earlier, I tend to get a bit defensive sometimes...

You missed the point. Those aren't suggestions. He's saying that your current modelling style looks totally out of place and would only look in place around those things. The point he's basically trying to make is that these look a lot like just low poly halo guns, which they should NOT. they should look like blocko style halo guns, or lego models. Things you can picture a legoman holding. These don't look like that.

Guys it HIS pack. If he want his model to look like that the so be it.

[Serge64]

Oh wow look at that! Midway, I have to say you've improved a lot your modeling skills, specially with that pelican of yours ;P

[Obliviongate20]

Hot bananas, this looks cool. I remember your Aliens pack you were making (You gave me the bullrush and the other revolver, with a clip instead of a cylinder.) Can't wait to see all of the weaponry you're making.

[MunkeyCheez]

midway, can you not have hands on the weapons this time?
i know they're your models and such, but hands (specially ones with fingerless gloves) are really out of fashion these days. i think they'd look better without the hands and such, but it's your pack. this is a suggestion not an demand.

[Zloff]

cool needler

[bambooXD]

oh my muffinz im in luv. so much love...

not to be rude but is it possible you could make the falcon? or the wraith? this doesnt have to be made i was just wondering...
