Neox

Hey guys,

we got the permission to post some of these  

Starting in 2014 we had the chance to support 343 Industries and Microsoft on their Multiplayer Production of Halo 5. We did many of the armors and will post them all once they are public.It was a very collaborative projects, with one or 2 main artists on a suit and if needed others to support them, be it with extra conceptual work or just liftig workload.
Our artists on Halo 5:
Andrey ChuloshnikovBenjamin HaleBenjamin SauderBoris PatschullChristian FischerChristian RüsselerDavid FraassJoao Sapiro JosueMarco LealMunise SertelPatrick SchindlerSteffen Unger

Yes, no sculpting or whatever voodoo involved, all classic SDS modelling.
Mostly to stay flexible with changes and be able to get the data from any 3d software into maya for baking.

Not sure about that, I can ask if we can show some. But on many suits we did a lot of trickery with floaters. not all of these indents and vents and shit here are ingerated but thanks to normalmaps they appear flawless.

hhmm some of these are a long way off, some of the indents and details just seem to be there by proxy and have no purpose other than to look Sci-fi.
Keep going though, I'm sre you will nail it eventually!

Awesome! Any extra insight into their creation is appreciated! I need to level up my sds modelling!

 Are floaters bad practice ?

No no totally not, as anything they have there good uses and downsides., you would be surprised how much we floated on some meshes. As they give you quick and easy results. but the highpolies do not look as impressive therefore, for instance for movie pipelines this will not work, unless it is going to be normalmapped. On the later armors we mostly got rid of these practices, as one of the downsides of them is, that if changes come in you can mostly rebuild the floaters, so if you do use them you better know that you will not have heavy changes coming in.

That said, i will ask if we can show any construction shots, but as I didn't see any so far, i guess it will not be allowed.

i guess thanks for your first post in 2015, the suits are concepted by 343 and while I agree on some parts we could definitely have interpreted the concepts differently, lets say design was not our task on these
