Halo:Reach Weapons

martynball

I need some crit from the pro's. I have learnt modelling from tutorials and tips and crit from the Halo Custom Edition community.

Some edge flow is pretty bad tbh around these models, especially the shotgun. The Grenade Launcher is my first sub'd model and the Shotgun is my second.

Shotgun:

Looking really nice man Be careful, some of the edges on your high poly models may be a little TOO sharp.

In terms of presentation, the renders and angles are nice, but I would lose the blue background, or at least the vertical lines, as its a little distracting. When you're showing off your work, you don't want any chance of the viewer's attention being taken away from your work.

Looking really nice!

texture or it didnt happen

I'm crap at texturing though I need to bake it first, I might attempt again when I have all of my Uni work done.

Very nice work especially since those are your first hi-poly models. The modeling looks very clean, look forward to seeing how the bakes turn out.

:P

I will attempt the shotgun when Uni work is complete. I want to model the Concussion Rifle from Halo:Reach, it looks interesting :P I like modelling interesting designs, which most Halo designs are. I have been told by many artists to stop modelling Halo things as it won't help me improve much, I can't think of designs though.

Modeling anything helps you improve no matter what it is. Though there are other games that have cool/unique weapon designs other then just Halo. There's always concept weapons out there you could model too. You should consider other designs so you could be the guy who models cool weapons instead of the guy who models only Halo weapons.

They do look really nice. You should definitely attempt texturing, you can't ever improve if you don't even try. (yes, it will take time and lots of practice though)

Nice! The shotgun is my fave gun in Reach.

lewist

Looks really nice. It would be a shame if you didn't a least try to texture them!

Electro

Texture it before moving on to other stuff! Or you'll end up with a portfolio like mine, haha :S

Definitely stick it through to the end.

A Mature community is a nice change

And I don't want crit from immature children which is mostly Halomaps lol, I like crit, no one gives it to me on halomaps and modacity

martynball

Started another one, forgot the name of it so I will just let you guess lol

I haven't played Halo:Reach since I had to leave home for studies purposes (about a week after Halo:Reach got released).
So, I'm not sure, but for me it looks like the Concussion Rifle. No ?

If yes, the CR is a little more reddish than that and has some kind of greenish reflections (As I said, I'm not sure, I haven't got time to really pay attention to these details). But I presume you haven't finished it yet.

But awesome job anyway, good luck for the following.

roosterMAP

what are your render setting? its really nice!

martynball

Cheers and there just default object colours, nothing specific. Will make proper texture and material when finished. And I have changed no settings in the render options apart from the Catmull-Rom Filter, oh and made the surface of the objects a bit shiny and added one or two lights with no settings changed I don't think LOL
