I would also appreciate if any 3D artists could take on the assignment to Help me create all the units for this mod. In the rate I'm creating the units now, I can't see the finish line.

So PLEASE, unit creators. Help us finish this mod! Thanks :D

:D I'm a 3d modeler :p
I'll try and start on some units, by the time I get the ones I'm working on now compleated I should be pretty fast, well.....faster than I am now anyway ;)
I'm not really familiar with........:hmm: anything now that I think about it. Is there a site that has most of the characters on it for reference?

I could mail you some pictures.

And please post what unit you intend to do, so that I and my 2 friends who might help me won't do them.

Try:

With alittle more playing around, the wings are giving me trouble, it looks like I can duplicate the purple thing almost exactly :) and if I can do that, then I should be able to do the dropship ;) but I haven't attempted anything on it yet, though it looks easier.

Ok, here is two zip files with images of the two units. They are not perfect, but the Ghost has one from "almost" the side.

I've started a new strategy into creating the Halo Units. I will try and make as many units I possibly can, and make still animations of them. And after a while, I will make the Attack animations first (as that is most important), and then the Death. And when it's needed, I will create the rest of the animations.

This will really speed up the process. And I recommend it for anyone that wants to help me with this. Mainly bhiita I guess ;) (I got two friends here helping me aswell, but I don't know how much they will do)

Jedi Outcast, it will be just sitting in a level like a hanger or a base or somthing

EDIT: I would need it in a format gmax can handle also what format did you make it in?

Grey Fox
Mar 16, 2003, 03:19 PM
It's made in 3D Studio Max, but I can export it in several different file formats.

Random Observer

gmax can import AutoCAD and 3DS so you can pick whichever one.

Added link to the Grunt (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48040) in the first post.

And so you won't start working on them. My friends are working on the ATV, and the Elite unit.
