I would definitely go to meet backflip and juices, no way they can possibly be the real life version of the characters they play here.

I was going to keep this all on the down-low but I'll go mad if I hold this out any longer. Need feedback to keep me motivated, positive or negative is doesn't matter.

Looks fantastic man!

The helmet in particular is badass. Are you going to texture it, or just complete the model? I know it's a shiton of work.

Thank you, I aim to do all permutations properly modeled and textured, it is a shit-ton of work but I love the design and games. Simply if it was not for halo I would never have tried to be an artist. So this is my thanks to Bungie and the community, and a great challenge to build my skills on.

It sucks, I hate it, delete it now and burn your computer into ashes.

It's awesome, though I think I'm nuts, cause I think the visor should be slightly bigger.

Nutter · (08-03-2009, 04:07 AM)

I will be going to Pax this year. Though I might just stay for 1 day. Depending on what my fiance has planned.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if you ever get the chance to play with them and hear them on XBL they're 100% legit.

OMG that map has me Seattle-dreaming. I'm a sucker for road trips. And for maps.
Unfortunately, there is no way I can swing it this year.

I'll definitely be at PAX East.

I hope so, they're awesome when not dbags

Man I wish I could go to pax :( I almost went to blizzcon too! Maybe next year I'll skip the animu convention I usually go to and go to pax. Or maybe just save up a bit more and somehow do both. :| ah well, you guys better take lotsa pics!

Wow, that's some impressive stuff. Keep going I say, get the whole model down.

Falt · (08-03-2009, 12:52 PM)

Bummed I missed out on customs this week. Hopefully I'll be around next weekend. I'm GMT and let's just say that usually at 2am on a Sunday morning I'm rowdy and looking for pizza.

Edit: Venus De Recon, looking awesome. What's your plans for this?

Incredible work, man. I tried to come up with something more expressive and worthy of all the effort and talent that's gone into this, but Monday morning's at work don't make the words flow well for me.

BTW - if anyone here is interested in some 1v1 competition, Forge Hub is starting sign-ups now until the 15th. The prizes are pretty cool this time around, and you'll get to play on some great 1v1 maps. Hit the link for more info.

When I was looking at your model it seemed like the visor part of it wasn't accurate. But I went back and looked at some of my friends character shots and it's spot on. I guess it just looks differently because I'm normally paying attention to the goldish-tinted visor part of it and not the black part of the visor.

I'd love to see a Security one.

~B.B.

*edit*

Can someone link me to a file-share with "Sandstorm" on it (the map from last page). B.net is wiggin' out on me this morning, and I'd love to DL that map while I'm thinking about it. Thanks in advance.

Remember to follow the HaloGAF Twitter account if you would like Halo and HaloGAF updates on the go. It's been helpful for a few people that don't always come into this thread.

Neverender · (08-03-2009, 03:16 PM)

Hey what times (in whatever timezone) do you guys normally get down with the customs of a weekend? I want to try and organise my Sunday morning so I can get some games in this weekend. (Aus)

Around 8:00 EST is when they usually start.

Thanks Brosephine

Blueblur1 · (08-03-2009, 03:21 PM)

Every Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT which I believe is Midnight UTC-4. If someone could double check that I'd be eternally grateful. I'm not good with time zone conversions.

Falt · (08-03-2009, 03:24 PM)

Randomly browsing b.net. I came across this guy.

Is that just a really clever emblem or is it unlocked when you receive recon? I've never seen the likes and going by his screenshots, he doesn't seem to have recon. Made me go "hmmm".

Thanks Dax. Still getting the stupid ASP.net error on B.net though. I'll text Tom and see if it's on their side or mine. I'll hopefully get it queue sometime today.

Ghaleon, mind if I run some customs on it for our H3ITWP Friday Fustoms?

~B.B.

*edit* @Falt, it's just toggling the image of an emblem to make it look like that.

Looks like the Ninja icon with some background one set to the same colour. The Grunt facemask by the looks of it...

As long as you give feedback, it shouldn't be a problem.

Just booted up halo to fiddle about with the emblem and you're right. Clever emblem it is then.

Shake Appeal · (08-03-2009, 04:23 PM)

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but wouldn't the recon chestplate and shoulders suit the recon helmet better?

On another note, maybe we'll get another vidoc this week, that would be pretty sweet.

And yet you are. You have some sort of agenda that you're trying to push?

DcLevartho · (08-03-2009, 04:34 PM)

Shake, the recon helmet was something I had started earlier, but decided to leave in the scene for now as something to ogle at. The first scene I do will feature a familiar spartan with standard (but damaged) MK VI armor.

However I will be modeling all the permutations eventually so don't fret on that.

Looks great. You planning a career in 3D modeling? And what are you using to build?

Thank you, and yes that would be my ideal career. I've been doing this for about 6 years now starting at the age of 12. I use 3dsmax 2010 and will be using ZBrush for detailing.

Fuck man, you've got some major talent going on there. I'd put good money on you making it in the designing world. Either in games or whatever else comes along. Have you got any links to your work?
