[WIP] Halo Covenant

[somesangheili 111]

So, I start Elites, I use some pictures to get something which is close from Halo Wars Elites :

That my first organic model. It's still W.I.P. (He is dressed with a black combination because it's an Elite who is really glamor.)

EDIT : Omfg, I was revising, then I'm going seeing him, and I saw him with a helmet.

Operation: TREBUCHET's focus is on the Human Insurrectionist War before the Covenant War.

Fully textured, he was born to kill ! :D

I mixed the black and the blue, just like the armor of Arbiter when he is still commander of spaceship :

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141014214816/halo/images/0/0f/H2A_Cinematic_GoldenArbiter2.jpg

Because I found that really beautiful, but if you prefer an just "blue" uniform, why not, I can make an alternative texture. I am really satisfied about the render, I hope that he pleases you as much as to me.

It's my first organic modelling and finally it's not so distant from the modelling of weapons. But create armor is really hard, I'm obliged to respect the morphology of the Elite, it is really complicated. The release gets closer more and more you don't find ?

BEAUTIFUL! Love the dark and blue mixture, it makes the armor look more detailed. Now you only need that blue to become red, golden yellow and white and with that there will be enough variants for this armor. Then you could make the spec ops armor, and that should be enough. Of course ther are other armors, nut that is up to you, whether you see capable of adding them or not and you don't get stuck with them.

my only issue is the fingers are a bit thin, amazing otherwise

Yeah, it looks like a bent spike rather than a finger. I think more beefiness throughout the fingers would help

[drakedaeron 13]

Yeah you're right, I have change this, what do you think now ? It is cool to have notices ! :)

Would love to see the General in the future

Other than that, very impressive work so far.

[drakedaeron 13]

I am now able to tell you exactly the contents of this first release :

-Plasma Rifle

-Plasma Pistol

-Energy Sword

-Fuel Rodd Cannon

-Ghost

-Elite with minor armor

No CSAT Retexture so, but directly Elites. The First Release come probably in July, It's very likely but you never can tell what can arrive in the life of everything in daytime. The contents will not move for this first release, no addition at the last minute. I think of redoing Ghost later according to the ingame render of this one. However, even if it will not be magnificent quality you will have all the same the opportunity to play with and to accustom you to manipulate him. The next major addition will be the dropship Spirit.

Now that you are informed, you just have to be patient. :)

[somesangheili 111]

Sounds great! Can you give us a sitrep on what you're working on (besides the Ghost) until the release? I'm curious.

Cannot wait for release which will hopefully be next week

Any plans for the Brute Plasma Rifle (Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae)? http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Type-25_Directed_Energy_Rifle/Jiralhanae_variant

Seems like it would be a simple enough retexture of the current plasma rifle and would be cool to have even if the brutes never get made, because it shoots faster at the cost of having a lower power bolt.

Brutes will be made, and Brutes weapons will come with Brutes. However, Brutes are rather secondary on my schedule... But already let us see how behaves Elites in ArmA 3, I would see for the other species later.

Ah, I was just wondering, because on the main page Brutes were listed under the "Maybe but not sure if can/will be done category." I was assuming that if they weren't made at some point then it'd still be worth adding their plasma rifle because it wouldn't be a lot of work (compared to adding the spiker, mauler, bruteshot, gravity hammer, etc.)

An idea would to have brute AI be less accurate but overall more resiliant to damage (lower default skill levels)

[ECHO439 10]

when is the release coming?
