Bradster's Update Discussion

In response to opening communication amongst the group, I'm starting this topic so people can see how I'm progressing with development. Instead of contacting with people privately, I'll be posting more publicly for now on.

I've been researching architecture of the halo universe and have stumbled across many concepts that I believe would fit nicley in the mod:

Also I have been dabbing in Uniform for both odst's and marines:

I'm wondering what the stance is about ripped files, I understand that direct rips are not allowed, but what about heavily modified models?

I found a really nice set of armor for the odst's, http://i.imgur.com/ezKTxFa.png
I'm rigging it now to see how it fits on pilot coveralls, which should perform nicely as an underarmor, once retextured

hey this stuff looks great! im glad to see an update posted as well. the bulding is looking really good man. is the geo lod etc working? :)

as far as using "ripped" models however, i say we stay away from ripped models completely. while it's not necessarily illegal it is highly frowned upon in the arma community. i have seen many mods completely die because of the negative input that was received once it was revealed that things were ripped. i dont want this mod to carry the same faith. that being said, FREE TO USE models are okay, or even purchased models. 2 optiones we have there are 1. 3d warehouse, to my knowledge those models are free to use for non profit projects. so i see no real issue porting those AND MODIFING THEM to fit our needs. if you guys find the most godly model on the planet on turbosquid or something and buy them (not saying you will) then of course that would be okay as well. but lets stay away from ripping models please.

i posted some updates of the frigate on the forum thread. making progress, slowly.

Thanks for the reply, I've removed modified ripped assets from my projects and have started working with free models.

The odst armor has too many vertices for arma ¬_¬, so I'm refining it to playable standards, then maybe map a normal in the future. The armor is from warehouse, and the author allows usage as long as credit is given.
