Hello guys, a while back I saw a topic that talked about some guys that were making Halo ships for Bridge Commander. After that one news topic on BC Files I have not seen or herd anything in a year.. I was hoping to find some info on it? Was it ever finished? Are there some Halo ships I could pop in my game?
I need the ships for a video I am working on and was hoping to find some info on it...
If that project has been terminated I have some models already made, but I have no idea how to get them into BC with hard points and stuff... I hope this is the right place to post this. haha..
->LINK TO MODEL: http://www.mediafire.com/?by2qfa2wx1v0bgn
UPDATE: 11/23/12
It seems that I am the only one with models that are worth popping into BC so I have started my own little project. Every time I update a model I'll post them below.
The most completed model I have is of the UNSC Prowler, pics below:
Pics from long ago:

could we maybe get some renders, or pics of these models?
-
I have a couple for Legacy, what have you made?
-
I have a couple for Legacy.
ok. maybe we had a spot of misinterpretation here. i asked you if you could post a few pics in this thread OF these models your asking for conversion, this may catch the eye of someone here willing to do this.
what have you made?
im not even going to respond to this.
-
Did you even look at the two different usernames, or did you just assume they were the same because of the no-avatar-and-sig thing? :P
-
OP here, I can post some pics in the next hour or so.
-
Cyanide, your condescension is absolutely offensive. I was not addressing your post whatsoever.
-
Pics added to the OP
-
My bad guys. This is what I get for doing a million things at one. My apologies to both of you.
-
It's cool :) So do you think I could get some help here with this? I have some cool models but I can't seem to get them into the proper format nor do I really know how to hard-point and script.... I'd really like some of my models in the game asap for my video project :o
-

Since I have an early day from work on account of being half sick, I can convert them for you,. But i dont have the time to do the hardpoints unfortunatley, I would love to myself but between the SP mod and my personal stuff im pretty swamped.. Im pretty sure SOMEONE would want to them though.
-
Hmm I can Hard-point them, my nephew plays Halo a-lot so I cou;d get some Info- from him. And after Cyniade can convert it.
But I am concerned about doing Halo stuff,. :idk:
-
But I am concerned about doing Halo stuff,. :idk:
Why is that?
I'll have a link to the model in the morning.
-
Don't listen to him, Elijah, he is attempting to be falsely modest :) Tiq could hardpoint an English muffin and it would be amazing to QB in.
-
Cyanide, your condescension is absolutely offensive. I was not addressing your post whatsoever.
dont mind him, he is just a bitch when he doesnt have his beer...
we can all relate, or least i can lol :P
oh, and when he doesnt read posts properly - that too lol :P
anyway... :P

I thank you for confidence, I'm only as good as the model [er]

then there are three of us :funny cheers to all bitching lads :thumbsup:
and before Jimmy throws me out of the airlock, I'll say something constructive about this mod
great idea :thumbsup:
-
:drink2:
cheers to that.
anyhoo, as soon as a link is posted ill convert them and send them over to Tiq(?) then :funny
-
Halo ships are sadly missing from bc. The models also look pretty good. Definitely looking forward to see if something develops out of this especially with halo 4 right around the corner.
-
Sorry guys, I knew I told you I'd post it yesterday morning but I saw some problems with the textures and figured that if this was the one to be going into BC I wanted it to look its best :p I have no idea how it will look in-game though :/
I added a link to the model in the OP
If it helps who ever is willing to HP this for me I'll make a few pictures detailing what hard point should go where
-
What is the OP? :idk:
A guide to what goes where would be nice.
-
What is the OP? :idk:
Original post ;)
I'll get started on some HP pics right away.
-
One thing I'm not sure about though is that this actually isnt the unsc prowler. The model is still good, but its really a unsc frigate of some kind. You can name it whatever you like though.
-
There are actually no picture of a Prowler, but from the books it sounds basically like the Charon-Class Light Frigate but without the hanger bay.
-
These are amazing!
-
Awesome ! first time I saw PoA and IAC I loved those designs ! have a cookie :thumbsup:
-

Actually a Prowler looks almost like a klingon or romulan ship. It looks nothing like any other UNSC ship. The model you made more closely resembles a Paris-Class heavy frigate, noting the absence of the large hanger bay on the bottom. Its almost impossible to tell the difference between the UNSC's frigates due to their similar shape and size. Their only real difference is in arms and armor as well as fleet duties, all of which are kinda hard to tell with just a model.
This is what a prowler actually looks like: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_prowler

Good point, I had completely forgotten about that it showed up in that mini.. There can always be more than one class of Prowler haha :p It looks a lot like the Paris Class cus its kinda a kit bash. I was working on making a Paris Class but could never get the lower section to look right, so I just took it out and moved the aft hull forward a bit. When I did that it takes 1/4th of its length down and kinda makes it look more leak (well, for a human Halo ship) so I thought it could make a cool Prowler or light frigate.
-
bump?
-
anyhoo, as soon as a link is posted or pmed to me, ill convert them and send them over to Tiq then :funny
:yeahthat:
-
I posted a link to the model in the first post a while back but here it is again
http://www.mediafire.com/?by2qfa2wx1v0bgn
-
sorry, i just got them. should be converted and sent to Tiq by saturday.... holiday week and all...
-
Its cool, I still don't need this stuff for a while haha. I hope everyone is having an awesome Thanks Giving!

May want to hold out a little bit, I have decided to redo the ships textures. As it is right now it has no light or bump map (BC uses them right?) and it would probably look a load better if it was done..

BC doesn't use bump maps but it does use speculars. :)

if thats the case, PM me the link when they are finished than :)

I'll send you a copy asap
Updated the textures, they were a little bad :nono: and added bump mapping!

Darn, wish I had seen that BEFORE I added bump maps haha.. oh well, they are pretty much the same thing, I'll see about it. The Bump map I added is kinda just in there, the frigate is really shiny, but its a wip, to be expected to have some problems haha...

No worries it's just BC showing its age. Nice Frigate by the way. Can't wait to see what else you have.
-
I'm doing some work on some covi ships and the Halo 3 era Charon-class light frigate.
-
i have the ship in bay and set up... as far as i can tell. :D
no bump mapping, as the texture files are set up wit BC-Friendly TGA maps, with Speculars set up based on what was in the Alpha Channel of the provided TIFF images.
all in all 10 1024 maps. (5 diff 5 spec)

^i would reccommend making these engine ports glow.. but thats me
if somethings amiss, let me know guys.
-
Looks awesome! However there is a problem I see, Prowler_Front_Main has the wrong texture applied to it :S frigate_base should be the texture that goes there. This probably comes from building it in sections :p I did not know that BC did not like that..

noted, ill make the changes the next time i boot up max.
thought something look funky.
-
Should call it the Forge instead of Foundry.
-
Alright, changed it. And thanks for looking into that problem! :thumbsup:
-
I didn't realize, it had so many missile placements , until my nephew showed me.
-
Yeah, these things are like practically what happens when a battlestar and basestar have a baby: missiles for capital ships, guns for fighters, and a giant coilgun just for the hell of it. (not sure if this ship will have one)
-
Called a MAC in-universe. The Mother of Invention in Red vs. Blue had one. My vote is yes, give her a MAC.
-
Yes, it is equipped with a magnetic acceleration cannon on deck 4. it takes up most of the upper middle part of the ship. you can see the barrel of the cannon in a few of the screens above. I'll post photos latter tonight of what is what and how it should be hard-pointed
-
all in all 10 1024 maps. (5 diff 5 spec)

OH those look good, might want to ask But I don't think Speculars need to be that big. :D
-
I knew it was called a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, but I called it a coil gun for effect. Anyway I wasn't sure Elijah would give her one given her size (and the fact that RvB isn't exactly universe canon) but it is good to know that she will carry one.
-
All UNSC frigates have One MAC as their primary weapon plus several Archer missile pods and point defense turrets as well as a few shivas ;). Loving the textures by the way.
-
Well, most ships do, not alllll of the. The ship we are currently working on is around 3/4th the size of the ship on RvB so it would not be hard to imagine that it would be equipped with a MAC.
Quick question for you guys: After this is all finished, what is another Halo Universe ship that you would like to see made?
-
Halcyon.
-
The Infinity :D
Baring that, I'd say either a the Marathon class cruiser (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Marathon-class_heavy_cruiser) or the Paris class (halo reach frigate) (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Paris-class_heavy_frigate), although the UNSC destroyer (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_destroyer) would also be good as well.
-
Halcyon.
:yeahthat:
-
I'm leaning to the Marathon class at this point. My modeling skills are not toooooo awesome and the more recent halo ships have 900,000% more details than the older ones. I'll start with the old and work my way up haha. Also, if you guys have any tips or anything that would help. I like making models, but am pretty new to how things are run in BC.
What version of the Halcyon class do you guys like more? The one that is in Reach, or the one that is in the classic Halo 1?

Both have there merits, though you may be better off with the CE:A version as it has a few more details.

anything else before i box it and ship it?
-
If you make the Halcyon class, make it the Reach/CE:A version. You have to assume that was the intended appearance of the Autumn, if in 2001 they could've gotten away with it. You should be able to kitbash that model and with some modeling magic, make a Marathon class.
-
Yeah definity go with the Halcyon or Marathon class. Halcyon would probably be easier as there are more shots of it with the PoA, but its up to you. I would say the Reach or CE:A version as well.

It looks like the decals are now not there? :s

speaking of the decals.. i want to emphasize you sending me something better to use as a specular map besides the one i threw together here... its the reason (i think) why those aft decals clash with the rest of the hull... if they are supposed to be that way than ok
-
Sorry, its a wip texture, I'll fix it at some point lol
-
its alright.
i can keep ahold of the model untill you jog one up if you wish?

I saved Most of CYs pics and my nephew is helping to determine , what goes where (or close).

Hey guys, I'm back after 9,000 years.. system crashed and had to re-install windows :/ I backed up the models though! I'll post pics of hard points asap!
