Tashi's Weekly Montage Series - Episode 4 - The Mid-Season Finale

This will be the last episode for about 3 weeks or so. I really wish I could have sent out the first half of the season with a really great one but my I had an internet outage for almost an entire week. This is really a 4 day montage. The outage is also why it is late. Thanks for watching and see you in a few weeks!

Didn't notice this post until just now. Good stuff!

If I was able to pull off any of that I'd probably evolve into a higher life form.

Fuck, and you complain about having a few n-gons in your wires? Fuck you man! If I could hard-surface model like that (AND without the use of floaters on top of that) I would take over the modeling scene! Got any tips for someone who is going head-first into learning hard surface modeling in the coming months?

EDIT: and you mentioned they were viewport renders? How? Ambient occlusion like that in viewport? What? hahaha

I have a 3D modeling class, and honest to God, I have no idea what any of those terms are.

I should probably stop just browsing gaf in class.

Browse and read up on the wiki at Polycount.com. I swear to my life that you will learn more there than you will in any class that you can take. (maybe, but if not, it's close). /OT

On topic: I love Halo. And MLG. Halo 4 looks awesome. Yay Frankie!

Go to Polycount University, post your shit, and get feedback. Repeat until better. I got no schooling, just some time (about a year now) and practice.

Edit: You beat me to it. As for advice? Honestly, I have looked everywhere , paid and not, for guides and video series, and they all mostly fail to explain the exact rules for topology. knowing where to put e-poles and n-polesand understanding techniques to make holes is nice, but even then, there are a lot of things that don't get explained.
The technique is kind of ineffable I think. Just practice and force yourself to make difficult inorganic flowing curves and and get yourself deep into topology problems and practice rerouting them with the knife tool. EXPERIMENT with small and difficult looking shapes, if you get stuck, post to the 'How you model them shapes' thread on Polycount. Don't be afraid to delete your piece and start over.
Make sure you get a fast workflow with everything shortcutted. I can stress that last part enough, otherwise modeling becomes tedious rather than fun.

What do you think about the idea of an all-randoms team playlist - I think COD and maybe some other games did it. Do you think that would work out much?

May not be the best solution for the MLG playlist for sure, but if Reach didn't have a zillion playlists, maybe MLG could get a few more, maybe even special weekend playlists or something. I think it would be interesting, not only from a MLG gameplay standpoint, but from the a community standpoint too.

Then again, any such playlist would live or die by the quality of the Trueskill matching.

I've always thought it would be cool to have this since I am usually playing solo. It's never fun to be matched up against a group of non-randoms when you're playing alone.
especially in Reach. shudders...

+1 to Halo 3 Campaign Missions being stalled by Cortana bullshit.

But I was wondering did it ruin the early H3 levels and their replayability for anyone else? I mean, I first played the game on Legendary so anything that stalled me from beating the level just gained a ton of resentment and being stopped in my footsteps was just that.

Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to ask if the Cortana images hurt the game's replayability overall or just the level Cortana? It didn't hurt the game's replaybility for me; they're only 5-10 seconds max and one or twice per level. Plus they're completely absent from The Ark and The Covenant (until the end of the level).

Edit: The option to turn them off would've been great.

If you read the thread, you know that he is talking about the Cortana dream sequences that happened during Sierra 117, Crows Nest, and The Storm. Lately they interrupt the game flow. But personally they are not annoying or stupid like other "dream sequences".

Yes, I did read the thread, but I was still confused as his post in this thread talks about "the level." Singular. Cortana has more images than every other level combined (or seems like it). Not "the game," but" the level." So I asked for clarification. Sorry I can't be as internet proficient as you sometimes.

Yeah. But he said "Halo 3 Campaign Missions" and "early H3 levels" too. Sorry Dax. I can read.

I've been trying to use stream dl tools to download that Instinct vs Classic series in 720p glory, unsuccessful so far, and video capture is just ugly, oh well. Here's to hoping we get another amazing series like that today. ZBNS is soooo good.
