The actual film will have the original voices from the film Dodgeball but 95% of it will be filmed in Halo (the other 5% will be animations taken from the film). Here's a few things completed so far:
-Dodgeball model
-Dodgeball skin
-Wrench Model
-Wrench skin
-Map modded to fit "Dodgeball"
Yes that's right. A wrench. Because if you have seen the original film you'll remember Patches O'Hoolihan saying "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" The wrench seen will be included in the film and a small piece in the trailer. Time for some pictures:
The dodgeball Prototype (it says ADAA on the front "American Dodgeball Association of America" But I was going to change it to "Spartans Dodgeball Association of Halo" but that would clash with the voices.
Ok. The wrench model looks terrible because of 2 reasons:
a. Halo PC doesn't allow you to add or remove vertices or indices (i remodeled it from a frag grenade)
b. I've never modelled before...
It would be great if someone could make a better wrench model (credit will be given). But, there's 2 problems with the wrench:
1. When the wrench hits the ground after its been thrown it just bounces into the air very slowly and just rotates in the air (see in video)
2. I remodeled it out of the first frag grenade model so as it moves further away the wrench changes back to a silver hand grenade.
The test video is at the bottom. Here's a few things i need to do:
-Create the Dodgeball stadium
-Get a better wrench model
-Fix the wrench error
That's all i can think of for now but because I have kept this secret I need people from Halomods to act. Not everyone can be one of the main characters but some people can be in the crowd during Dodgeball games (I was planning to just place cyborg bipeds there but a bit of life would be nice)
Heres the parts we need some people to act:
Peter La Fleur
White Goodman
Kate Veatch
Patches O'Houlihan
Justin
Gordon
Cotton McKnight (Commentator)
Pepper Brooks (Commentator)
Tournament Referee
Random Crowd people
I think that's all. If you wanna play one of the actors reply here in this thread and add me to your msn (marcsteene5@msn.com)
