Hey!

Everyone else seems to be making cool bubble shields and trip mines, but people are focusing on how they work and getting them to work. This is great and what they should do, because that then leaves me the time to work on some better attempts at the actual models.

Please tell me what you think, and anyone who creates a working bubble shield or trip mine with a "not so good" model then i mite let you borrow these

Bubble Shield: Doesnt work yet but can be seen from inside and outside and looks as close as i could get it to the real thing.

Trip Mine: Also doenst work yet and is only a model over the flag base but it is just a test to see the model. i believe it looks similar to the real thing but just needs a orange lens on the top.

Grav Lift: Still needs work on major details, i mite totally redo it all? no effects ATM and obviously doesnt work yet

Dec Loves Nice Comments (And Constructive Criticism)

Thanks.

Looks great, but maybe you should reduce the size of the bubble shield texture, does it have a bumpmap?

The mine look good but the metalic texture looks a bit like rock texture or it's me xD

Do you need some help for it? i can work on the mine, so if you are to near of the mine it explodes, i think i know how to do that.

Looks pretty good.

Excellent work dec

They look great. I'd suggest smaller hexagons but thats me

Both the shield and the trip mine are pretty easy to make really...I'd offer, but I have a bad track record for delivering when offering to help

Look forward to teir implementation in something

All the bubble shield needs is a bump map now. If that works. Or perhaps try to use the active camo shader somehow.

Overall they're visually beautiful. Just needs the functionality now.

I would like to know how to make the mine explode when near someone yeah! and the texture don't really matter all you will see mostly will be the orange light and its explosion as a hog is destroyed

and the bubble shield has been fixed these are old pics i think, and i should of shown the inside

i believe the bubble shield has more straight and ridged edges and sides and the trip mine looks perfect. the bubble shield is more like sets of hexagon glass(straight perfect hexagon) stacked in the form of a circle. but alot better than most bubble shield in looking not program i persume. also it's a bit too clear...make a more blur out version if you want. im watching the vid bungie released when im typing this so im trying to get a better looking one.

So far your bubble shield and trip mine look the best out of everyone that has made one so far. Smaller hexagons would be nice. Anyways good job.

If its possible, it would be cool if the bubble sheild distorts the player's vision when he looks through it.

The bubble shield should have no texture, only a bumpmap consisting of a series of hexagons.

wouldnt work.
i mean what would the bumpmap do if theres no texture to make bumps in?

JunkfoodMan · Post by **JunkfoodMan** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 2:02 pm

I think what you need is to somehow use the active camo shader. Its just a bump map with no texture, and it distorts the player's view.

Bumps don't effect textures, they effect the way light reacts when it comes in contact with a surface. With bumps and no texture, you will end up altering the way light would pass through the shield (much the way MC looks when using active camo). Though I'm not certain the look will be the exact same as the active camo look, I do know you can apply a bump on a transparent surface.

Chad is right... Chad is always right...

And also people! ill get pics up of my grav-lift as-well

and Ive tried using the camo texture with a bump map but it makes the shader go invisible and i cant get a bump on it ATM, and the hexagons are big because of careless UVW mapping of the model

Updates Shortly!
