Halo 3 (End of Earth)

rossgemuend · Post by **rossgemuend** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:19 pm

Alright, I'm making a music-driven action video using 3dsmax in which the forunner ship that left the covenant stronghold (High Charity) reaches the ark (earth) and what's left of the covenant armada (600 battle cruisers and 100 capital ships) are right behind it. Cought in the middle of the inevitable slaughter is a Leviathan class ship (POA Class). On this ship (litterally on top of the ship) the masterchief faces off against multiple elites in hand to hand combat. Close overhead is the last of Earth's forces (700 Leviathan class ships) colliding with the covenant fleet in a heroic, but futile last stand for human survival. The masterchief will jump from the forunner ship, be intercepted by a pelican, and brought to the nearest leviathan class ship (thus how he gets to the hand to hand combat). The following battle is the most important part of the video and it's meant to be viewed as earth's last chance, even though it makes no difference in the surrounding onslaught. Below are renders of my progress. Some of the lights have no logical source, so please don't critique the lighting (unless you have suggestions). I am still relatively new at 3dsmax too.

what does having windows xp have to do with it? all of my computers have xp. You may need to make sure you have the right codecs though, i used divx for this clip.

just a little update, i'm redoing the entire scene so it matches to the song i've chosen, it will be a full music video when finished. It is now mc vs 3 elites too.

thats very good keep it up but i have only one suggestion: after about the 4th elite have the 5th one have a gun with him so it keeps the viewer interested
