In this update I will be showing you all the levels of the UNSC Starbase and our HFO Main Theme

Posted by Ds_0001 on May 25th, 2009 digg this super bookmark

Over the past few weeks Abyssinian has been hard at work modeling the UNSC Starbase. He completed it and then out of the blue he even made a texture for all five levels! Sure it's not the best looking texture in the world but he's getting there. We have agreed to make this a temporary skin until he either improves or we find someone to help us out.

This isn't all the work that has been going on! Behind the scenes our Lead Sound Technician, Tay or more well known as Stealth has been hard at work with sounds, voice acting and even making music. Below is his first completed song for HFO and is titled ‘The First Offensive '. He has spent many hours writing, making and perfecting the song to make it fit as best as it can into the Halo universe.

Also a little side note from Stealth, he tells me that you should turn up your sound as the starting is a little quite. Well that's enough from me stay tuned for the next update!

Good morning, good evening and good night

You know your models would look an awful lot nicer in a different render setup, the background is far to distracting.
A simple dark grey background with a simple 3 point light setup (Strong white/orange light from back, desat orange/yellow as main light casting where camera is looking and a side light, light blue/tyan low light.

Yep, and whilst they are bigger images, still only 40% of the screen shows the model you are intending to show off.
The background is only distracting my eyes away from the model itself.

I agree, great work but the screenshots are a little overwhelming with all the other stuff going on.

However its quite a nice style and if you want to stick with it, perhaps just make the rest of the scene darker, centralise the featured model and add a spotlight just to focus the attention.

Otherwise, sterling work! :-D
