One time me and a buddy of mine took the gunpowder out of a few fireworks, and filled a pen with it, and put one of those little firecracker things in party poppers with the string in the tip of the pen, so the string stuck out of the tip, we tied a bit of yarn to that, stood about 3 feet away...

I am attempting to create headlong from halo2 in source, from scratch. I'm trying to get it as close to the game as possible. The trees are only placeholders, as I still need to find a decent palm tree model. tell me what you think: I just finished with this road texture:

Bored again today, and since I think VTOL's are nifty, I am working on a prefab VTOL. It is fully flyable, with the capability to take off and land verticly. While in forward flight, the rotors tilt forward. The rotors will face upwards while not moving forwards, or if you press the right...

yet again... bored...

Sorry for the double post, but I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the new screens above ^

I am going to have half of it models, the other half func_detail, as that will be alot smoother than just func_details, or just models.

I got bored, so I threw something together in hammer:

yea, the whole button method, not the greatest, as you fall right off of the vehic most of the time. But for hl2 and hl2dm, look for a tutorial on a brush jet, which explains how to get the gameui/prisonerpod working, and combine it with how the thrusters/logic are set up in that c:ss vehicle...

I wish I could model... I am trying to learn though.

Well, I've been bored again, so I got on chromehounds, and started to build my mech from CH in hammer. I only have the legs and a sniper rifle so far, and both are both still WIP. If you've played CH, you will probobly recognise the legs, as theyh are the legs you recieve during the soldier...

I've been fixing up some of the lighting, and re-did a couple of textures from scratch. I started to add some of the smaller, yet important bits, like supports for the catwalks, etc. Some new screenies: Just had to show a pic of this texture.... it just looks cool. ^

Just for the hell of it, I changed some of the lights to white lights, rather than red-ish. It gives it a different feel, but I prefer the red lighting more. Anyways, I want some opinions on wich lighting looks better. (note: the cubemaps aren't built in the pics) Also, I've added a few...

I'm trying to spruce up a few lights with sprites, but the only problem is that they will not appear in-game, Is there something special I need to do to get them working? edit: im getting this error message in the console: Precache of sprites/blueflare1 ambigious (no extension specified)...

pretty nice vegeta, and to answer your question, I just eye it. I've never really used actual measurments or anything, I just look at a few photos and make it.

update I made the treads/wheels, and did a quick texture job to see how it looked. Don't know whats up with the last pic ^
