In Response To: Re: Preview (LegacyTyphoon)

If I may, I'd like to make a few points. Feel free to take or leave :)

: Anyway...Copied from what I wrote at the "Pfhorums": Alright, I've
: finished the Health cans...they're all pretty much the same except for
: colors...I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

I seem to recall the health cans having one, two or three raised bands as well as being differently coloured. I'm assuming you do too, if I'm not demented on that...

: HOORAY!!! I've finally figured out texturing too...so I'll texture the cans
: before I post screenshots...and maybe I'll get to the Invisibility
: powerup...yes, these are easy things to do...but I'm starting simple.

: Current ideas for some of the text on various models: Ammo Boxes - Will say
: UESC on one side...
: Pistol Ammo: .44 Mega Class
: Vacuum Enabled
: Teflon Covered
: 7 Round Clips

First off - .44 Magnum, and the pistol is Mega Class. I think "Teflon Coated" would work slightly better... and last time I counted rounds, it was 8 per magazine.

: AR Ammunition: .75 Rifle
: High Velocity
: 52 Round Clips

I'd just go for "52 count" rather than mentioning clips. See other posts in this thread - there's probably something else that uses that ammo, although I can't imagine why.

: SMG Ammunition: 4x10mm Flechette
: Sabot Rounds
: 35 Round Clips

So Bungie have short-changed us by 3 rounds per magazine, huh? ;)

: On the guns - Engraved text on barrels
: Pistol: .44 MAGNUM MEGA CLASS SEMI-AUTOMATIC

: AR: MA-75B BATTLE RIFLE
: Grenade Launcher: 40MM GRENADE LAUNCHER

: SMG: KKV-7 10MM FLECHETTE SUBMACHINEGUN

I'd leave off the "weapon type" if it were my decision. Most real-world weapons don't say what they are, just what ammunition is safe to use in them.

: on the back of the shells and grenade shells
: Pistol Shells: .44 HV TEFLON ROUND

I'd leave off "ROUND". Perhaps substitute "UESC"? Similar quibbles with other shells...

: AR Shells: .75 HV ROUND

: SMG Shells: 4x10MM SABOT

: Grenade shells: - Seen on the in-hand model of the AR
: 40MM HE SHRAPNEL

: ...

: Hmm...should I put anything other than "UESC" on the health cans?

Just UESC should do nicely, I reckon.

[snippity!]
: I'm currently using Hash: Animation Master 2004 and I'm trying to learn
: Blender. Hash uses a spline/vector system (I think is what it's called...

Q: Why is it that the more accuracy you demand from an interpolation

function, the more expensive it becomes to compute?
A: That's the Law of Spline Demand.
(from a friend on IRC)

Thanks for the effort on this. I may come across as a carping killjoy in this post, but that's not the intent, honestly! I'm just trying to help make the end result really stupendous, rather than merely excellent ;)
