i wasn't planning on asking him...hes to busy lol
 
 and get ahead of myself?...just setting up a rough path..we need it finished and mapped first i know
  
 
  
  
    hey Everyone
 
 well im tired of seeing the Elite in Halo and i wanna play as one really bad
 
 so..im going to make an ettempt to TRY and make a Covenant Elite
 
 i tried 2 tiems last night and i just kept ****ed up lol
 
 if ANYONE can find FRONT BACK OR SIDE pictures of him relaxed and not opened mouth i would REALLY appreciate them
 
 i had the 2 very good pics from bungie's truth and reconcilliation site but i need some better pics
 
 or if someone wants to draw them (Icepool i would really love it if u could draw him good, i know ur a good drawer BUT its only if u want to, im happy with the IAG pics u drew)
 
 but i should have some WIP pics if i don't **** it my last 2 attempts...unless someone makes him im NOT going to stop until i make him
 
 
 and if u think he won't fit into the bone structure...ur wrong...he will =O)
 
 
 so plz..SOMEONE make him..i can't nail his head worth ****
  
 
  
  
    I'd draw him for you but i dont have a clue as to who he is. Unfortunately I've never been able to play Halo or even an xbox due to limited money over the last year.:(
  
 
  
  
    So much for reading this thread.
 
 Anyway good luck on whatever you're trying to make.
 
 *flies away in search of something a little more interesting*

 i really hate people like that

    Hey i'd model it too:p was thinking about it actualy
 lets see your WIPs maybe we can help out :\
 I happen to have a copy of XBOX right with me:d
 Now If I could just reprogram it so I can disable AI in HALO:D..

 Shaders are goign to be a MASSIVE factor in this model however:)
  
 
  
  
    thankx Agent..

 Spartn is my MSN name and Zero is my AIM name..message me on MSN im avoiding someone on AIM lol
 
 also ill get my digital camera and take some in game pics...thers like 4 different elites for EACH color so i dunno what one im going to get lol
  
 
  
  
    I can think of five classes of Elites. No reason they can't all be in the game seeing as how they're just different colors.
  
 
  
  
    There are three classes of Elite.
 
 Red and Blue command Squads.
 
 Purple and Maroon are the Word and Will version. They are shock/commando versions of the above.
 
 Gold Elites command entire Units. there are only 8 in the game on Legendary.
 
 I will say you are going to be VERY hard pressed to make one with only as many polys as are available.. And you're going to have to have custom animations for EVERYTHING.
  
 
  
  
    Ok then, five colors of Elites. Blue, red, gold, silver, and black.
  
 
  
  
    darth it will work as a regular player
 
 and as for ranks your wrong lol
 
 each color has about 3 differnt helmets
 
 round
 
 3 points
 
 and some other i think it only has 2 points that are in the middle
 
 and they are for all the dark blue
 
 then red
 
 then light blue
 
 then gold
 
 then platnium
 
 i have the game and i get bored..what can i say =OD
 
 as for grunts...no one cares lol
  
 
  
  
    The complete list of Elite colors is as follows:
 Blue (Basic)
 Red (Higher Ranking)
 Cloaked
 Un-Cloaked Silver-Blue
 Gold (Highest Ranking)
 Black (Covert Ops)
 
 I belive Gold would be the best choice, I also have a Covenant plasma sword in the works right now. Let me know if you would like to use it

    i won't be able to make him =O\
 
 so i think someone else of better modeling talents should try...i can't nail his head really well or his upper body...so i won't be able to make him =O(
  
 
  
  
    lol..i always give up to soon
  what do u think...i think i nailed it pretty damn good on my 5'th try  
http://www.renegademods.info/users/SpartnII/EliteHeadTest.jpg) 
 i know it still needs work...but i think that head is promising 
 what do u guys think? 
 also i know im not going to be able to model his whole body, seeing as im having such a hard time with his head...so im gunu need help..agent if u still want to respond to my PM  
 PS: and im glad someone is anticipating it 
 if anyone ever played C&C Renegade...i was the one who was making Zero: SP 
 but that damn community doesn't help worth **** so it died... 
 but i still have lots of halo models...........=O) 
 BTW: these are the main pictures im using to model this biatch  
http://www.renegademods.info/users/SpartnII/Elite.jpg) 
http://www.renegademods.info/users/SpartnII/Elite2.jpg)  
 grrrr....why doesn't bungie have quicktime 160 rotation movies of the covenant like they do marines!!!! =O(
  
 
  
  
    Nice job on the head, but i'm thinking the body is gonna be a hell of a lot harder because of the dog-like legs.
  
 
  
  
    the legs arn't a prob for me...they'll fit on the bone sctructure its not hard..but it'll be a lil challenging to make
  
 
  
  
    updated pic
  http://www.renegademods.info/users/SpartnII/EliteTest.jpg)

 Good job
 though and yes the backward knees is sure to be a problem, but im sure you could just modle them out and move back the envelopes in SKIN
  
 
  
  
    agent im there..only if u talked lol
  
 
  
  
    Did you just die in the channel?
  
 
  
  
    Body with the head looks real good! :ltblubou: :redbounc: :grnbounc: :bounc5: :blubounc: :urpboun: :yelbounc: :bounc4:
  
 
  
  
    L00king good.
 
 
 Btw, wouldnt it be real easy to take the Swamp Trooper and make him, ehem Master Chief?
  
 
  
  
    Crosis...yea we could do that...
 
 or..this is a crazy idea..but maybe...just maaaaaaaaaaybe use the master chief model i have =OP
 
 its the same master chief model that Alex Wright put into CS
  
 
  
  
    Im glad you could figure it out, it looks great! hehe this is going to be better than yoda! did you see the site I posted for taunts? and if so which one are you going to use? If you need anymore refrence stuff just give a hollar and ill be ready. Also my covent plasma Sowrd is almost done ill try to post some pictures soon although im going to have trouble getting it in-game dues to animations restrictions.
  
 
  
  
    I think "Your death is the will of the Gods" should be the taunt.
  
 
  
  
    *huff puff*
 
 K
 4 hours of modeling
 head done!
 un opted
 
 body tomorrow
 yes yes
 then armor..feet..all done tomorrow
 oh oh book read must read book for shcool
 yes yes
 but will finish model! night tonight..tired..hands falling off
 
 asleep agentJ goes asleep
 
 totalltoo
  
 
  
  
    Invisible Elites are blue elites...
  and Maroon and Purple ARE the Spec Op elites. The Word and The Will. With the Platinum Armoring.  
 As for the model.. nice... But his jaw(s) is too Charlton Heston/Kirk Douglas... Can you make it more narrow and smaller heigthwise? Remember everything comes to a smooth slope when his jaws are closed... (For the GOLD ELITES, the ones with the swept back three/five point heads, which are the coolest heads IMO, and the one you seem to be modeling) (and yes, I understand you are working under duress and the restraints of the polycount restrictions :cool: ) Your jaw seems taken from the "fin" head Elites.. the three or Five "point" headed Gold Elites have a narrow jaw. 
 The other heads are the "fin" heads (last pic) and the "spear" heads (shown in the pic with the red elite neck shot and the two blues putting the double team smackdown on the flood)

 In any case, I'll be the first to download it..
  
 
  
  
    Does anyone know of a working X-Box emulator? I wanna play halo, but I don't want to to go blow four hundred bucks for a system.
  
 
  
  
    The only emulator out is a Trojan. NOt a good idea to DL..
 
 The PC version is due out in May 'O3
  
 
  
  
    don't talk about emulators plz..keep it with the model =OP
 
 i didn't really get what u wanted me to do to the jaw but o well..im still making the head so ill probly do it without even noticing
  
 
  
  
    3 Tip
 4 Tip
 Round Tip
 
 all of those heads for the elite are done
  
 
  
  
    What I mean was make the BOTTOM of the jaw smaller and narrower. Suck it in.... and as for the front of the face it should be SMOOTH, no gap, on the gold elite (pointy head) You have a gap on top, like the fin heads have.. the pointy heads don't.. It's like it's one piece until they speak. (like the top picture link)
  
 
  
  
    Sorry I'm being anal.. but I am ALL about Halo.. and Bungie in general.. And the Gold Elite is one of my favorite characters of all time.
  
 
  
  
    um........what gap................................
  
 
  
  
    the jutting out part on the forehead.. in the side view you provided.. the part of his forehead that sticks out farther than the rest of his face... It shouldn't. The side view would look like one continuous piece..
  
 
  
  
    Like so:
  http://halo.bungie.org/screenshots/truthandrecon.060702/a50_34.jpg) 
 Notice the top of his head.. more of a slant, and if his jaws were closed it would look like one piece. 
 It's really late.. sorry if this makes no sense..
  
 
  
  
    ok...take my WIP..and edit the pic...cuz i have no clue what ur talking about lol..the mouth IS one piece on the model
  im not trying to make u feel stupid or anything but i have no clue really what ur talking about heh  
 Agent..need some screenies man =OP   
 ([])  
http://www.renegademods.info/users/SpartnII/3HeadElite.jpg) 
 3 elite head pics with body
  
 
  
  
    no no no no no agent!!
 
 those pics are'nt even the same version and there BOTH old versions lol
  
 
  
  
    OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 ....wow....all i gotta say is...
 
 every Halo fan that plays this game is going to have a heart attack.....
 
 Agent just sent me his version of what he has so far...and well....
 
 u guys are in for a REAL big surprise...im still in shock..my gawd its ****ing awesome!!!!!!!
 
 
 AND i bet its not going to break 2000 polies!!!...it will be around 1500 polies i bet
  
 
  
  
    Has he updated it since yesterday? It was looking quite good then but he said he wasn't finished with the head yet.
  
 
  
  
    i don't think so..im pretty sure not
 
 but Matt..he sent me the file and i edited his jaw and eye area...and it looks more like him now
 
 he also has the upper body and lower torso...and it looks ****ing awesome!!!!!!!!!!...get in #JediKnight
 
 
 
 hmm...the jediknight chat seemed to die...it took me out of the chat and when i refreshed the page it got some error..so i pressed go back and cliked chat and the same thing...hmm

    Oh... my... god.... NEED COVENANT ELITE MODEL!!! SO GOOD!!:explode: :bounfire:
  
 
  
  
    ok...
 
 It's like this:
 
 Fin head:
 
 --------\
 *******\
 ***eyes /
 ****** /
 ---------\
 ******* \
 mouth***|
 ********|
 --------- /
 
 Which is what you have.
 
 
 Spike Head: (Gold)
 
 -----------\
 ******** \
 **eyes*** \
 ------------|
 **********|
 **mouth***|
 -----------/
 
 I wasn't saying that the mouth is a solid piece.. It's his eye/browline. There's no forehead protrusion on a Gold Elite. The spike heads also have smaller jaws, not so blocky, like the difference between a T-Rex and a "Raptor".
 
 Why don't you guys release both of them together? I would love to see both.
 
 Agent... umm well... It's not an Elite from the game... but it's damn cool... scrunch the jaw in, and make his face thinner.. and your damn close.
  
 
  
  
    :)
 im doign something liek that not to worry!
