Evolutions update

3-4 months and no post, I've been really busy working on 4 projects outside of work. I didn't want to post up snippets of projects as opposed to workflows. Outside of work I only have about 5-10 hours a week to get stuff done and among the 4 projects and various other things that time soon disappears quickly.

Evolutions:
So I've learn't the command and conquer 3's build of Worldbuilder editor and been working towards getting a nice looking map setup for the public beta release of Evolutions.

 I started off by blocking out the rough layout for the map and building a series of human Meshes to go with the scenario idea; Defending a UNSC power station from covenant built in an arctic environment. I created 7 environment assets based on Halo 4's Multiplayer map set in the same setting.

Then i began adding detail with the Snow Environment props I created previously.

I then decided to go back to drawing board and figure out what I could create to make the map a more convincing artic/snow environment. I looked over some of my favourite Ice envrionments in games and from Icewind Dale's art especially.

I created a piece of concept art to figure out what I could do, drawing and photomashing over a screenshot of the level.

Once I was happy with my concept I moved onto creating the new art needed

I've added the meshes into the current build of the level.

I've also been making progress with graphics and designs for some of the default Heretic faction units designs.

Halo Evolutions - Heretic Wraith

I've been designing and painting a concept for Halo Evolutions. The concept is a Heretic version of the Covenant Wraith tank. I based my design off of the heretic alterations to the Banshee in Halo 2 and 3, the only custom heretic vehicles in the series.

Heretic

So I've been painting a sketch I started yesterday today of a character idea for Halo Evolutions based on the halo 2 and 3 Heretics. I was imagining the first Heretic, what the first Sangheli to defy the prophets might have been like.

The armour is inspired by the Arbiters metal armour and the Halo 3 heretic armour, which can been seen below.

Halo Evolutions - Forerunner structure 2 and scenery

This morning I've started the day by modelling a second forerunner building based on the building from the Halo 3 map Valhalla. I've also modelled a forerunner wall and some trees.

Below is the Halo 3 screenshots I used for reference to base the building on

Halo Evolutions - Turrets

Today I've been modelling two turrets for the covenant factions of Halo Evolutions. The first turret is an Anti-Infantry ground turret and classic one from the original halo game.

The second turret is an anti-air gun based on the new turrets introduced in Halo 2 and 3.

I also created some more environment assets the other day for the snow/ice environment assets

Halo Evolutions - Shadow and Scenery

I've created the Covenant Shadow vehicle, also know as the Covenant bus. The vehicles is used as an APC to transport vehicles or troops around during the invasion of the cities of earth in Halo 2. 

I've also modelled and textured some assets for a snow environment, as I'd like to create a multiplayer map inspired by the classic Halo 1 map sidewinder and the halo 3 remake avalanche.
