[b]This technique has been used in "Gargoyle"[/b]
This is a tutorial on how to make weapons float in the air for screenshot purposes. Floating weapons for screenshots is one of the best techniques and brings many new possibilities to forge art. Until today I have kept this a secret but I will happily reveal it to you here and now.
[quote][b][u]Step 1:[/b][/u] Make a platform for the weapons to be placed on, bridges work best. Make sure the bridges themselves are floating in the air. To do so hold the object in the air in the position you wish it to be then press start, save game then end game. Once you start up the game the object should be floating. [b]NOTE[/b] that this does not work with weapons as they will fall once the game starts.
[b][u]Step 2:[/u][/b] Once you are done setting the platform in which you plan to place weapons on, place any weapons you wish in any form or design.
[b][u]Step 3:[/b][/u] Once you are done drawing your design on the floating bridge/s save the game. [b]DO NOT[/b] delete the base yet. Save the game first. Once the game is saved you can go back and delete the bridges and the weapons are floating! If you start new round or touch/shoot the weapons they will fall. Stay away from the weapons. Even after you delete the platform do not save game. You may go back and take as many screenshots as you wish, but each time you will have to delete the bridges in the beginning of the game. That is how it works. Meaning this technique can only be done in Forge.[/quote]
[i]If you wish to make the weapons appear to be floating vertical follow these steps.[/i]
[quote]
[b][u]Step 1:[/u][/b] Place the object in which you wish to use as the platform at a 45° angle. Make sure it is no more than that or the weapons will slide.
[b][u]Step 2:[/u][/b] Place the weapons on the platform in any design you feel like.
[b][u]Step 3:[/b][/u] Save the game, then delete the platform and your weapons are floating at a slight angle. To make the illusion that the weapons are vertical take the screenshot from a 50-60° angle. Make the spartan or elite stand close to the camera. This gives the illusion that the spartan/elite is in correct proportion to your weapon drawing.

There is a way easier way. You just erase boxes under the bridge and weapons, then save it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PhsYcoon So many people have copied you Predator, with the wings. You deserve all the credit though.[/quote]I do not consider it copying. I consider it as motivation, no one "copied" me, people just wanted to use this technique to create their own wings. They worked hard on their forge art and they deserve their own credit. Thanks though
-
So thats how you did all those kik ass screenshots. I just gotta say I REALLY like you Alien one. Thx for finally sharing the tricks to the community!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Predator5791 I love the fact that you guys are using my technique and that you are very enthusiastic about showing other people your work but please post your screenshots in the [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/default.aspx?mode=halo3]File Forums[/url]. This is the Halo 3 Forum and this is a tutorial thread only. Showing your screenshots here could end up in a blacklist for you or a lock for this thread.[/quote] I should really read b4 posting, sorry :(

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Predator5791 [i]Please be creative, make something other than wings.[/i][/quote] I did, and after i created it and uploaded it i found you beat me to it by i think 8 months. If you would take your own time to compare your to mine i would appreciate it alot. Yours is far more acurate than mine, but after viewing your shots i tried making my own from what i believed was the way to do it. I used crates and weapon holders, which were quite hard to control but eventually i got it. I'll PM you the PIcs. I hope you havn't already seen it but if you have please PM me, i'd like to know your honest opinion, and i mean honest. I run out of ideas because i get beaten to them so quickly. This is the only unique and original one i believe thats out there (for gods sakes i hope its right too lol) Check it out if you like - this will be in with the PM i'll send you. If you have taken your time to look at these, thankyou very much and i hope you continue to create master-halo-pieces :) (even if you have retired, i sense you'll return) [Edited on 11.04.2008 11:48 AM PST]
