Halo 3D Model(anyone have one)

Does anyone have halo 3D Models?
I want "Master Chief" a "Grunt" And one of those "Elite Guys"
Oh and an "Assalt Rifle (with a bullet somwhere inside or somthing)"

I don't know of any, personally. Try searching on google to see if anyone has something free that's compatible with alice. If not, you could always try modifying the ranger model to look more like halo, or try making your own with simple shapes (using Alice) or with a 3d renderer (there are a few free online, but I don't know if they're compatible with Alice or not)

I actually found a few online, for free, but they are in a format that Alice doesn't accept. I'm trying to learn how to convert them now.

Hey, I think that I have a gun saved on my laptop that is already in an alice world. It isnt a Halo assault rifle, but it is a really well made rifle. Ill look for it and reply with an edit.

Yep I found I found it. The rifle has a strange axis I think, so you have to use that cone to orient it. Instead of vehicle the gun to you, vehicle the cone to you and the gun will follow.

I did a quick search but came up with way too much data to sort through when I really don't know much about HALO. I do know it's the basis for the Red vs. Blue videos - some of the best machinima around.

If you have a specific model, I'd be glad to give it a try. Some of the ones I found were in .3ds format with textures - fairly straightforward to convert - but others were in formats that would probably require Milk Shape (or Blender?) to convert.

One of the many hazzards of making your own models. Make very sure you have the objec's center and orientation where you want them before you export it from the modeling program - something I way too often forget.

It also helps to get the scale correct for Alice before exporting, although this is much easier to fix in Alice.

here's the one I found. I have to put it on wikisend since Alice won't upload that stuff.

Here it is with conversions (for strange formats, you have to put the model in a zipped file to upload to Alice). The conversion was very straightforward using Biturn - the only real issue was that the "forward" direction actually has the character facing backwards.

The real problem is that only the mesh converted and this was apparently a boned model - so the movements you are going to be able to do using Alice are very limited. This is a pretty common problem with stuff from the web. You can "cut it apart" in Anim8or or another program - but this gets fairly tedious by the time you work through getting all the joints correct - I'd plan your animation before starting and just make the minimum number of separations. Also, I couldn't find a texture associated with the model so just colored the various parts in Alice.

You did very well, thank you so much for your help.

So are there any online tutorials for these various programs you've mentioned: Anim8or, Milkshape, Blender and Bitrun?

right now, im trying to put together about 100 different models from halo, from various sources. so far, 2 have survived the conversion, neither of which are what you are looking for. however, the moment one makes it that meets yous specifications, ill post it for you.
