Just thought I'd better post these. Very early in development, this is my custom vehicle, the Rhino. Note: pictures are screenshots of a wireframe model, nowhere near complete, done in AutoCAD 2000. If anyone wants to help me, post in this thread.
Front View.
Side View.
Top View.
My name's on them all, so NO TAKEY.
White lines = internal, dark grey = external, light grey = window.
A rough size comparison: it's as long and wide as a Scorpion, but about 50% taller.

Various stats:
Weight: slightly more than Scorpion
Seats: driver, 2x gunner (turrets not shown yet), 1x rear passenger (faces out of rear hatch)
Weapons:
1x forward machine gun, driver operated, 45 degree aiming cone. Low damage, short range, slow fire, good accuracy.
2x upper turrets taken off Warthogs, 180 degree firing, 90 degree overlap to front, 90 degree blindspot to rear, decreased fire rate, increased accuracy, decreased damage.
Back story (making this up now): The UNSC used captured Covenant Ghosts to develop hover technology, but it is still inefficient, thus a large powerplant was required to produce enough energy to maintain an antigrav field. Seeing an opportunity, they decided to create a 'Tactical Transport Vehicle', codenamed Rhino.

If I get it finished before H2V comes out, it'll be released for CE. If not, you'll see it 12-18 months later, when I get H2V.

It looks like a finger. I sure would like to see the finished product.

Yes, it does look a bit like a finger. A big, fat, gun-toting finger that'll smash its front bumper into your face at about 35Km/h. Modeling the damn thing is gonna be the hard part, I haven't found a single program that is compatible with AutoCAD files. Looks like I'll just have to start over in gmax. Oh well. Anyone got a link to gmax? FREE gmax?
-EDIT- I would also like a link to a COMPLETE listing of all vehicles that Bungie have ever made. Don't wanna annoy them by making something like they've already made.

I dunno about the list of models, however you can get Gmax here. After you download it you will need to complete a free registration with Turbosquid, then they will send you a product key.

Aww, I was expecting the Rhino tank from RA2! J/k, it looks shweet.

...It looks like a Protoss Reaver. Even then it resembles nothing in chasis design as far as UNSC style goes. The whole part about the UNSC taking Covie vehicle technology also seems pretty bogus as well. Sorry, even though this is pre-alpha, I just don't see it working with that type of design.

According to HEK, human vehicles need 35-40 degree angles to look human.

I like the idea.

And I do not think it looks too covieish. In fact, it looks alot like a pelican.

...It looks like a Protoss Reaver.

I knew it looked familiar! Ah, I miss that good ol' days when those pwning grub-like machines of doom crawled inch by inch across the plains of hot lava as I dealt out divine wrath upon the weak Zergs.

That is, if my opponent didn't do an early strike on- OMG ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKEKKEEE

Cool. I'd like to see the finished product. It would be sweet to have it on Halo just to try it out

The whole part about the UNSC taking Covie vehicle technology also seems pretty bogus as well.

Actually, the UNSC has borrowed heavily from Covenant technology. The Master Chief's shield system is an improved version of the Jackal's handheld energy shield. The UNSC also has refiitted several military space vessels with artificial gravity plating, reverse-engineered from Covenant artificial gravity technology. (Taken from the Halo novel, Fall of Reach. Although no recent breakthroughs have been made, UNSC scientists are currently hard at work reverse-engineering Covenant plasma weapon technology.

I like how it's looking so far. It reminds me of this big 'ol brown Star Wars tank.

Will there be internal seating for 1-2 passangers as well? It is an APC, after all.

I don't consider the books canon. Also, the design itself looks Covenant. He was talking about using the general concept behind a Covenant vehicle, which is they float and glide.

It'll look a lot more human with a chaingun poking out either side, and Idon't intend to use a single curved surface, all flat. Makes modeling easier.
New images, I'll link when imageshack stops lagging.

K, I'll try PB. Imageshack hates me.
-EDIT- Man, PB is confusing. Anyway, LINKZORZ!

And something I found while looking for material for another project, art related. 1 meg .bmp, zoom in on the armour. Big Picture. Was that video rendered in-game?

Believe me, in the long run, Photobucket is much better. I've had this account for two years and it's served me well. Imageshack is pop up infested.

Oh, and yes, from Bungie themselves, they said the trailer was rendered in-game.
