Thanks. I'd appreciate more comments.

Here it is:



Enjoy!

Mirrors are smooth. That's why they reflect..

Well, i'm sorry that we were restrained to using the bitmaps that came with halo... -_- If that wasn't directed to me, then i'm sorry.

He's all green that's just the bump map and the reflection.

That was some custom bump maps, I added and I took the smoothing off of the render output, so it turned out like that. But thanks anyways.

My first good render? Iunno. You judge.

I meant to say...

When the image renders in 3ds Max, the render looks fine, but when I save it and open it up, its darker than it's supposed to be.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

And yeah, you're right.. I apologise for the stupid question.

When I save a render, it appears nice and evenly lit in the render, but when I say.. upload it or open it in photoshop, it appears a tad darker than its supposed to be. Any clue on what's wrong?

Who says I don't know how he looks like, I have The Fall Of Reach. -_-

The index of refraction for glass is 1.5.
Can someone tell me how to add detail maps? As in my post.

Oh right. I just looked at fall of reach, a good skin will be created in a minute, if I can find some stock photography.

Yeah, I guess.

Wait.. does MC with Freckles really make sense?

If freckles usually go away with age, and freckles form with exposure to the sun, then how does MC have freckles if there is no exposure to light?

Wrong. He has red hair, is super pale from having a lack of light exposure, and has freckles. Veegie, did you not read my 2nd post on this topic. I said that it's just a marine head, that i'll do the new skin soon and by the way.. if you didn't know. Freckles go away when you're older. But yes, he'...

I want to add the detail to the armor, and have a seperate one to the material inbetween the joints, etc. Does that require two materials? And if so, how do you add the detail maps?

No, he's not. It's all scaled to the right size, remember that he's wearing armor and is fairly larger than a marine.

Edit: That's not how I pictured him either, and that's just a marine head replacing it... Ill make a nice skin to go along.

An idea ran through my head. A helmetless MC!

I'm noticing those detail maps in some renders, are those bump maps or... are they something seperate?

Any advice for this?
I always liked your constructive critisism, i'm looking forward to making something worth.. showcasing.
