I've been snowboarding for 8 years, and I usually try to go to as many places as I can in one season. It usually goes from mountain creek, JackFrost, CamelBack, Hunter, Killington, and anything in between. Usually renting out a condo near Killington for a week of boarding and parties, so I have a pr...

It looks good, but the textures you used in Zbrush to create the bump map look a bit low quality (it looks like you used/upscaled an extremely low resolution brush on the top and bottom scratches/"scars")...but fundamentally it's pretty nice looking. Nothing is bump-maped, and those big s...

Spike Grenade

Well it has been far too long since my last piece (firebomb and energy sword) , so I will keep this short and sweet for you all. I have recreated the Spike grenade as the title suggest, with a full scene, unbiased render, but still true to the halo "palette" . http://dangerstner.deviantart...

Thanks for the emblem guys. =) And a wraith is inevitable Dr.Cox =) As for a lawsuit, like stated, it is too long ago and that family has enough issues as it is. I wouldn't dare have those kids harmed more by putting their father behind bars or having him pay a fine. Anyway its not proveable, it was...

Thanks Tom, and I did get my finger put back together,haha. It works fine now, just don't have much feeling in the tip of it. Good to hear. :) If I may ask, how did it happen? I was walking to my bus and on the way I had to pass one of my neighbors houses, who apparently drinks and parties a lot. S...

Wow thanks so much everyone, I didn't expect this much positive feedback. I think the next one I will do is the Plasma rifle, then (not in order) the needler, and the assault rifle. Somewhere in between all of that will be the spike and frag grenades in one piece. The scale of things I model will pi...

Energy Sword

Well I plan on posting ever part of my halo project here, so here is part two, the energy sword. This one was given a lot more care than the firebomb, glow effects are 3d and special attention was given to UV maps and textures. The whole thing took a whole day, half of which was rendering it. I hope...

Looks nice. I never thought you can use the texture from your microwave lol. Haha, I always take my own pictures for textures, and I didn't want to use a generic noise map or anything for subtle details. It just kind of worked together I guess. To be honest If i take the layer off there isn't a big...

Firebomb- 3d fanart

http://dangerstner.deviantart.com/art/Firebomb-82846494 I decided to restart a Halo art project I had planned a long time ago, which was unfortunately postponed due to my personal life. I have recreated the firebomb from Halo 3 in a level of detail I hope is somewhat realistic. Feel free to comment...

Thank you for your honesty, I'm starting not to like it as much either, it does not convey the emotions that I had intended, nor was it executed as I had drawn in old concepts. I plan on remaking all of it in much higher quality and more realistic, this is not what I had wanted but in my desperation...

Notice deehunter is not making a CG film, he is only making static images and the 24bit is fine for his purposes.
