Those vehicles look great IMO... good job

I really like it, like others said the materials need some work, but it's definatly a good start, the pose is really good as well, nice job so far

Jean's models make me want to quit life... stop being so good at materials, you're hurting my insides

New WIP, based off Bungie's snow hog concept. Took about 2-3 hrs to fully model/uvw/texture. I know i don't have AA, this render was just for test purposes. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7922/sofaronsnowhog1hq3.jpg Heeelll yes!! Very nice so far man, awesome, I've been meaning to model up some...

=o http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1673/fadewire1nx6.png Why are there still individual planes made out of four triangles? It hasn't been cleaned since the symmetry modification? There aren't... that's just the way Ben did the 'wireframe' for it... but they're not triangles, they never were. htt...

well, theres more to grpahics design than that. The better ones don't use brushes, and theres more advanced effects other than overlays and H/S changes. Thats what Afterparty and I call "GFX" Stuff that is found on mainstream sites. The underground sites is where it's at. Yeah, I'll agree...

text is bad on the second. try avoiding the use of the Halo font. and the one with the MC arms spazzing is pretty lame. I know, I don't condone the use of Halo font... but it felt apropriate in the first one... seeing as how the first line of text is 'Halo 3' ;) And I don't like generic sigs... the...

I'd try and stay away from the Halo text... it's horrendous for regular words... Also, actually edit the outter glow and drop shaddows to make them look not-default... and good, and the blending needs a lot of work. The render is also pretty basic, in the render topic you said you only rigged up his...

My 2 favorite sigs lol... http://ephrum.nicholstech.net/Retarded.gif Made in like... 2005 haha... before anything about Halo 3 was known (before they announced it) http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/Ephrum/Halo-3-animation.gif Obviously they're not 'run of the mill'... sigs bore the crap out of m...

Stroke kills fonts if you don't know how to use it right...

Yeah, lol, speaking of which... Trep how's your skin comin' along I wanna see progress dammit!

Yeah, I know haha, that's just how I am tho, once I start something I usually don't stop working on it 'til it's at least close to finished (or until I get bored with it)... there are a few other people working on skinning it right now, my skin was basically for reference to get them started with so...

woah H3 biped? oh wait isnt that the biped in the mod for Halo 2? no lol, it's just the H2 biped with Jean-Luc's 'H3' normal map... and then I modeled the hand plates and slapped them over the H2 ones and then threw skin modifiers on them and added the hand bones so that they'd act as part of the m...

Wow, that changed quickly. Yeah lol, it still needs a lot of work, I think Trep's playing around with making Specular and bump maps, and I think Darco was planning on doing the same... the materials need a looooooot of work still, I'm mentally challenged when it comes to creating my own materials (...

Jean Luc's sweet-sexy Bump

the rubber A... shouldn't have the same texture as the armor , and B... should be more of it's own color... ;) umm... no. it all uses the same texture, its just you use a cc map to give the armor areas color. other than that its using the exact same texture and detailmap. I don't like that haha, I ...

and no

Yarrr... lol, justttt posting progress I suppose

No bump maps? And don't add noise to the armor, it looks bad... aaand... work on your diffuse/color change maps... the rubber A... shouldn't have the same texture as the armor, and B... should be more of it's own color...

Ephrum, try to make your own textures rather than placing pre-existing Halo textures on top of areas of your UV map. It helps add variety. I thought they looked familiar. :? It's the metal_dirty and the Vertical Noise detail maps... the rest are mine :wink: No, more than that isn't yours. What else...
