The visor cubemap is kinda funky.

It's not a cube map, it's just regular reflection using Mental Ray... and then I've got a 'cloudy' enviornment going on inside of it... I didn't even think to re-do the visor with a cube map, since I was mostly concentrating on trying to get the armor right

when you say you're trying to get the armor right, what do you mean?

lol, I'm not even really sure, just trying to make it look 'better'... or as good as I can get it to look with what I've got. It's a lot of trial and error for me haha, but it's more fun that way I think.

Niice, I like, the marine's eyes are creepy haha, I hate doing the eyes, they always end up looking really weird

Any tips on the material?

Wtf?

Darco, I like how the ODST's boot actually looks smooth as opposed to bungie's box look.

He's holding it up alright, but his finger isn't near the trigger.

Nice, proper bump maps really do make renders shine.

what bumps should i use for my MC, normal or camo?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 2:35 pm

The camo one is the normal map, use that.

OK ty, I also need some help with detail maps, i have the dirty-metal detail map but i dont know what to do exactly

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 3:48 pm

use it in one of the slots of an rgbmultiply and tile it at 9x9.

Pyroman · Post by **Pyroman** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 4:30 pm

Here's what I got.

Thanks to Jean for the bump.

WIP

I am actually rendering with Blender(a free software), i have a big problme, when i use bumpmaps on a model and enable the reflection, the reflection is missed up, so i asked on a blender forum for that, i am waiting for a solution, but i think it's a problem with the software and not my settings on the materials.
