thought so... well, it's good for your first. you should work on your materials more though.

I like that Elite's skin, but the armor...looks like your normal map is inverted or something...maybe too strong?

Yeah, I just slapped on those bumps to get the model up and running. I was working like a madman trying to finish this render because I was making it for a prise for a HALO system link tournament my friends and I were having. I managed to print it about 10 minutes before I had to leave

I'll tweak the material a little, just to see what looks right.
(Image is big):
VictoryPile

I also made a handy dummy object with custom attributes for the color changing of the Elite and spartan. Now I can just select the dummy object and change the primary and secondary (and visor for the spartan) colors instead of having to navigate the shader back and forth and it's a real life (and time

) saver for scenes with multiple characters. Anyone want me to post how to do it in the tutorials section?

=sw=warlord, that's real nice! Try adding some glow to the engines and tweaking the engines and it should make a good wallpaper

That's one of the coolest concepts I've ever see Tanasoo, awesome work.

Wow nice render Veegie! Just it seems like the armor should be a little brighter with all the lights above him.

Hmm, that BR flashlight model looks familiar

There also should be global illumination, so the shadows are softer and more dense right below him, then fade out as they get farther away.

Are you left handed? And how can he use a bump mapped battle rifle from the future without his head exploding

lol jk Nice render! Maybe try adding little benches that span the beams chief is standing in I see that allot at indoor shooting ranges it's a good place to put all your stuff. You could maybe put a few boxes of ammo or one or two magnums on it. Over all I like the scene but I agree about the shadows and lighting. Good job!

that would be a lot of composite work to add benches and all that to a real-life photograph

nice work Veegie

I just wanted to shut masters up, not spend any time on it. ;X
This is one of my favourite composites to date though;
