Saw it as a bumper sticker on someone's car.
Found it on Google when I got home.
Did some pointless Photoshop work.

You just made it a little bit darker.

Lighting still weird, blue sky, etc. As Veegie said, there isn't much difference.

Also, what's with the weird piece of geometry floating by the left wall?

as far as i know, its the window frame. i exported it from entity and thats how it came out. i tried to make it almost like the only light scource from this side of the room is coming from outside, but i guess i didnt quite get that affect.

Yes the scene is a lot darker now, if i recall correctly that map (what's it's name?) has light fixtures, you should brighten up the scene a bit, place the fixtures to give the scene a bit more of "feel", if you want to leave the environment blue then leave it but invert the bump maps because right now they outline the wall as if the plates where inwards rather than outwards.

So here's something I've working on its some sort of forerunner installation (sorry for the quality quick vray settings) i haven't defined yet it's purpose, I'm planing on putting it in the face of a cliff over an overgrown jungle, so what do you all think, comments and crits welcome.

Can you chuck a warthog or Spartan in there, to show us how big it's suppose to be... right now it looks to be the size of those things the sentinels spawn from in the H2 campaign.

Impressive, it does look very Forerunner-y.

HI, i just rigged my MC so I am thinking of posing it with a weapon. which weapon would be the most easiest to model and texture?

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 12:40 pm

You're going to model the weapon yourself? No offense, but that's not just something you pick up in a day.

squid267 · Post by **squid267** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 4:07 pm

Oh CRUD I meant gettin the files from the maps and texturing it with bitmaps.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 6:57 pm

Weapon shaders don't really have a degree of difficulty, it's basically the same proccess as any other shader (excluding animated and illuminated).

Another question, I thought I had my biped rigged but I got one side down the the skin modifier the left but the mirror mode thing isn't working like the blue and green verts dont show.
