nope, actually i got lucky and when the guy died he stayed on his knees like that. Then i just punched him. And im also guessing the body looses shadow when in ragdoll.

This is a very early beta version of my skin. Nothing in this picture is by any means final, and nearly everything you see will most likely be dramatically changes. I have also skinned very few textures, so don't get on me because the cliff is unchanged, etc. I merely post this with the hopes that by publicly showing these EARLY stages I'll have the motivation to finish.

What you CAN gather from these pictures: I am entering the contest and I am making a snow mod. Specifics are unknown even by me.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Ice=Pwnage. That's so awsome, but I don't really like the building texture or the cliff one for that matter either

Cliff Texture= 100% unchanged

Building Texture= merely a proof of concept. I was testing new concepts with shaders, and did it just to prove my theory. Oh, it worked. It opens a lot of doors for me. I'll try to use the technique in the final (and it will NOT look like the current building texture). The color and texture have NOTHING to do with what I want the building to look like.

nice TCMC. looks like this skinning contest is gunna kick ass

Nah, the purple is a test I did as another proof of concept. I picked purple because it contrasts so much with the white.

There's a lot more purple on the map than what you see here. It'll not be in the final by any means.

Oh, the snow bump will be changed too.

Lovin' it Chad.

By any chance can you make that 'ice' slippery?

Are there any surfaces in Halo 2 that have different traction than the rest? If there are, he might have a chance, but otherwise I can't see how it could be done. Unless there's a value for it and Bungie just chose not to do it. Even so, it'd have to bee a totally new surface and not part of the BSP I assume.

I keep thinking of Sidewinder... good times.

Anyways, it's not my mod or anything, but I figured I'd contribute that I think some of the Coag trees reskinned or possibly the dead trees from like... I think Backwash...

I have an idea on how to make it slippery but I kinda doubt it would work, and it still wouldnt be all too realistic. If you want to hear it, PM or IM me.

My friend, my rival

It looks good Chad, has much more promise than when it had no textures changed

(obviously)

I'm not sure if I'm repeating myself here or not but I should probably be releasing my skin today or tomorrow depending on whether or not I can get on the computer with the serenity file (14mb o_O [I may have to start that again

])

if im right in saying that ice is a mach (most likely the containment gate) i think theres string ids in the phmo that would need to be changed to make it slippery

SUDDENLY, ELITES, HUNDREDS OF THEM! 2 controlers+Team changing with Yelo's invincibility FTW again! Unfortunitly I forgot to make the Gold dude have Tan secondary to look like a Zealot.

Sooo.... is anyone interested A photography group? I group that can take pictures together that require more than one person? Something like Battle Scenes and stuff. However Im looking to have most stuff more story like. Meaning all the Spartans would be the same color as Master Chief and ranks that dont actually exist yet in the Halo story. (i.e. no pink elites plz). What Im shooting for is something along the lines of what I did here alone but that was alot of trouble because playing split screen is a pain for me and the vehicles liked to move a little by themself:
