My first skin, criticism is warmly welcomed and expected

It's not bad. I've never been a fan of camo skins, but that's just my opinion. I'd give this a 7.5/10, good work. Keep it up.

Wait, Why is the skin different different between the two pictures. Does it change based on the light on it? As in you skinned the multipurpose?

If thats what you did that's pretty cool, I'd change it to an 8.5/10.

What hes saying is to make it from scratch, making you're own camo on the gun.

He suggests this because he personally feels that if you don't put tons of effort into making something it's not even worth looking at. I on the other hand think a bit more logically and feel that it's the final product that matters and not what it took to get there.

Thanks for the compliment, I love the paw also
and the camo i got was from the internet, and I think it looks much better than anything i'd throw together.

The bear claw for one isn't very good. It's edges are really rough.
As for the camo, it looks bad how on the top it's just pasted on, then on the bottom there's the AR texture. It makes it seem flat and dull.

The edges are aliased because of his graphics. If they were better they would be less choppy.

You did a decent job on the skin. Keep working hard and experiment in order to get used to the controls on photoshop or whatever you're using.

play halo in windowed mode and that solves your problems, and unless you have a PPC mac mini you can play halo at full graphics.

Changing to windowed mode does not make your graphics instantly better. If anything, changing that and then the resolution would make it faster, but you won't suddenly be able to get shaders or something.

no, but you can make the game run faster on higher settings, I cannot run mine maxed out in fullscreen, but if I make it windowed I can.
