Masterchief's Visor
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 6:33 am
ok, i've been working on a halo 2 masterchief model in 3ds max and I am attempting to make him look as real as possible but i just can't get the dang visor to look good.
I was using the bitmap for his visor named mirror_surface.dds
located using ch2r in the objects\bitmaps\reflection_maps folder in mainmenu.map which looks like this:
now don't get me wrong, these do look good, especially when there is something to reflect, but they are actually the reflection from a window on the space station from the cairo level.
I laughed when i figured that out too. Anyway, I found the correct bitmap (masterchief_visor.dds) using ch2r in objects\bitmaps\reflection_maps in the 00a_introduction.map,
which looks like this:
The end result should look like this:
but actually looks like this:
As you can see, the correct bitmap for the visor does not generate the desired "authenticity" of the halo 2 masterchief. Does anybody know how to make the visor look real (authentic)?
