i am wanting to model the masterchief from halo 2 for this 3D project im working on... my problem is i have no good reference shots to work from. the only ones i can find are ones at angles or key parts covered
can someone please link me to some good reference shots which can be modelled from... if youve modded halo 2 and you can load up the chief could you post pictures of that just so i can model my own
cheers

Is there a reason why you're modeling one as opposed to using the game's model?

Ok, here you go but you really should get your xbox modded that way you can enjoy this site fully.

I agree. mod your XBOX so you can really be a part of this site. You got the Halo part down but not the mod

yeh i wanted to mod it, but i really cant find the games needed to softmod as hardmodding is far too expensive for what it is (IMO) im also short of cash
for that download... thanks, im just checking it out now
EDIT
that download is a real help, so thanks

So far good its a good front image. I would added some scratches to the armor unless your intending for it to be new. PM I will be happy to assist you in the games and the rest of the process.

its gonna be fairly new looking, i might bumpmap some dents and things. this is gonna be for a short (5mins or so i hope) 3D animation of a fight between 2 cheifs. i dont have any spectacular software for it (anim8or, as blender does not work and i cant find anything free that is quite as good as anim8or for functionality) so it might not look brill but the concept is still there

You can do a nearly idiot-proof hardmod for $80 (no soldering, online instructions with highly detailed images, etc) with an XecuterX3CE. It's defiantely worth it, and you can do a lot more than with a softmod. Summer's coming up, yards are becoming untidy, so mow some of them. It won't take long in a good sized neighborhood to gather the cash.
When you get this video done, I'd LOVE to see it... I've yet to see two Spartans fighting one another... what's the reasoning for it?

the reasoning? umm, *thinks* i dunno really. my friend wanted me to make him a map for Halo PC, and then i thought... hey, imagine if suddenly the masterchief rappeled down the side of the building and started to kick ass. i guess it started there. ive got all the ideas but i know that it will be hard as anything (especially on my computer)
i think ive seen a cheap solder-free mod chip for about

Well They shouldn't care about it. Its your xbox, not theirs or the family's is it? Who says you have to use the games model, it is up to you. Also if your xbox was modded you could make a mod from your ideas. Well like XBC-Requiem we would love to see it, so post when your done in the correct forum.
