comments and crits are always welcome (just dont point out obvious things like the fact the prophet's crown isnt textured)

The prophet's teeth aren't textured.

I'm liking the Elite.

I still find it kind of wierd the everyone starts posting renders with HDRI just after I start working with it.

Just a test:
not here anymore

Don't flatter yourself, I have been rendering HDRI way before you started posting yours.

I meant that everyone started posting renders with obvious HDRI in this topic specifically just after I figured out how to do it.

jw how do you guys have such good quality pictures, and do you make the models by opening them in a program and moving their bones in the position you want?

HK-47 · Post by **HK-47** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 5:06 am

HDRI and 3ds max as well as Bone rigging...

Of course some of us cant rig for shit so we get good people to do it for us (like me) i plan to have someone rig MY mc when i finish him.

Did some stuff to make it look more ingame (Thanks cow)

Thoughts?

if you want an ingame look use the unmodified bitmaps from the game, because if you use custom it is not ingame, now is it. You need the strengthen the relection alot, use the alpha of the masterchief bitmap as a mask. mine from a month ago: http://www.gfx.halosnipers.com/hmm%20.png
which had less then 40 maps excluding colors in it. Don't try to overcomplicate the material if you going for ingame. Try to keep it as simple as you can. Also your color seems a little off, so heres my color pallete that includes the ingame colors excluding tan http://www.gfx.halosnipers.com/Spartan% ... allete.jpg
