We know they're custom, that's the problem.

ROFL, excuse me, this is the first time trying to make custom bumps for characters

well, a new render comming, with some progress.

I might redo the bumps the day after tomorrow and actually spend some time at them.

Look at the active camo normal, base your custom normal maps on that.

I don't have any camo bumps, and I can't get them anywhere, I'll make some good bumps next time, not with the .5 bursh tool.

Why not just get them from your mainmenu.map?

I had it on my hd, but those things are like... 64x64... No way that is gonna work >_>

The camo bumps are a tad bigger than 64x64.

they're 64x64 for me as well.

Off course, it's YOUR oppinion that counts.

Off course dirt-biking? Anyways, are you even multiplying the colour over the diffuse?

well, I ditched that elite in a reformatation (sp?) and decided to give it another shot.

any better? (btw, I am trying out DOF, and a new HDR image here... )

Way too dark.

That is rediculously dark... And you know it. Also, you have a new high-dynamic-range-image-image?

Lol, just realized that, I'll edit... my bad

I'll have a *slightly* brighter pic up soon.

EDIT:

I said slightly right?

yep.

The lighting on the Elite looks nothing like its surrounding-environment. Kind of makes the purpose of HDR redundant. I don't understand how such a simple task as setting up HDR can be messed up. It's a matter of placing a few lights and changing a few settings. 3d Studio Max does everything else for you. It's very straightforward and well documented.

saddamsdevil · Post by **saddamsdevil** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 10:39 am

I tried with some different settings, I think it looks better.

(other HDR image too

)

Brighten it up homie.

And why is he glowing black?

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 11:02 am

His DoF settings are messed up.

Ok. I have been working for a while on this. My xbox broke, so I made this out of Halo CE stuff... and somethings on my own. This is more about my spartan model... don't yell at me for a sucky environment.

Tell me what needs to be fixed and if I don't know all of the abbreviations don't get too mad.

[edit] ok... the bbcode isn't working so i posted the link.
