Time consuming yet made of awesome.

The Pistol is pretty cool...and I think the Plasma Pistol would be better if you had it all Tron-like. I noticed that underneath the wavy parts, it looks like you did that.

Thanks for clearing that up rossmum. That tron plasma pistol, as stated in my first post, IS NOT MINE

lmao!

Oh and heres some updates:

(and yes Rossmum im going to do a giant skin pack for everything

)

oh and If your sic of people doing bloodgulch, smeh ive allready started an I like the place. Nice and deserty like

I've made the spartan skin alot more beat up lookin, (looks shit i know but im working on it)

and the ghost ive updated a smidge, though everytime i do somethign to the ghost skin it looks like something someone else has done. Im just wanting to keep it simple and rather than have big giant stripes and flashy colours im just going to give it more of a "wartorn" look.

and here are my two versions of a needler, simple yes but me likey so shadap . ( 2nd one possible Brute Needler mb?)

more of just a cool trippy needler for the fans of green
Image removed, uncensored word in pic.

and the sic ass red one. Though I want to change the cubemap it has,because it still has that purple/ green cubemap floating around it, whilst I want a nice red/ black one. btw I don't know how to make cubemaps, the great and mystical Google

You are winn0r.

Watch how many times you edit the one skin though, .dds is the most lossy format I've ever worked with. It took about 4 edits to get the MC as pixellated as the first version of Pong...

As for the cubemaps, you'll see them listed in the bitmaps list, like cubemap banshee, etc. - just edit them in Photoshop as you would for a normal skin.

Lol! Haha pong

I tryed what u said, just opened up the cubemap in photoshop and i dunno if im ment to see the 6 images, cuz all i see is the one. I edit it, but I dont know what to do from there. How do i save it as a cubemap? I have the Nvidia .dds plugin for photoshop but when I say, "save as cubemap" it says i "need 6 square images with equal height and width" or some crap. Any help?

You can't inject completely-made-from-scratch-cubemaps into Halo PC with HMT.

Also, I don't like the skins at all.
They don't have a theme, or make much sense.

Well I spose thats fair enough. Im not too big on themes myself though. I like to see each weapon with its own different look, so thats what i was doing. I may end up making them into a theme at some stage, but at the moment im just learning how to do this stuff. I can understand if the skins need work and stuff, which they obviously do, but im sure they aren't completely bad as to not liking them at all. IS this by any chance because you dont like my music?

No hard feelings bud, I guess ill try make a theme one day though as i said, im just easing my way into this

Ok another lil update. Ive decided to make a theme as well , just to make people happy. Im just going to release the non themed ones separately.

Ive decided to continue with my covenant them of green purple and black, and im making the human stuff red, black and silver.

OK heres the banshee I wipped up, its not taht astonishing, though im not trying to make these skins far out with stupid stripes and big flashy colours. Im just trying to improve on the originals, keeping them simple and not making them an eyesore. Also I changed the AR to fit the theme (though it doesnt look very original now >_> *cough*looks like CMT's now*cough*)

also changed the banshee reticle, most likely not going to include that, I just put it in for me

the banshee from the back and you can also see I changed the shotty to the theme(yet again, doesnt look very original now that ive changed it >_>)

and I've finished with the ghost, I'm very happy with how it's turned out:

though pictures dont do any of these skins justice, ill have to make a short vid

Keep the Banshee/Ghost style and apply it to all vehicles.

Very good.

Ok a lil update on the hogs:

I wanted a halo 2 hog skin for reference on making hog skins, but I couldnt find one, so I decided I'd try my hand at making my own H2 warthog skin

The Rocket hog is pretty much the same skin with some changed colour to give it that different look. I was getting tired of looking at that bumblebee rocket hog so i made it red

otay pics for yas:
