Snave, something about that visor doesn't seem right...

No specular it looks like...that, and the cubemaps are out of order...I think.

I could be wrong.

This has already been done, I'm not denying it

I worked a long time at editing my current texture to allow it to change without screwing up (colored rubber, not just armor) and felt like posting my results. I *think* I changed some of the material too.

Please ignore the visors.

uhh yea, the texture dosent look good at all. It dosent reflect, so it really dosent have the apperance of armor. The rubber is well, look at it. It looks like all you did was make a mix map and set the rubber color as a tiled detail map. The only thing i like is the bump map >_>

What can I say Xero.

Whoever said I was going for that look... I'm not. There really isn't a huge point of doing the same thing as everyone else.

Which isn't even mine

Wrong. Though I admit the rubber needs work.

Sooo, now I have a Xbox 360. And because the normal diskusting Halo 360 background, I did a Halo Background myself.

Here is it:

Dont be wondering about the very big Space around the Chif. Thats because the 360 Dashboard need much Space like e. g. the them papers/pages.

I got the inspiration from this little friend on my subwofer...

I didn't really work very hard on it, guess I should have.

Here is it:

i think having your name so large... ok i KNOW having your name so large on that really kills the picture. i'm sorry, but puting DINO CRISIS all over the render looks absolutely rediculous. it should be something legible, and not taking over the picture... try to think about that next time and you'll turn out with something much nicer.

Pose: nice, but needs a drop shadown do really ground the chief.
background: good choice of a neutral grey.
name: never... ever... do that.

1) bold border around name, which is the blackest black of the whole page... draws your eyes there and makes it look more solid than any other part of your render
2) richer red than chief's armor... draws your eyes to the horrible halo font
3) size... there is never any reason to put your name so large on the render. is your name the subject or is chief?

these negatives really kill your render and make it very uninteresting.
you can count on my crit to be right on. one of my studies was graphic design. the way you direct eye movement on the page absolutely kills the composition. your choices for the text were poorly made.

i do like your rendering style, but... your end result was just very poorly done.

Did you understand that he made this render for himself!!

He said "I did a Halo Background myself"

I think its good but too much blur that's all

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:02 pm

Dino, if you're going to put your name like that, I suggest you try to mimic the coloring in the Halo 2 logo. There are some images online you can get that are tilable and are good for that.

The text is okay if you're using it for the xbox background, but no offense, but you did a poor job at it. It doens't really look at all like the actual Halo text, as I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:16 pm

Does it have to? Is there a requirement that when you use the Halo font you must attempt to mimic the official Halo font style?

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:46 pm

No, but it'll look like crap if you don't. I'm sure a few other styles would work though.
