the only reason you would need the dds plugin is if you're like me and you have to use ch2r to extract textures because for me entity extracts low quality textures, with exception to the bump maps.

Ch2r for bitmaps, ADI for models, Entity for bumps ftw.

Somebody needs to combine the abilities of each of those programs into one massive super-awesome tool.

if somebody could make a program extract models the way darkmatter does, but with the uv's the way adi does. thatd be enough sweet. labeled models are so much better than guessing which model is the one you want to import.

Still working on it, obviously. Has anyone ever done the shields in Max? I was thinking about adding a failing shield around the victim spartan, and possibly have some blood trickling down his codpiece/leg.

No lighting and no environment just yet. I'll ad those later.

good job so far it looks nice, and good pose

That's a great concept Ajem.

Armor looks good, visor doesn't.

Trulife8342 · Post by **Trulife8342** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 8:36 am

Well I could make the visor look awesome because I have the material for it, Its just that the enviroment he is in wouldnt match the cube maps, so I might just give the visor a orange fall off map for diffuse, and just set the reflection to ray trace to reflect its enviorment.

AjemsuhgaoII · Post by **AjemsuhgaoII** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 8:46 am

I'm assuming that is indoors. So unless there's another unknown light source, I think you should change the lighting a bit. Maybe do a full room, rather than two planes...

And that pose looks very awkward.

Sarb · Post by **Sarb** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 10:02 am

Yes, have a full room, the visor will look better.

actually it looks like he's sitting in between 2 lights

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 10:02 am

yeah but those lights need more than just a detail map for a texture.

I know the coloring is off on his armor... but I'm just sort of starting to figure that stuff out right now... and why I'm posting this in the help thread

Heeelp? haha
