The shadows are a little weird on the marine's head.

Alright, I got banned from H3F so I decided to get back to learning 3ds max.

Here is what I got just barely remembering a tutorial I read a few months back.

I know it is horrible, I just need for a few people to tell me exactly what I need to do to fix it.

Thankyou

Everything.

Detail.
Color change.
Specular.
Bump.
Reflection.
Self illumination/scene lighting.

Yeah, basically everything. You need an entire material, not just a diffuse map.

Ye..
I figured I created pretty much the roughest render possible.

Could you link me to a tutorial that might help me out?

Yeah, that was one of the problems I was having.

Hey guys how do you change the position of ur pivot point back to its orginal point? I attached an object and later detached it but now the movement axis and rotation axis are way off to one side...

Create a box that barely fits around the object and then attach your object to that box. Delete the box.

Alright, I followed the tutorial alittle and got confused in a few parts. But this is what I am getting.

There is something messed up with the diffuse color.

Never mind.
I fixed it:

Looks 100x better than the first. Visor could use some work, but the base armor material is a good start.

WOW, that is way better than my first. Visor needs work though

Good Job Reyer, I would suggest putting the visor on a seperate material to keep it from being green. Anyways what do you guys think about this? It's a wip but I need ideas on improvement of the scene. And I know about the floor I'm working on it currently.

Any Idea for improvement are welcome

I like it. I do have a question though. What is up with the chiefs crotch?

Tain7ed · Post by **Tain7ed** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:03 pm

wow never noticed that i think its just at an odd angle and rotated to the side a bit

Looks like.

some of the poses look a little odd, namely the elite and the Mastercheif.

Im going to start taking a modelling/texturing class in school soon, so I figured I would start familiarizing myself with 3dsmax materials and such. So here is my render of the Halo 2 monitor. I just got a tablet PC so I may do another with higher res textures.

Something is messed up with one of the hands. But it still looks pretty nice.

fritz_da_monkey · Post by **fritz_da_monkey** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 3:14 pm

It looks like the normals are flipped on that hand.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 2:22 pm

Backfacing maybe?

KOH_Church · Post by **KOH_Church** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 10:00 pm

Does look like the normals or was just rendered out wierd...maybe because of the animation I had that problem once...Hey any idea where I could find just a good model of Master Chiefs helmet i need it for a scene I am doing.
