Even though Sain's post was stupid and and hardly served a purpose.
That is no reason, Snave.
Though I'm not an expert on user-created rules that are topic-specific.

Chief Cow, scale it lower.
If that is a 10, scale it to 6.4.

Get Creative

Mesh the two together... Hybrid Plasma Sword

I don't think it would be hybrid.
Halo 1 was old. Halo 2 was improved and evolved.
If you combined them, you'd have some sort of de-evolved 1.5.

Ok... So this Hybrid would be a little twitchy

You could think of it as an improved Halo 1 sword

Same Form... (Almost) Same "Static"... but One Color

I would take Pictures of the Halo 1 Sword (again

Hey, need some help on shadow raytracing.

I'm using the mental ray renderer and direct light with raytaced shadows. When i render, the shadows appear blocky like so:

This is has never happened to me before, so I have no clue how to fix it...if you guys need any other information about the scene to help me solve this, just ask and I'll get it posted.

does it appear with scaline?

Chief Cow · Post by **Chief Cow** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:22 pm

Woah, it does do the same thing with the scanline renderer...

Ideas?

Try changing the type of shadow casted by the light(s).

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:26 pm

Don't use Mental Ray.

Chief Cow · Post by **Chief Cow** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:36 pm

Read my other post Veegie, it happened with Scanline too

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:38 pm

Merge your objects into a new scene so you have default rendering settings. And set up a standard omni in place of your existing one, with shadow maps.

First attempt at a halo2 material...

The Visor is reflecting the box, incase you think that its just colored that way

Suggestions??

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:02 pm

That is some messed up GI.

Chief Cow · Post by **Chief Cow** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:04 pm

Only around the corners, its just a test render anyway. Only concerned with the material

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:04 pm

maybe better specular and cubemaps on the armor. and then if you want the emblems would be a nice addition.

Chief Cow · Post by **Chief Cow** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:05 pm

Well i dont have a xbox, so can someone please send me the emblems??

Heh, I've been collecting parts and pieces of Halo2 MC for a while

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 10:28 pm

http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/h2emblem/

i used that to get mine. the hardest part for the emblems is unwrapping them, but once you figure out how its unwrapped its really easy. my xbox is officially broke now. doesnt play any games at all.
