There doesn't seem to be any reflection or detail maps on it =o

I like the banshee one, 'tis very nice. No too keen on the FP Models, although I suppose it's just a start.

Nah, no detail map. But there's a reflection map.

Your thumb is stretched a little inwards (towards his body) it seems.

Very nice there Ben. I think my only gripe is that it lacks depth in some areas (most noticable on the helmet). I love the visor though =D

And that the shield generators aren't properly transparent.

Is that what those little lights are? I've always wondered why he needed little glowy dealies. Learn something new everyday...

got a few i made in max, i do know that the scale of detail maps are off by a factor of 10, fixing it soon, just want tp see what u guys think of the idea behind them, also, in the second one, any ideas of making better banshee bolts and banshee contrails in photoshop, i can't seem to figure it out

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:11 pm

I know little of rendering, but wouldn't it be quicker and easier to just do that ingame and hit the screen cap?

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:13 pm

I think you could do the bolts using video post...but as for how the renders are now, I like where they're going.

ledhedgn · Post by **ledhedgn** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:15 pm

thanks GTAF
and geo, its harder then going ingame and getting screen shot, since getting the angle at the right time would be hard in it self, good idea though

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:31 pm

Yeah, I mean I understand when people render scenes that aren't normally possible within the Halo engine, but with renders like that surely it'll be better ingame.

Good job though, it looks ok.

Use the Catmull-Rom anti-aliasing filter. Area sucks.

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 1:19 am

what am i supposed to do in photoshop to make it look better?

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 1:34 am

duplicate layer
filter>gaussian blur>25%>hit ok
set blending mode to hardlight, lower teh fill opactiy so the image isnt too dark, but still looks shiny.

that should help
