looks sticky. Almost like someone tried to eat him. I like it
Edit: LOL... you even posed him as though he was traumatized from the whole ordeal.

He didn't pose him like that...

Are there any legality issues regararding sharing .3ds files? I'm re-creating a master chief umm... biped I guess?...and I was thinking about uploading it to FF or to my server for other people to use in 3DS Max... or is 3DS Max a program like Adobe Premiere Pro...where you need the base files on your computer somewhere... (like if I were to send someone a premiere pro file... they'd need the same clips labeled the same in a foder on their computer in order to actually see what I've done in Adobe Premiere Pro...)

I was just thinking that it would be nice for a lot of the newer modelers (even newer then myself) to have a basic master chief that's already been textured and skeleton(ed?) to move around and pose in 3ds... but if it's illegal, I won't even bother with it...

What would they learn from it? But yes, it is indeed illegal.

I'm not really too concerned with the learning part... more so just seeing newer/cooler renders by people who have the ideas, but not the time to go through everything, but if it's illegal... so much for that idea...

well ive already posted a material file, so it would be up to you to get the model/rig/textures yourself.

Better?

Hey, that looks pretty cool.
Just make the regular Master Chief normal a bit more pronounced under all those scratches.

Flip your normal, stuff is poking out when it should be dented in.

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 6:00 pm

It will be more screwed up if it's flipped.

I think the MC normal looks a little weak, and the scratches may be a bit strong.

Other than that...cool.

I agree, fix the bump so that there is more depth in it. Then it would look sescy

I repeat myself

I use the heightmaps rather than normalmaps for my models, but they tend to look a lot more pixelated compared to other people's models using normalmaps... is there any way I can fix this?

Another problem I have is that I'd like to extract the 3D file for one of the Halo PC levels. How can I do this?

Use bump maps, and Sparkedit for the models.

I was wondering if there are any tutorials that show me how to render Halo PC stuff, because I can't extract the models and texutres from Halo 2.

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:29 pm

its basically the same thing. except there are no pre made bump maps, and you have to get the spec maps from the multiply's.

JK-47 · Post by **JK-47** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:37 pm

Ok, I got the model in using the GBX Model Importer, but I'm not quite sure on how to get the bitmaps in. I have the Bitmap Extractor, and I tried using it, but it says I have to save the textures in Guerilla first. How do I do that?

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 9:20 pm

ive not figured that out either. ive only rendered a few pc models.
