[E3] Master Chief [Large Pics approved by DRL]

Veegie and I have decided to recreate the Master Chief from the Halo 2 Annoucement trailer shown at E3.

I made the material, and VG is working on poses or VRDM or something. As you can see, the visor is completely different from the ingame MC. I started over from scratch for this visor. The diffuse map was also altered, but not nearly as drastically. I remade the specular settings almost completely, and there are new specular colors for both armour and visor.

The only thing that is currently being worked on is the glow for the shield generators =)

A combination of normal mapping and VRDM to examplify and null out their according areas.
Modeled the visor.

And fixed the VRDM common problem known as the fat MC. Normally, as shown in Jean and other Ajama renders. White areas of the VRDM map would be raised around the black areas, to give the effect that the black areas were lowered. But all you actually got was a fat MC that had clipping faces etc. and unnecisarry planning. With the fix, it subtracts from the geometry rather then adds.

So I guess without further ado, here it is.

EDIT: That material is a few hours old

Just on the first e3 type one, his right rand looks weird/bland on the black-ish part.
