The lighting isn't really the point of this tutorial though, thanks for the advice anyway. I'm still new to 3dsmax (about 4 months of playing around) but i've heard alot of good things about v-ray, i'll look into it.
Aight, cool man. Good job though, looks really nice. If you can implement hdri(WITH vray of course ;p) init, <3.
ok, i just added how to change the armor color to the tutorial. I also separated it into sections instead of one continous tutorial. Reflections are coming next.
ok, so i moved into my dorm at college and i haven't had much time to do anything, but just to give a clue about the reflections in case you haven't already figured it out: use a raytrace material with the color-change map as the filter. i think it's the opacity filter setting under the raytrace material, but i'm not sure. just look at the settings and i'm sure you'll figure it out
hey rossmengund...
well i have a problem...actually 2 problems:
masterchief's visor/goggles/whatever shows up as black
my biped structure won't pose with the models. could you help
that would be appreciated
(ps: if i make this seem like halo 2 rendering for dummies i'm sorry)
i dunno why but i cant post my renders i have them saved to a web file i'll just gieve the url http://www.angelfire.com/anime6/manga7/
for some reason my bipeds cannot be posed.
(i screwed up somewhere)
when it comes to the masterchief, the visor is completely up to you. there doesn't seem to be a simple texture that you can apply to it or anything. Just make sure it is using the chief's camo bump and has a yellowish color (or the cube map of the reflection named mirror_surface.0.0.dds) and also have the reflections as a raytrace material. lots of specular too
k thanx
i'll try that.
rigging is annoying i hate it but thankx for the visor help.
(oh and i used normal bump like you said...but i got a cell-shaded masterchief he looks rlly cool!)
speaking bout hands i gave a try at platts tutorial...
i cant rig the fingers there is only one finger on the biped...
how do you make them poseable?
(an answer is much appreciated [ps this is new to me and i'm trying to absorb as much of it as possible so i can ask less questions later] thank you for your time)
yes i know this might be a stupid question but im just starting out and im reading this tutorial and im stuck on the ADI part.... where do i find HALO 2 MAPS bcuz im just stuck on that....please help and thanks very much if you do help
yeah im still saving up to mod my xbox..... is there a way to get the maps without having a modded xbox, like someone sending it to me or something... cuz if thats possible that would be greatly appreciated... thanks for your time and any help you could do for me
we're not allowed to talk about modding here so go to www.xbox-scene.com. I can hint that you don't need to buy anything at all to mod your xbox. Just softmod like me. look it up.
anyway, college is going great, my gf is only 4 miles away at another college and i'm having the time of my life being around others with the same interests (computer engineering). I'm sorry i haven't had much time to finish this tutorial but i still plan on it.
