ok here we go...

1) extract the MC and MC hands and load them into photoshop
2) select everything except the Facemask and press control u
3) change the color settings until you get a cool blue

hope that helped!

Thanx man for that! Another question what is a good 3d sort of program to do all this stuff on? anywhy nice pic

a solid program for importing and exporting for halo is milkshape 3d but its not a good program if u want to just do modeling and stuff then go with gmax its free and powerful, but if u want to model for halo use milkshape.

no i just want to know what the master cheifs file name is and how to get metallic colours in gmax!!

Beastman · Post by **Beastman** » Fri Mar 19, 2004 12:43 pm

u know even if u do get a metalic color in gmax u cant export it and put it into halo and have it look metalic, those materials are for rendering, and u have to have a special script in gmax just to do that, I dont know if gmax has this but if u can then ur gonna have to go to your material editor and i doubt it has premade materials so ull have to make your own by making a material with reflection map, up the specular and glossiness, and have that reflection map a silver color and apply it as raytrace but i very much doubt u can even do that in gmax, to make good renders just get the trial of 3d max and do it in there.

open hmt3, go to any map, go to pc models, and its like the first one on any map i believe, cyborg\cyborg\ is what it is, the fp one is just his detailed hands.
