I'm trying to get that glossy toy look.

All you did was apply a diffuse and give it a reflection bitmap...
Toys have specular and bump properties as well.

I used the aplha map of the diffuse map as the spec. and it was at level 80, and I used the active camo bumpmap as a bumpmap, obviously......

Obviously? If he couldn't tell at first glance then it wasn't very obvious, was it?
Make the bump stronger, and definately tone down the reflections a bit, toys aren't made of super-reflective metal.

im saying its obvious that I used the active camo bump as a bumpmap.

its actually kinda hard to tell it has a bump map in some places, such as the chest.

Creds for Jeans diffuse, but what really helped was that I tried to use mixes and the metal scratches detail, it really cut the cake!

just fix the visor. get rid of the alpha map in the reflection slot on it and set it up so it looks more like a mirror reflection. the armor however is great.

i got bored, so i started working on this.

Too chunky.

You need to make a custom halo 3 diffuse map.

theguardian, looks great but the visor looks a bit too washed out.

His armor's color is reminiscent of sewage.

Thanks to darcos help and the fact that my hdrs were bad I now have a new better visor.

darco9x2 · Post by **darco9x2** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 8:30 pm

did a little more work. Veegie, when you say too chunky im not sure what you mean. are you just talking about the bump?

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 8:40 pm

Just chunky.
As for the new one, barf.
Seriously, that looks horrible. It almost looks as if the chest as fused as one single piece.
