Indeed it is

Rawr. Rerout made the textures, I edited them to make them look like a Necromorph.

It looks unconvincing.

And that means?

Ne3eds to look a bit more realistic imo

This is 2012, make the texture higher res...

johnson player model, nuff said :P





figured out that you could save envelopes to preserve vertex weights :o allowing me to rescale and posistion bones, then reload the envelopes for a perfect rig. saving mb like an hour of time?

Awesome shaders, nuff said.

Haha you should make it so when you toggle flashlight it lights his cigar.

lol i could actually do that, and add a smoke trail with functions xD

Yeah, It'll glows so bright that it lights the way like a flashlight.

I like this idea. A lot.

i have the illumination bitmaps, i can add it as a bonus. also should add a small dynamic light too for moar sexiness.

Please do! Shaders look AMAZING btw.

oh and thanks to a shared body, arms, etc i can get rookie in as a player model, and a few others possibly, probably not gunna have dutch or romeo do to unextractable bitmaps (dutch) and missing permutations (romeo)

NIIIIIIICE.

Noble 6 Jetpack Biped. Just decided to chuck it in here in the bipeds thread.

h3 chief shader

Well im still trying

nice jim! where are your lights though? :(

oh **** i forgot about those lol. ill have to add some back into the mesh

Getting better

anyone seen this before?

elites have those wrist E-swords vs spartans and these retractable blades.
unnecessary yes but its still kinda cool.

its really hard to make bad shaders with OS WITH ripped content imo. are you editing the specular? if so.... DONT. you really dont need to touch the ripped bitmaps, adjust specular properties and use a different visor cubemap, a more generic one.

What is that from, and why has nobody made one yet?

Even foregoing the wrist blades and possibly the bone necklace, the helmet decal itself would be kinda cool.

Wolverine became a spartan?

The color needs to be more rich, deeper and less blurred\grayed\faded\ yeah, those words work. You get the idea, right?
See other picture for reference.


The reflection map is supposed to brighten it up. Not the color itself.

Well could one of you please provide me with a good cubemap

PS waffles some are not as perfect as You

what? you serious? i just have basic knowledge of halo ce, and textures in general. i even offered advice -_- generic stock cubemaps are your friend, h3 uses a dynamic cubemap system that ALWAYS changes, hce does not. its better to generalize your shaders for hce.

the h3 spartan is almost sole-ly specular, very rarely ingame do you even see much cubemap reflection at all... and you DO NOT have to edit the specular map, it was made that way for a reason...

for the visor experiment with stock cubemaps. try b40_cubemap_outside, cyborg armor reflection, forerunner interiors. i find that those do a decent job for visor materials, mess with perpendicular and parrallel colors/strength. add a bit more gloss to the visor's specular settings (increase specular coefficient).

@grunt
that isnt even a h3 ingame reference, the cc has been messed with, and theres some weird detail map or something over the armor.



do you see a cubemap on that armor? NOPE. SPECULAR.

EDIT: oh, and the lights are blue friend.

Well....
He gets great assets, gives us them without question and also helps as much as he can with the help threads.
It's not perfect but it's close.

Waffles what would you recommend i put in the specular lighting part.
thanks for the picture.

is this better?

Edited by The_Arbiter on May 11, 2012 at 10:31 PM

Better, but make those lights blue.

I fixed the lights on it


Edited by The_Arbiter on May 12, 2012 at 12:02 AM

armor and rubber look MUCH better, the visor is a little bright however.

Why thank you
