Im guessing you modified the detail map...

Transparency is better, but it's still too big

Naw, its not the visor. Hes showing off something about the weapons.

well close but no but I'll drop 2 more hint.

1: start with "B" and it end with "P"
2: it been done in h2v

I hope my grammar is ok...

bitmap.

ok I give up it no fun but it " 'bump' mapping"
I was like why did bungie have bumpmap on the weapons til I saw the PR skin on the H2V and it look almost like h1 PR but in-game they look better which Im tring to make it look better with the bump map. good thing is it kinda look better thooo :)

The plasma Rifle is using a default skin\card and multipurpose and it never look just like that til I added a bump map into it.

I might release few shader for all halo 1 weapons used with a bump map so your weapons can look good. :)

You can have bumpmaps on shader_models now? Or is this the fake bump method?

what a fake bump?

Probably fake method.

what a fake method?

You can't have bump maps on anything that isn't part of the environment.

ok that is it! Im changing my quote on my avatar and he got to go just like the old yeller... he got killed by a 10 year old cuz he erase the answering machine... anyway you can bump almost anything but the shader that you use for numberic.

Your quote just proves how immature and ignorant you really are.

No I didn't I didn't even go anywhere near your h3 biped tags and dude you need to fix the biped cuz 2\3 of them are white in campaign but the recon is green but the shoulder pad on it is blue... and I just got it from bungie not you for real...

Normal maps are very common because of their ability to change lighting on a surface and give it the appearance of having more detail. A normal map basically changes or adds upon the "normals" of an object. The normals are how light is reflected off of a surface. The simplest form of editing normals can be seen with smoothing groups. A smoothing group changes the normals to reflect the light off so as to produce a smoothing or hardening effect on specific faces.

A normal map is composed of 3 channels, Red, Green, and Blue. Each of these channels control a certain aspect of the "normals." The red channel controls the x axis. The Green channel controls the Y-axis. The blue channel stores Z-axis information. (the direction the normals point)

Normal maps can also come in many forms. The 2 that are used most often are Tangent-Space and Object-Space.

• Tangent space normal maps simply add onto the old normals of the low poly model. These meshes can be mirrored unlike Object space, and are the most common throughout the gaming industry.


• Object space normal maps are better in the since that you get a prettier model. However, meshes can't be mirrored and you have to have complete set of UVs, no overlapping. Object-space completely ignores the normals of the low poly mesh and only displays high poly normals. These are not commonly used because of this reason.

Well I rather go with the black and white bump map it make my BSP look waaaay better... and here a real bump map I made for CAD AR this is no bullship it actually real ok? good.



here an update!




Edited by lil_bankhead on Sep 4, 2009 at 09:10 PM

no not "ok good". you can not bump map anything other than the bsp. the only way people are doing it is by using work around methods, but none of them produce a very good looking result or have anything to do with actual normal maps. you did not bump map anything

then how do you explain this...


hm? there no multipurpose for this so in that case I did :D

idgi

you have no idea what your talking about. That is not a bump or a normal map.

That's a very disgusting shotgun.

He says hes finished with it, and not changing it. Considering he already unwrapped it.

I don't like the flashlight during the fp b\c it too boxy :v

I'm pretty sure if there was a bump map on that, the shadows would be altered.

You can also see a .gif of it (4:3 ratio) in the Studio Quick Crit over at Modacity:

Thats not a Famas.

Wow, you are just a complete moron. If you had looked at the Modacity thread (and seen how much of an idiot you are), you would have seen that I posted what it was.
It's this:http://www.fpsbanana.com/models/1245
With this on it: http://www.fpsbanana.com/models/1070

Now, get the hell out, or CRITIQUE THE WORK I'M SHOWING. I'm honestly getting sick of your +1 post counts and if I could ban you I would have, uncountable times.

This is the weapon I used, the raw file before I started messing with it:


All I did was take off the carry handle, and then add those attachments you see there, as well as that Acog scope I posted a link for.

bump maps fail in halo /discussion

odx you should post a download for a wmv so we can see it frame by frame. thats usually how i check to make sure everything looks good. i open it up in windows media player and use the frame by frame button to see each frame individually.

It is undeniably a famas. And a fine animation.

Sorry about the strange origins, it was originally just a copy origin from when some full-res screenshots of ODST were released. Later I decided to animate it and got this. I'll speed up that reload a bit for you so it matches the sounds. Also, I humbly ask you send the map over my way too.

Take a picture in-game from fp view, and add the plasma rifle cube map to it.

It looks really plain. And the grip needs something better.

if your using max 8, then press the 8 key. You can change the background color that way. Also, set some lights.
