@qwertyuiop15: grow up lol

I like it. But the bullet dents don't look quite rightm for some reason. I think I'd get rid of those and add more random damage of indiscernible origin.



Do want. Very much. Heretics are mah favoritest. Aside from Insurrectionists, of course.

Damn I wish My open sauce worked Cause these shaders look sick xd.

Yes, I get that some ppl don't like the fake bump, and that they are dark, and too black. Hence, custom edition, the ability to make them custom. If all bipeds looked that same, that would suck. - re-did the visor, as well as the armor, again:

good job, they look less from a cartoon now.

I give you the approval howl.

YAAAAAWL.

still too dark, and too shiny.

Maybe that's the aesthetic style he's trying for. Not everything has to match up to its stock counterpart.

excuse?... i'm not saying make it look like it looks in it's counterpart. I'm saying that so he can make it look good...

That's like making a warthog out of a box, then people saying it's just a box. That's the style I want it to be... no.

Except the spartans look like they are covered in lube because they are so shiny and glossy.

I always lube my masterchief. (Spontaneous combustion is a serious concern) If it looks to0 damaged, no one will play with my masterchief. If I get too much lube or gloss, you all get afraid that it might end up somewhere you don't want it like . . . in your map. I got rid of the bumps, and you seem pleased by that, but now you are afraid of the lube? What about just the visor to see how it feels?

I don't get it . . . are you all *girls* ?



/snicker

Yes, I toned down the shine, now it looks like a very light coat of cocoa butter. the most recent pics I had ticked "blend normals" on the model to see how it would look along with bright reflection, I unticked it, dropped the lube and *GASP!* and now it looks like it belongs in an old spice commercial. (look at your masterchief, now look at mine, now look at yours, now back at mine, I'm on a horse!).

I will post an update tomorrow, minus the lube.

this has been another fabulous episode of seemingly sexy times with slap happy, tune in next week when he teaches us how to work the shaft on the warthog!

srsly tho i'm likin this spartan, is it too much to ask for something shiny once in awhile?

(I bet I just sounded like your girlfriend )

Note how I refrained from using the word "realistic". So I don't know what you talking about, it can be unrealistic and look good, but it doesn't...

And yet somehow Minecraft succeeded with the art style of 50 year old graphics...

And yet the texture's are not too dark or shiny and don't look stupid... your example is pathetic. Your basing your argument on pixel sized textures and comparing it to current gen textures using millions of pixels. Fail.

And yet that comment in no way actually pertains to the actual content and point of anonymous' post.
E: I got ninja'd :P

It was a joke...

Seriously, you need to get in on the graphics obsessor jokes...

*facepalm*

and some cocoabutter

To be honest they look worse without the very shiny lubricant because of the darkugly fakebump.

/looked much better before, ignore anonymous2009/

Look'smuch better than before, but still a tad too dark. just look at the comparison in texture brightness between the environment and your shaders. my bad if that doesn't make sence, been up town...

and @XlzQwerty1. Who the heck are you? you are saying ignore me yet i give an honest opinion and realistic crit. Just because some people cry about my crit doesn;t mean it's invalid, so stfu :L

They look a lot better now. Over-the-top shininess does not look good, at all.

lol he has BULLET holes in his armor. Did some drunk marine shoot at him or something? XD

lol thanks

Fakebump is too dark and thick, makes it look bad.

to put it bluntly:

ruined

put the shine back

I mean really do you want a spartan that pleases the public like so many before it or do you want one that stands out to the unique few who wants something different?

Depends on the lighting of any map he makes. If he puts that thing into Bloodgulch or a map with similar lighting, and restores the shininess to the biped, it will look absolutely terrible and will stand out WAY too much.

If he develops a map that actually has a planet that is dangerously close to the sun or has insanely shiny lightbulbs installed, it would make sense.

This isn't about realism...

if gaming was supposed to be realistic and make sense then we'd have virtual fatties and ugly people up the ass, and while that would be nice for games like fallout, I would rather focus on aesthetics in halo, at least as far as character designs go.

ALL HAIL HARD CANDY CHIEF OR BE OBESE!!!!!!

Jolly Rancher Shader, and newer visor (yes, I know it strays from Mark V style)

Me very like. Except the visor shader. Too cartoony compared to the armor. Even though the armor is cartoony anyway.

Visor needs some work, the armor looks great.

*currently drooling uncontrollably*

I still see evidence of "fake bump". As I see black lines... and it just looks like plastic and silly...

Logical view: It's worse than before. Too shiny and stupid.

My view now: It looks awesome! I love the style you're taking. :)

I liek them. alot.
