The origins AND location on screen are technically impossible to achieve in CE.
1- Halos 2+ have crosshairs lower on the screen, hence a level gun points to a lower position.
2- Widescreen in Halo CE just cuts the top and bottom off of the screen, keeping the same FOV.

3- Widescreen in Halo 3 extends to the left and right, I believe.

still
A bit shinier, and scratches should stand out less

Heres a better one.


Top is Full Screen 16:9
Middle is Full Screen 4:3
Bottom is Split Screen

Something I've been working on:



Rendered in Photoshop

Wip of course. Parts that look empty are not worked on yet. Still some things to fix, mostly on the scope and chin rest.

HOLY ****!!!!!! That is sick! Let me tell you what needs work though.

...

That's right. Absolutely nothing!

Guass Rifle? Finally textured?

That rifle is epic.

I sooo want it...

*J.I.M.P faec*

@IBRU:

OH MY GOD ! Wait, it's you.

That is really, really nice. You texture too?

He animates, models, textures, unwraps, and makes great particle effects.

Do you work with Bungie? Because that is amazing.

It looks beaten up, but I assume that's what your going for. Good job.

094's fp arms shaders.

Recently fixed splaser.

Nice, but the fp shaders for the splaser look...odd.

Haven't touched the shaders at all yet, I was mostly showing off the charge particles I added from the CMT model.

Dude that Spartan Laser looks like one of the really old shader/model from years ago.

On a side note. Click for full size





New H3 SMG shaders. Proper shaders.

CRAP

Oh wow, the back actually looks great!

The rest is alright I guess. That skin has always been strange and H3 relied heavily on shaders from what I can see/remember/think/

Starting work on the Halo 3 Beam Rifle, but I really should get to finishing the Spartan Laser shaders.


Obviously it is really bad right now but I'll get to fixing it up, it's just that I hardly know where to start.

EDIT:I need you people's opinions so I know what needs fixing, so I'm going to say that I welcome and even encourage your constructive criticism.

Sucks.

If you wanna post similar pics of other weapons, be my guest.

I see that I need to add some animated shaders for the ruby parts.

Jesse I think you should take pictures in a more brightly lit area. One of the big parts about Covenant shaders is the reflections, and it's hard to judge the reflections if there's no lights :P

Wow, that is amazing! It looks just like Halo 3!!! OMG WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RELEASE THIS IT IS SOOO GOOD!!! The whole map, actually. Incredible.

*snickers*

Yeah, man. Didn't you hear? Spartan 279 has made perfect replicas of every single Halo 3 map. Also, all bipeds have Recon with flaming helmet and armor lock. If you press ALT and F4 at the same time, you get an early download.

I don't think the alt f4 works on my browser it just makes me crash. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE help me I want this so bad it sounds so awesome. Come on PLEASE some one give me a download link.

Erm. Keep trying. Sometimes it helps to completely shut down the computer so it has time to ah.... toggle the extruder valves. Should speed up the download by 9001%.
Edited by Echo77 on Jul 21, 2011 at 03:43 AM

Where would one locate the extruder valves. Are those the tubes running liquid to the big board and the other board sticking out in my computer? There is a pump attached. Do I disable it?

Yes. Open the pump with a screwdriver. You should see some wires. Cut the closest one wiith a pair of fingernail clippers before reassembling the pump unit. Make sure it has time to drain properly before you lock the seat into its upright position. Then try highlighting the picture of the map and pressing Alt F4.

Godspeed.

Oasis of the Seas :: Cruise Ship



Exterior: 25%
Interior: 0%
Detailing: >5%

The hours of UV/Texturing this has died. It is still UV'd but at one random point all got assigned to one material and I couldn't go back to undo. Well it's whatever, I will materialize after the model is finished.

Total Work: 8 hours-ish

It... it.....

*tears of joy*

Its private.

For me only!

Jesse, back to you - I've always hated the shaders on the glowing crystals in all versions of the beam rifle, including the in game ones... They always seem too over-designed. However, I'm sure others feel different and that's more of a subjective point.

Otherwise, I would say the non-Covenant metallic parts look a little lifeless and plastic, but maybe a more well lit screenshot could tell a better story.

I can't do shaders for crap, so if you fell the need to disregard what I say, then I won't be offended! :P

Make 2 shaders for te model (metal and shine), turn down the the saturation of the illum bitmap and edit the hue and brightness to make it a paler pink (also it's better to make a separate shader for illum an make it transparent(do this by deleting every part on the model except the parts where the illum goes and export it and import it into your scene,than assign illum
Bitmap and attach to the mesh of the original model and make the shader a shader transparent Chicago.)than make the shine a bit lighter and set the brightness low. I can help with multiple too if you like :)

I might have a try after I do my prowler
