Thats awesome! But I feel like there may be a tad to many scratches in the bump that could potentially ruin the shader once ingame... Dunno though, try it out.

Use his bump >_<"

Is it just me or are Gaigher's images taking ages to load?

Same for me, and my bandwidth's pretty great atm.

He has used bmp... Gaigher, use jpg. NEVER use BMP...

*facepalm*

"Well there's yer problem."



For sure. Myself, by the way, had no problem loading them.

@dark soldier update, i think you should stretch the blue lights out some more, because
right now they look far too close together just.
apart from that it's looking good :)

Bmp = high quality, for Halo...

Sry, i edit the message (click on image to enlarge)

no... for god sake people. BMP, PNG ect.. they don't compress data, so you have ALL of the image data saved in the file. The majority of that data the human eye can't even see so it's useless.

BMP and PNG are for image manipulation and transportation so no quality is lost when editing them.

JPG's compress images are you can't even tell... use jpg.

Nice one GAIGHER, i would have linked you to the layered tiff to make life easier for you :)

If i make more patterns will you finish them too?

Edited by Maniac1000 on Mar 4, 2012 at 04:39 PM

BMP/TIF for Halo
JPG for Forum

I have not always time.
You have others ? (just construction lines, not the bump)

I made the table of my site.

Oooh, forgot mention that, yes Gaigher. You would use Tiff and BMP and other uncompressed file types for a game engine as you would want all the detail. But JPG's are for the internet, where the image will be loaded onto the screen on a website.

Yea, i make patterns and never can be arsed finishing them.

some nice textures there guys, i'm liking them all.

The bumps are very easy to make, ill make a tutorial tonight i think.

that would be good of you, my ps skills are rubbish. maybe a quick tutorial on the tools you make the shapes/lines with too?

Beautiful !
We could create a texture pack !

You create construction lines, i finish the textures...

Maniac1000 create construction lines.
GAIGHER finish the textures.

@ ally

http://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

NVIDIA Normal Map Filter for Photoshop.

download, install and make your own bumps it's really easy.

ally uses crazybump, which is better than that nvidia plugin.
and it wont help you actually create the shapes, but thanks Joddy.
also, yes you should release a texture pack GAIGHER.

Your construction lines are blurred.
This makes the work difficult to decoupage.

I renamed "forerunnernorm3" to "thick_strips_horizontal".

In 3Ds:


thick_strips_horizontal in 3D


thick_strips_horizontal_rusted in 3D



thick_strips_horizontal


thick_strips_horizontal_rusted

Nice.
The construction lines/shapes should not be blurred, i dunno why that would be.
Here are layered tiffs, these may be better to work with.

true i use crazy bump, thank you anyway joddy :)

lol bored


br icon sucks btw xD

you can ingame the Halo 4 BR when it's done, i will publicly release it

As much as I suck at modelling, I too am making a Halo 4 BR. That HUD isn't ingame, correct?

Don't think so. Here's the actual HUD for reference.

Great!! :D



Hud is in game :D
model by zeej

http://www.gamebanana.com/models/2016?vl[page]=3&mn=1&vl%255Bpage%255D=2&qpost=5759026

guess what it is or is it just that bad?
im planning on texturing when done and i hope to sell it for money for xbox live or
other stuff.
also, how do i fix these?

Why do people insist on rending models in colours... render objects are a grey, and don't render on full black. Also give the object a bit of glossiness...


Edited by anonymous_2009 on Mar 7, 2012 at 09:34 AM

Dark grey, #101010 - I usually use something like that. The general 3d art industry will say the same most of the time, black is horrid.

Dark grey is best, and make the entire model a greyish :)

I use that default grey, but when sub'd modelling I just use the top left grey from the object color dialog as don't really need a material :P
