Looks ok but you really need to look at making it seamless imo

this has no seams.
if it did there would be faded lines and the texture would be slightly tiled.
i can see you done this with the spray tool in gimp, ps or whatever you used.
use different layers for each color then it should blend more and try the hardness tool aswell,
then just flatten the whole thing. i think if the brown shades were greys then the texure would be fine for rocks, the green would replicate a little moss.
still good to see you are trying to make your own textures tho.

you didn't say what it was for, hence the guess.
but yeah for a lake bed it should be grand as it would be slightly blurred anyway once the water shaders set up.

Working on some Halo 2 particles\decals.

The new BSP for Rerout's map "Awakening" (previously known as Toten Nacht) has just been put ingame for the first test run. Sorry for the extreme fog, I need to get him to tone that down a bit.

Yeah sorry i meant like, when you unwrap it on a model it doesnt have a repeated pattern of grass that looks really unproffesional. Make it so i blends well with the repeated textures.

Fog doesn't look too bad, it gives that sense of mysteriousness.

The fog is just left over from the old temp sky used in the original BSP. After spending a few hours fixing the open edge issues, I just slapped that on to make sure it would get in game. Also, I am probably going with Reawakening like you suggested, the "re" was left out due to a typo when naming folders.

Don't really know what all that is. So with that being said, the only thing I like so far is the water

yeah that's some nice water :p

Nope... still not seeing it.

its okay, textures make me wanna cry tho

looks like danger canyon or something idk

I see. Well best of luck to the two of you.

More Reach HUD goodiess, finished the shield and health meter:

are those for release mister???

Once done, yes, yes they will be sir.

I could start making the map, I have the dimensions that were originally going to be for a forge map, but I can model it in gmax, once I figure out the scale conversion from a 1x1 forge block to a CE model unit.

Been working on the plasma pistol model + shaders.

Too purple for my tastes, but the meter looks nice. Maybe turn down the illumination on the green parts too (too bright, unable to see details).

Simple cubemap change. Looks a lot more like its H3 counterpart:

needs more pink and grey

GUHHHH! SEEEEXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Shouldn't it be more blue?

Looks pretty good to me right now.

Forgot the groundpoint anyway.

I know right xD

I added the illum button, worked on the charge effects, modeled in a little hinge on the cover, and added a lens flare to the meter (which changes from blue to red with the meter).




I got to work on the multipurpose a little more.


I add this for you to compare and such but I use my own halo 3 as a reference, not random pictures on the internets.

Smoothing was tough yeah. I haven't looked into the meter much besides the simple color change, but maybe we could change (invert) the gradient on a second meter placed on top of the first. I'm going to look into that. I have the extracted H3 decals and I'm going to replicate those and the particles too.

You should make your perpendicular reflection less strong, like 0.6, and darker, it would look better I think, it needs to blend more with the "specular". I dont remember if it's inverted or not since I didnt do much shadering recently

Can you go stand in a more lighted location? Your current location is too dark in comparison of the spot of that other picture. If you have Halo 3, you could also go in and take pics in different lighting locations as well.

Thanks, I've also been working on the decals.




EDIT:

I added waffles cubemap



Stare in awe at the awe inspiring awesomeness.

LOL THE FINGERS ARE SO MESSED UP. But it's great to see someone actually got this ingame. I've tried to do this like 2 years ago but failed rigging because of the same weird errors you have, since the bones and the model don't quite match up.
