These are a little awkward to make

I find it best to make these things high res, then you can simply resize it.

except for when parts of the texture blur together when recycling (EX being text)

sent him a message. we'll see what he says :D

Tried something a little different.

too bright imo. make it more transparent.

This would look good on a geth ;)

I follow you.

And i am glad you do :)

And there you have it

um... what does that accomplish?

how the hell am i supposed to know? do i look like ive made an SP map before? the only time ive successfully made ANY AI spawn in a map was when silent STRKR was makeing a halo community campaign project which he placed some into a map with a script and stuff and i just changed things up.

AI and sp mapping is a mystery to me, im just quoting what he said.

I think i may add more details to this one.

Reminds me of the gigantic scope glint in bf3

made it a sun lens flare instead.

I like it. You might wanna add another very large bitmap which would make everything around brighter when you look at the sun.

feel free to use this.

I made it even brighter!

Now its too bright D: but i like it.

Now go teach cmt lense flares... (|:.)

That lens flare would be perfect for a sunrise imo

That lens flare would be perfect for a halcyon class cruiser's engines going critical and blowing up a giant death machine.

That lens flare would be perfect for the sun any time of the day in BF3

I made moar!

Looks nice, but shouldn't the interior be more lit up then?

If those interiors gave off dynamic lights so the forrunner metal would be lit up, it would be awesome, because without it the lens flares look out of place, other than that it's great

lol I actually recoiled when I saw the Sun flare. "IT'S BLINDING ME!!!"

So I got bored, thought I'd try to convert the grunt textures to HD

right now I'm working on sharpening the original details of the texture so that it's less blurry

you should be able to spot the areas that have been fine tuned, I started with the edges, and am now working on the armor on the lower right side of the torso texture

I'm going for painstaking accuracy to the original details before I add in anything like scratches to the armor, they may never be completely clear but they should at least be a little sharper

Was there originally supposed to be gibbing on more than just the Flood?

I believe so

EDIT:

skin needed a lil sumthin sumthn cause I couldn't get that blurriness to go away. when in doubt, add some circles



not what I wanted to do initially, but you can only do so much to an 11 year old texture without adding to it

I feel dirty now

On your first post there wasn't much of a difference, you just filled in some of the dark areas, but your last post made me mentally eat my words. The skin looks a lot better and you should keep at it.

Perhaps you could add details to the metal on the right?

Ugh,can't you fill it with something less disgusting?
You never get to decapitate Grunts anyway.

you can decapitate them in in the flood campaign, so for the sake of mutilation lovers I plan to try and make the neck innards more disgusting
Edited by Delicon20 on Nov 17, 2012 at 11:56 PM

Well, that's disgusting.

end of day 1

started making some of the metal look a bit more worn, and made some parts of the neck less blurry

I'm gonna toss around some Ideas for the grunt's throat area, kinda want to saturate it and turn it blue to match their blood (like the way the insides of people are usually red in video games) and maybe add a neck bone, now we all know why Halo was rated M
