I highly doubt reach cubemaps will be really useful...

Well,it would help make the tags look more Reach-like.

Was working on some stuff for the high poly group, came to a rut, created new, then this happened. May have to use that later on.

Is that Haven?

also, that section is way to small, you should have at least half a spartan of clearance from the roof

Just out of curiosity, what problems would there be if there isn't a half-Spartan clearance?
(Like say there's a map with a hallway that has barely enough ceiling clearance for the
Chief to walk through. Besides not being able to jump, what problems would come up?)

You would get stuck...

Probably because of the collision model.

So even if you can enter the hallway, you won't be able to move through it?
That's really counterintuitive... But okay, thanks.

continuing the trend;

3 of them have artifacts.
The bloodgulch one i posted was done in 3ds max.

that's how the HDR images were.

I knew that but ok. this is relevant how?

To making your own custom ones and not using random ones found on the internet.

Mister @Maniac, your bloodgulch cubemap looks pretty awesome ! Nice job as always ;) If it was a girl, I will married with her ! x)

Spartan094, that's odst looks great ! as always the same awnser, do you will release it ? probaly not.

@master noob nice job we need some custom cubemap yay !

@Eliteslasher, that's look cool, can't wait to see more about the highres mapping team :) !

Wrong acutely. I'm trying to port a decent amount of bipeds first from Reach to H1. Right now I'll leave the ODST alone (the ODST parts shares from reachs marines so its easy to port the marines over) and focus on other bipeds, after I get a decent amount ported I'll refine the shaders and anything else.

Shocker I'm going to release things :o

been doing these non os shaders for spartan 314

Idk why the head is cut off. I cant extract the illum right so that is why the alpha channel is blended.

That's nice :) Can't wait to see more ! Keep it up !

suprisingly difficult to make a good-looking specular HDRi in 3dsmax

How is this?

Make the ammo canister disappear more quickly.

Was considering a release on some random tags since i haven't worked on anything in so long. Last compiled February-March.



(Don't even ask about this one, it was a placeholder that was never replaced. Made in 10 minutes the day after footage of it was released)

Oh gawds,I wanna vomit.

OMG that cliff texture. I may join you in that vomit.

That has no relevance in this situation.
The textures/shaders don't look very good to me at all.

There's a reason this crap was never released guys. Never finished.

Been getting into rendering again.. this took little effort but i'll post anyway.

and heres the banshee with a little flavor of h4.

Looks great, I think the lights look fine. :o

i just edited my post and tuned them down a bit anyway to be on the safeside, if they looked better brighter then i will change again lol.

E: If people are at-all interested in these I will post more.

Please god don't make that. Halo 4 is bad enough.

Did you have to flip any normals or was the model exported perfectly?

Feel free to continue.

All of the assets have their issues when first ported (flipped faces for example). All the models I'm posting are model's I've already set-up and tagged for in-game use. So all I am doing is going back to the rig's I made for them a while back and setting up the lighting/materials. I'm not a big fan of "showing off" ripped content, just showing off my render work:)

Here's the focus rifle.

I recall the focus rifle not having such color patterns.
Perhaps I am just getting old though.

effects should be more blue/yellow/white

then turn to pink/purple/white

then red/white

I apologies for mis-coloring with the light. Right now I'm using it as a covenant sniper rifle for my maps. I dont have halo reach so I'm kinda doing my own thing for the moment. Think of it as a beam rifle i guess right now. Also @waffles, its just some exposure control combined with raytraced lighting and reflection, rendered from a camera with a 90 degree fov. Not really doing anything to special.
