PLZ TAG AND RELEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, a few of you have been asking about the UI I've been working on.
Here's a little sneek peek at what's going into this.





All the pictures for the Classic Campaign and Multiplayer have been redone for a clean, larger size.
Other singleplayer maps, such as firefight, are getting their own images and descriptions as well.
I'm hoping to make this much more smooth, inclusive, and consistent than my previous project.

Looks great Mooseman.

I see you have a light in the center of the Halo, if you're keeping it I would suggest making it look something like one of these.




I do like your UIs overall, though.'


While I'm here, I found this texture in my imageshack, and I think i might revamp it and release

HK MK23 I started working on a long time ago but never took the time to finish until now.


Need to tone down the grime on the grip but I think its getting there.

The mesh is sitting at about 3600 triangles.

Love that pistol. keep at it.

I like the grime: keep it that way.

Think it is done.

accidentally saved with opacity, but oh well.

By the way, for yer reach elite render. It seems I can't open it without fumefx...

In the maps section of the material, click the reflection slot.
Add a reflect/refract material.
Add your cubemap.

To render out 6 images for making a cubemap you just add a cube to where you want the shot taken from.
Apply the reflect refract material.
Select the something from file check box.
Select where to save it.
Hit the select object and render button at bottom and click on the cube.
You can not cancel these renders so start small :)

I'll have to reupload the file later today; I think it's saved on a USB.
also, making a cubemap is as easy as making random shapes and rendering using 3ds max mental ray's 360 degree camera shader. I'll upload some 3ds max files for that too.

Thanks maniac and pronoob :)

You are welcome.
There are numerous ways to do this from the basic that i showed to realtime shaders in max.

Edited by Maniac1000 on Dec 20, 2012 at 11:02 PM

Realtime shaders are probably the easiest because you can have live feedback.

If you look at the Mk-23 I posted above, I used a reflection mask in the alpha of the diffuse to reflect a cubemap on the slide of the gun.

those shaders look disgusting

Oh God... that needs some serious help.

What the hell did you do to that armor!? Why does he have swords all over him, like he is some idiotic porcupine?

Yes, because a steel sword is really going to be useful for a spartan. You should focus on fixing those god awful shaders before you worry about making it into a hedgehog.

why are you being so abrasive?

@Altheros, he really only needs one sword, can you make it a modified energy sword?

(before that, you should probably fix your shaders :P)

Because he is generally abrasive and idiotic, its a habit. Either way, fix the shaders.

That didn't matter because of the three swords attached to the armor.

I noticed that too, but I personally think it looks better. The black visor (not the faceplate, the visor) offers much-needed contrast, you know?

The helmet looks fine.
Compared to the shiny-ness and the 3 swords.

Throw some sauce on that!

If it's that unsatisfactory with no Sauce,I don't think it will be any better with Sauce.

somebody wanted me to make a signature featuring their name and minecraft building, so I did the first thing that came to mind.

Left and right sides dont look proportional in size, but it may just be me.

its based on the anniversary hud's size and such, so blame 343.

NAAAAAWWW!!!???
REALLY?!

And so it goes...

gusta, does it auto update? (add new sp maps as they are found)
