Random green scribble on the top of the image?

Yea, i was not sure if i was going to use a program such as 3d coat or zbrush to texture this, so i didnt use overlapping shells, except for the green mess of teeth :)

it's probably a shared texture space area, ie illumination (since glowy polygons generally don't have textures or get shaded)

edit: or teeth. teeth could still be planes with teeth transparent teeth texture though, ie halo 2

Sorry guys, the elite bit the dust. GRUNTS has requested that I post the source files and stuff due to cancellation. Hopefully you all enjoy messing around with this thing. Cancellation is pretty much final. I will be posting the files i have on me soon.

Okay, so let me get this strait...Maniac just finished unwrapping it, it's rigged, you have some of the animations, and you're just going to give up now? What else needs to be done? you put the reach textures to this model, then what? finish animations, in-game, done, right? So then why give up when you're this close to completion?

To "put the reach textures to this" would involve redoing the uvw's to match the reach texture.

cancelled?! NOOO!. Learning how to do bipeds nao...

Are you gonna release the unwrapped model? Please do, i'll give putting the reach textures to it a shot.

It's impossible to apply reach textures onto something with a different unwrap, sorry.

Well then why wasn't it unwrapped to the Reach texutures to begin with?

I will not allow a fully custom model to be unwrapped to rips.

Wait what ? let me have my lil'lol here.
... Done. I wish I could finish it, but too busy with college D:

It's just textures, who cares?

The goal of this was to create CE's first fully custom elite biped. Everything is to be done from scratch, not reused from other games like you may have wanted. The model, textures, and animations are all custom. We weren't going to use rips from any halo game.

Oh, so you know what my personal personal preference is for custom content?
It's good enough that the model and animations are custom, but unlike what you think, ripping textures really isn't a big deal. I can understand how you want this too be 100% custom, and I respect that. But if you really want this released to the public, you might as well use the Reach textures.

Also, on a side note, it isn't necessarily 100% custom if it's a biped from a game that has already been made. So that kind of already defeats the purpose of it being a "fully custom biped".

I see I offended you, though I'm sure you understand what "may" means. And I think everyone here knew what I meant by custom. No need to get technical with the terms here, as I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you on what's considered custom. We have a simple goal that isn't hard to understand, and I'm not here to debate with you whether that goal is worth it or if we've even met it.

Under your definition, wouldn't CMT's elites also be custom?

While they have a fully custom set of model perms and textures, they implemented the stock animations with some new ones. This is efficient and saves them time. However, this is the first elite to have a custom model, textures, and animations. That is what I meant by fully custom.

His logic... its flawless...

Nah, you didn't offend me. But like I said, I can understand why you want everything to be custom and that's fine. I'm not debating you on anything.

Alright, in that case we're all good. :)
