I honestly cannot decide what fp arms I want to use, the h4 ones are pretty ugly, especially because I cannot get the shaders right. I like the simplicity of the original h1 ones, I might go with the evolved arms. H2 is ugly and square, h3 the textures looked stretched, halo reach's look like you have cylinders on your forearms.

What one do you think I should use?

The H1 and Evolved set look pretty good. Though really the latter is really just an HD version of the first. H3 and HR ones aren't too bad really, but they wont really look too great in CE sadly. H4 arms wont look all to great in CE either. H2 arms aren't too bad though.

So Either H1, H2, or Evolved should be your choice. Might as well go Evolved to make stuff look nice

HR arms really rock for me. (Play bigass)

(Side note. How to get rid of victoria secret ads on halomaps site?. Its 2 hrny 4 meand distracts me from mapping+)

Ads are displayed to what you have searched if I remember correctly. So, you must be either A: on your moms computer or she has used yours a lot. Or B: your looking up other stuff.

my favorite are the cmt spv 2 arms

I'll take a look into it, good to see halomaps isn't dead with that downtime.

Thank you for the link Kinnet.

SPv2 arms are the same as SPv3/Evolved iirc except the latter has better shaders

and a new model lmao

I'd say if you can fix or find someone to fix the old VKMT H4 FP arms those can look really good. The H4 MK VI FP arms look pretty nice. You can find the link if you search enough. On mobile atm. If you go with those try replacing the techsuit arm bitmap with solid black or something, it could look a lot better.

K.

Snot me. Must me casper.

Now I really don't know much, being the animator and all who used the FP arms (alongside Lag), but I'm pretty sure they were the same arms as SPv2 but with a new skin and all. But you know, what would I know?

If you can't decide, here's a giant compilation of all the FP arms I have in my possession through the years. I had a thread a while ago but I can't find it, nor the link, so I reuploaded and should probably upload to Halomaps too sometime...

If I could hug you I would. This gives me a really good incentive to learn how to rig. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

A good chunk of them are rigged to standard h1 bones. In fact I think only the elites aren't (minus the h2 arbiter)

Wasn't this the thread?

Yes. And my best render ever, too.

Use Altis FP legs.
