The bump maps are directly from in game (e.g. not the active camo bump)... how are the bumps any worse? It's probably my shoddy lighting. Plus, I released this because Con suggested it and I thought it might help someone out that knows absolutely nothing about materials in 3ds max.Quote:

there's your problem. there are a few artists at halomods (yes halomods -_-), who have made spectacular materials, that will gladly assist anyone with a good interest in such things. if you don't care that much there are about 30 downloads available on halomaps.org (or at least there was last time i checked) with the same materials and rig. So basically, this is nothing special.Quote:

i try to load this but it is asking for hte following, btw im using max7
biped.dlc
sceneeffectloader.dlu
and some built in file that it doessnt name
does anoyne have an idea?
or should i get max8?
You need 3ds max 8. Also, this rig's purpose it to look mostly in-game. I know I could have made a custom bump (which I suck at D: ) and made it better, but that wasn't the intention.
okay thats all i needed to know thank you :) +rep
How would I go about making the model remove its helmet?
Make it animate, check out the (auto)key and the frame slider at the bottom.
Although you'd probably only be able to take off his head (lol), i don't think there's a head under the helmet...
Ok, it has joints... you can still do this though

by reading tutorials on your 3d package, assuming you're not a TOTAL newbie to the application, and get tutorialised.Quote:

animating isnt simple. you're not going to be able to do it with 2 hours of messing around.
welcome to the forums, and pay attention to how new people get punished, tortured, raped, and murdered. try to avoid making the same mistakes as so many have made here, and you might survive.
if you don't, you will be gone soon enough.
You'd have to model head geometry under the helmet, add it to the skin modifier, remove the helmet from the skin modifier, give the helmet a node that has a link constraint or something like that to the head, and then animate it off. =pQuote:
