For the record, the halo 3 ghost has just as much detail and grunge stuff on the diffuse as mine (if not more), the only difference is that it's using a fall-off specular shader, which gives the armour a smooth fresnel effect on the mesh boundaries, giving the metal a clean, yet detailed appeance.

i.e, you judge the shader on material expression, not one bitmap.

If I was to make it "clean" looking for CE, it'd look almost cel shaded, or noob textured. Sorry, not going there.

Find something valid to nitpick over.

I never said make it clean. I said it has too much grunge. It looks a little overdone. The banshee looks perfect texture wise. Its just the ghost looks cluttered with dirt/grunge. Don't get me wrong, still looks amazing, just a little crowded.

GRRRRRRUUUUUNNNNNGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I personally think they both look fine. They have that nice smooth reflection to them while still looking covenant-beetle-ish. Maybe try and make the little blue lights brighter in game, but other then that I can't complain about any of it.

To make the ghost tilt when you strafe can't you just edit the strafe animations so that it tips down a bit to the side while it is strafing? I agree that that would be a nice effect. That probably belongs in one of the CMT threads and not Dane's personal thread though.

Do you even know what grunge is? Read my post again. Also, I also find it ironic that your saying it's overdone, when the stuff I've seen of yours looks underdone.

As I said, shaders are the respresentation of material expression, not a single bitmap. It's a whole collaborative effort between different aspects.

Great stuff dane, as always.

Damn, that new stuff is amazing, keep it up!

I'm not exactly Mr. Gun savvy, but aren't the rounds supposed to be positioned horizontally in the magazine? It looks like you've got them pointing down.
