p sure they're capable of doing that without you, as they always have been lol.

Nah, it was generous of him to volunteer. I was about to do it last night but I had trouble adding him as a forum moderator. :-/

I'll go through and do it myself, though.

oh god whats this i dont even






almost 2.5 years in the making, <3 u dane

...fuck that lighting came out weird. ignore the cyan spots.

there we go.

[CodeBrain]

Excuse me

But I prefer the Sentinel Enforcer from Halo 2 rather than yours.

I am sorry

[Advancebo]

I only really like the shields, the rest look a bit much.
And I think you dont like the enforcer, codebrain, because of the render.

[Inferno]

Shield is not exactly... Round... Needs to be more round and a higher rez texture and its cool.

Uh.... would you care to elaborate?

I don't know what that means.

Yeah, I rendered with my meshsmooth modifier off by accident. (I've kept it a modifier to allow for easy tweaking of the shape without getting a mess of verts).

E : There, it's back on.

Alright then.

1. Normally most H2 models use normal maps in order to bring out the model. Since Halo CE doesnt allow the use of normal mapping, this can be passed.

2. It might be the render doing it, but it doesnt look right. Heres a pic:



And here is yours (Dane's texture)



One thing if you going for accuracy is the texture itself. Sure, the blue lights on it make it look realistic, but do you see anything like that on H2's textures? No. It also seems to look better that way, since I think the Sentinels never had lights like that, even in Halo 1. The only thing they had was their head sensor.

3. The shield. I like the blue shield idea bungie had rather than the blue-green combo, due to it looking more natural to the Halo environment. Have you even seen a sentinel with green anywhere? I believe not.

Remember, dont take my crit in the wrong way (T3h Lag and Dane)

[teh lag]

actually there's a pretty big blue light on it in the pic you posted

Also the lights I'm using aren't even the right ones; dano forgot to include the lights in his rar and I faked them using the self-illum channel of the multi he gave me.






That's what it "actually" looks like. (I suppose my render materials are in order of revising now that I know how dano wanted it to look.)

[Disaster]

There is also a little thing called creativity

Why should it be exactly like h2? Its not like we are recreating halo 2. They took a few ideas and expanded on them

[NuggetWarmer]

Why does it matter if it's accurate or not? We're not H3MT or H2CE/H2MT. We're CMT.
