Thought I would join the Halo sig bandwagon, and Pigglez'(s?) Halo stock pack provided some excellent stocks. For this sig in particular, I did some rather tricky light-source removal. In the stock, there was a bar of light that ran right through the shotgun blast, so I removed it and recreated the blast. I was pretty happy with the way this one turned out. Also, I tried using distortion a bit with this one, so that might be kinda bad since it was my first attempt at it. I made this sig after being thoroughly impressed by the Section 8 XBL demo. I have two alt versions, one in which I simply recolored it, and one in which I made it a tech-style sig. If anyone is good with tech sigs and has tips for improvement, they would be much appreciated Alt. Versions: Spoiler
good job on the whole re-lighting of the shotgun blast, it looks pretty good to me. Although the spartan itself is a little odd, blurry, and very bright, you did a good job on the shotgun and thats what you worked on the most
Is this version better? I darkened and recolored the armor slightly, so that it wasn't as super-bright.
I like the original, and the first alternate of the section 8 ones. The tech one is meh, but it could be totally badass with some more work.
Thanks, glad you like them. I might go back and put some more work into the tech one, but I think I will try making a new tech one as well... I had a hard time deciding how to do the tech stuff because you don't want it to get too cluttered. Well, I originally didn't have noise in the background, but it looked rather plain, so I textured it a bit to give it some character. What else looks LQ about it?
