Subject: Halo: Reach Graphics sneak peak

Mattman jr

I've noticed in the newest news article Bungie has given us, there is a grunt and its shell is white, and slightly better looking. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT REACH WILL LOOK LIKE. It just looks.... different to me... oh right click here

I mean the grunt shell not the skin textures or anything else just the grunt shell.

i just looked at it again and that doesnt look like a drawing to me... and if it is... that is one kickblam artist!

It is just an untextured render I believe with some hilarious photo-shopping!

lol yeah i'm not sure what that guy is doing in there, but this picture is posted on Bungie.net right along with the interview for one of the animators for Reach...soooo....

Its from Halo 3 ODST with the head photoshopped in

This, except it is textured. it's a render done outside the Halo engine, so it's got a different reaction to light and no normal maps.

I seriously hope reach DOESN'T look like that, seeing as the skin textures are horrible.

the head isn't new graphics and i'm not saying this is Halo: Reach. The grunt shell is white (personally i've never seen a white grunt in odst...) and the shell looks photoshopped on, but it also looks like a better graphic shell

Agreed, that would look horrible in gameplay...

The shell's a matte texture with no normal maps for damage and a lack of metallic reflections, probably rendered in mentalray/vray (which is definitely a better renderer than H3). It's not what it'd look like in-game, but more an attempt at seeing if the textures are mapping properly and how they look on a model.

wow i'm going to be honest with you, i didn't understand any of that. however i'm just going to asume you know more on the subject then me ( which you probably do) and if you say it will look better then i will take your word for it. Thanks for the input everyone! :)

Bungie makes Custom Pictures for all the "Breaking-in" and "Broken-in" News articles. It's not a Reach picture.

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

That is a nice, well-done shell.

No the thread creator is totally right that looks like a new grunt i think maybe they just slipped it in. his picture is proof and you should believe it and not just keep saying the words that are confusing like it makes you an expert. i dont get why people are so negative its really annoying.

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Fail!

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

I would say so, just look at the Grunt's eyes, normaly for Halo 3 they should be red, but they aren't.0_0

OK. TO put what I said simply:

the grunt is just a Halo 3 grunt without normal maps or reflections. The texture is low-resolution and crappy on every other part of it, there's no reflections or damage to the armour which indicates no normal maps, and as a result of that is was NOT rendered in a game engine. It's the same model as Halo 3 as well.

It's just a joke model, the guy probably rigged it (gave it a skeleton and posed it) like that in 3d studio max then rendered it and photoshopped it into the picture. It's NOT rendered in a game engine, because no developer in their right mind would make a AAA title without something as simple as normal mapping, or use the default texture (all models in H1 had a default white texture, at least grunts, elites and spartans) or an OLD model of the character.

see this is what im talkin about i mean this is all just to make people confused and to make it seem like you are right. obviously they are throwing us a little bone and just being cool and you cant even appreciate that.

you dont know everything so stop shutting people down when they are right and u are wrong.

We don't KNOW who's right in this case. All I'm saying is that is NOT the reach texture. It's the grunt ultra texture from Halo 3 but without any scratches. You do NOT stick two textures together on a model that small, so it HAS to be the same texture as the crappy skin. It is NOT the reach texture, because it looks IDENTICAL to how a grunt ultra would if it didn't have normal maps.
