Description
Just to show things to come - We understand the lighting is strange, we're playing with custom maps and a new skybox technique that completely removes any visable seams.
Also to clear things up - the mod will come with cnlpapper's shaders, but as an optional thing. We understand not everyone can run them, including our coder who took the above shot.
what are those shaders?, graphically?
Dynamic reflection of light from a normal mapping layer (I think, correct me if I'm wrong).
Yeah, basically improves the shading of HW2 so it looks more modern and enables things like normal mapping to be used effectively. Generally, it makes things look sexier.
The wingspan of the (Halo CE) longsword is 75m and the width of a Frigate is 151.9m, which is just barely two time the size.
I am inclined to agree. :P
This looks so awesome!
looks awesome, can't wait to play it!
Looks pretty good, guys.
The planet in the background is particularly striking.
Great this looks so Awesome what you can do ghraphicaly with the old HW2 is just Madness.^^
PS:Keep it up im watching you;D
It's hard to tell from this angle but I think that's Reach...
Also, those models are insanely well done, congratulations man, been following the blog and am truly impressed with the path that this is taking. I've been following this mod since the beginning and love what I'm seeing.
Keep up the great work man!
I think it's a random earth/earthlike planet Matt used from his other mod.
those fighters (i think its fighters) are nearly as big as the frigate (again i think its a frigate) isn't that a little unrealistic EVEN for halo???
It's the angle, the fighters are on a much higher plane than the frigate. Though, longswords are the size of boeing jets anyway, they definitely don't fit inside of the frigate.
I think this is called "perspective" ... just the way he took the pic.
i wish ther was a word for how good this is
Fantabulous?
lol i want one!
i have played a lot of strategic games in my time and also all of the halo's but a space halo version of hw2 this is going to be awesome
any point defense guns? (sorry i don't see any)
