@jamesackerson2 @HOSTILEPILOT @Rookie_425 @MemeCryptum Obviously it's subjective but that's no fun, I'm not gonna wallow in relativism when there's banter to be had.

Dipping back into FF for a sec to start de-placeholderifying some of the vehicles like the Sharpshooter
Also gotta find a way to unwrap for generic tileable camo textures better

@Vivid__VFX Looks great, though I do think more prominant grip dot patterns are important to its character

@tmsii_art If you're still fiddling with this, try applying the squared off snout of the left and placing it on right. I also think adding the 5 indented dots would be cool to see

@TheConnorDawn I had a similar view early on - I prefered the idea of the forerunners just being some aliens - its a big universe. I've since come around to the thematic significance of forunners-as-humans and think its enrichment of the story is worth it's tropey-ness.

In my opinion, I think this twist would've made Halo just another boring Sci-Fi where humanity is actually the super secret ultra awesome best race in the universe responsible for all good and cool things.

The original big reveal of Halo 2 (which was meant to be long enough that it also contained all of Halo 3) was the Arbiter opening up an ancient Forerunner sarcophagus and seeing a human skeleton inside

@nikos_on_yt I spent a lot of time researching Forerunner design language and what newer Halo games get right/wrong.
Main thing: It is metal but should behave more like stone in light. This means increasing roughness, avoid edgewear, kill specular and sheen, and keep normal details shallow.

15 years on they still dont understand how art and lighting tells a story

This is a great way to compare the two art-styles.
CE26 doesn’t translate CE to high fidelity. It’s an amalgamation of every Halo era.
CE purists (including me) are never going to be 100% happy with it because nothing will ever have the sauce of the 2001 Blam engine…

And people say graphics don't matter...yeah right!

@TheCountofS Discovering he was the guy behind so many piece of iconic artwork I rememberd from those years was such a cool realization.

Brah Kai Lim had my computer lab searches on lock. During the 00s, Finding art like this was why computers existed

@FoggyDay2049 Irritating skeumorphic products adopt the look but not the function of what they are imitating. In photography the look *is* the function - it doesn't suggest something (flame, functional storage) that isn't actually there, it actually delivers (picture that looks like *that*)
English
I hate skeumorphic product designs like the LED tea candles or fake drawers on a cheap cabinet. Why do we do that?
Yet I love that pics from the most technically superior cameras today are edited to emulate old film aesthetic.
Is that dishonest in the same way? Or a genuine good?

@3clipserenders Is that the infinite pelican interior or a custom model?

@jondelarroz Shilling aside, this cover art looks like shit man. I never understand why people settle for the most generic imagery imaginable and think that's gonna make someone get excited to be drawn into the world you have (ostensibly) created.

I'm almost wrapping up my new novel Spacefleet Academy to show how it's done. Make sure to sign up for my newsletter so you get notified when it drops:

Starfleet Academy did NOT get Avery Brooks back to do the cameo voice-over at the end of the latest episode.
Brooks recorded a spoken word jazz album years ago, and they extracted the line and put it in. It gives the fans the illusion he came back to endorse the show, but like everything else in modern Star Trek, it's fake and gay.
