Halo Elite (Redesigned Tank Armor) + Recon Upgrade
Posted By: Jensen <mtjensen@u.washington.edu>	Date: 9/28/09 3:48 a.m.
Hey guys. Been a while since I've posted here, so I'll start again. If you do want to read ----- So I wanted to make a new elite. Maybe a few of you have seen my previous elite from a long time ago. It's here: http://mikejensen.deviantart.com/art/Golden-Elite-57160096 I have been itching to make a new elite, but I wanted to make it with a twist. I knew that I wanted to make a tank elite, so this elites armor will be much more bulky than a regular elites. Also, all of the weapons will be incorporated into the suit. Since this armor was designed post halo 3, I decided that I wanted the armor to be designed by both humans and covenant engineers alike, to get the most out of it. As such, the design doesn't follow either covenant design nor human design strictly. In reality it was just a way for me to have freedom to do what I wanted with it. So don't be surprised if you see some iron man influenced parts to it. The design looks mostly human. In the final render I also want the elite holding a recon helmet in his palm, like he decimated a soldier for something. Don't ask me why I just thought it would be cool. Anyways.... ----- If you don't want to read - Images Base mesh: Zspheres: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/final-zspheres-elite.jpg Base Mesh: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/elite-basemesh.jpg Initial Armor Sculpt: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/elite-concept-sculpt-done-002.jpg ^^Each armor piece is sculpting from a cube.

I'm not copying bungies elite, cause I wanna make it different. I'm trying to make it look more menacing and scary: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/elite-full-001.jpg Here's the recon helmet he will be holding: Helmet sculpt: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/recon-011.jpg Resurface in max: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/recon-high.jpg Low Poly with normal+AO maps: http://nikon.bungie.org/images/mikejensen_tankelite/recon-aonorm.jpg Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking :P [images localized -lwu]
