In Response To: Re: ...wow...no other artists? (Pedro the Penguin)


: De-volved or refined? Some people have no appreciation for subtlety. There IS
: bumb mapping and there IS texture on the new armor. You have to zoom in on
: the edges of the highletted areas where there's a bit of burn-in. You can
: see the bump textures on the edges of those highlights. The texture now is
: just smaller and more subtle and, God forbid, more metallic-looking. The
: image isn't high-res enough to make this easily noticed, but it's there.

: Someday, people will learn to quit equating "eye-candy" to
: convincing graphics.

I agree. Spartan armor should be something that looks tough but also high tech. If you ran your finger over the announcement armor it would have fairly large bumps all over its surface, not the kind of thing a piece hugely expensive precision engineering would have.

The new armor looks like it would feel solid and metallic, not quite smooth, but certainly not so bumpy that you can see surface features for a pretty good distance away.
