This is the beginning of me starting my Halo project again, after a failed attempt last time with issues like school, my finger getting cut up, or mono. The project will consist of several halo-related artworks that will be my way of saying "Thank you Bungie, for three amazing games". I don't know how many pieces I plan to make, it might be 7 or more depending on how things go.

I wanted to remake the firebomb because I felt it was a good beginning to the project.Despite its lack of use in Matchmaking, the firebomb is loved and feared in custom games.

I know the model is not completely accurate, that is not my goal. My goal is to make it somewhat realistic and detailed interpretation of game elements, and I hope I have accomplished that. The model was made in 3dsmax, an image of the untextured verson can be seen here: [link]
The Textures were painted in Photoshop, most details by hand but some subtle and random bumps were made using a texture from my microwave. I would have added details in Zbrush if my trial had not run out and I could afford it, haha. But I like the result and I hope all of you do too.

This was rendered in Maxwell, the glow is authentic beleive it or not. The emitter is the liquid behind the thin glass layer which has some smudging and scratches on it.


Thank you,
Dan Gerstner
