the following additonnal image of the guy indeed infirm a theory i had: http://modzero.cs.uaf.edu/~ferrio/doawall2.jpg i guess he used a modchip so he could access to the content of the game and use the mdoels and textures in his own 3d software for personnal use... i wont enter into a debate about microsoft claims about reverse engeneering, or hacking and illegality.. I just say that, imho, when you buy a product, you should be entitle to use it for your own personnal purpose, to its full extent, no matter if you manage to get otu of it more than the seller planned you to do... Most movies and games explain you can use the soundtrack, materilas and copyrigthed art for your personnal use only (well of course posting those renders in a public forum as he did forst... it is less personnal). of course they CAN be self made models, but the fact the design and textures of suits are very difficult to fake (i tried in poser all this summer, yet i am not a god of course) makes me believe it was surely more simple to extract the ressources and put them into 3ds max no flaming or judgmeent, as long as he has a legal copy of doax, a legal copy of 3ds max and such(a thing we cannot proove false or true, so let assume good faith), it is oki :) anyway i like it and as a guy who tried to reproduce by eye (no capture video, no hack chip, or such) some of the patterns with my pitiful skill for mayadoll this summer, i just am glad to see such things...
