I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could make a billboard for Halo Wars 2 using Atriox’s face. Given that we are limited in pieces in Halo 5’s Forge, I knew ahead of time that this was going to look pixelated at the end. So I used my math skills to determine how big the pieces needed to be to relatively fill a Billboard piece in Forge, then went to work in Photoshop creating the necessary pixels turn greenscreen pieces.<\/p>\n

I took this reddish image of Atriox:\u00a0\"hw2-atrioxblogbanner-6a261a742ef643d6bd74cca6e7534620\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blew it up so that it was mostly his face and some of his shoulder armor.<\/p>\n

I posterized this so as to give me just 8 colors.<\/p>\n

From there, I broke it down to large squares that when translated to Forge pieces would be equivalent to 2X2 greenscreen pieces. \"Pixelated<\/a>After I did this, I then made 18 larger squares from the new pixelated Atriox art:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
