Lol, which I obviously don't care since I gave it out anyway :p Frankly I see no point in preserving anything you make unless its for a company. And if that's the case, why would the acrobat file leave the company?

As for reference -- that was all I had. Bungie hasn't released much on Halo 3 yet... I've mostly just been grabbing frames from https://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?cid=9340 as necessary. The reference for this image was *horrible* but then again that's what I needed to compensate for.

As for reference planes -- that's all I had. I worked it off the reference plane until I had the rough cylindrical components made -- then when I joined it together I manually rotated everything into the traditional T. Since then it's all "Leave the video in monitor 2, and look back and forth".

Hard but necessary.

As an appendix: https://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat3d/tryout.html

30-day trial for Acrobat 3d. Doesn't accept mb or ma files -- but it can screengrab (have the viewport open and click printscreen with Acrobat open in the background and set on grab from screen -- didn't work for me since I have XP x64) or just simply import OBJ files.
