Cel-Shade the Aura.

[SolidSnake]

Although the aura looks fine right now, I think it would look ten times better if it was cel-shaded.

damn you solid snake, don't steal my ce3l shading idea nah, im just joking. A mod I'm working on (hasn't been released) has cel shaded models. as for the aura, I dunno if it would look particularly good. Plus, they're sticking new auras in, or so I am led to believe, in 1.2
