Originally posted by CGWolfgang Hey Hummlas I really dig the level of detail you put into this Its very clean. While not a critique I do have one question about the final render. What type of finish are you going for? Because if you're going for the "Hey lookat my brand new off the shelf, never been fired chromed Hand Cannon!" Then you've hit the mark in my opinion because it looks nice. If you want to go for more of a used look you could add a small ammount of scratches along the slide and trigger guard (Thats where they tend to collect if you're drawing and holstering the weapon) But the scratches are usually very faint and thin. But it all really depends on what you want your final render to look like. Good Job! :attn: Thank you! The used look would be way more awesome, but I don't know at what end to start (never really painted textures before). Should the scratches be made with a bump-map and perhaps a map for the reflective color (using mia materials)? should I paint the scratches in the diffuse color as well?
