Hey bro, had to take a minute of fthe MF, eyes were seeing slant...
looekd back at the pic you sent me, and thought..i'd like that drushed metal look alot better, if the highlights in it was toned down just a bit..
Not much..but the whiter areas seem to ...clach wiht it..almost liek its being hit by flash lite directly...
I think thats what i didnt like about it to begin with now..
Just some thoghts

Sure, these are just tests to see if the textures are working for me...the final renders will be fine...

Jay

Not seen this for a while and its looking good jay
Congrats on the birthday as well and add another year of experience to the score

The pouches around the top belt are looking spot on. I'd expect a lot of weathering at the end of the belt too as it'd be bent and stretched every time it was put on.

Keep up the great work
Si

Hi Si

Hope ya good

Thanks.

Will have a look at the belt end, you are spot on. Just trying to get to the end now, I want to get onto my next dude...

Cheers
Jay

Update

Jay

Now with added carbon fibre!!

Jay

Hey there Jay,

I love the idea of a carbon fibre holster but the texture looks wrong to me. Carbon fibre has a weave to it showing as a cross hatched pattern, it could just be the angle but it looks to me as though the pattern is just diagonal.

Awsome work regardless.

Later,

Mat.
