----THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS------


This is the lastest skin I've been working on. I've gone as far a I can go with it and posted it up here for everyone to try it out and give me a little help on the lighting and reflection. I've read at the Valve Developer Community website on how to create a separate light reflection between two materials. But with trying that I've ended up with no "shine", just flat lighting.

If there is anyone who would like to look at the VMT and let me know how to correct this problem. Pic 4 is an example of what I'm talking about........thanks!



Enjoy everyone!!!------------- XP

Detail: I really like the engraved pattern of this gun, and the phong shading and reflection maps makes it more metallic.
Functionality: Very functional?
Model: Well, it is the default model, which is good. I suppose the texture goes well with the model.
Originality: This is an original skin to me, although there are many "gold" type skins here. However, I think this one has more genuine effort than the some of the half assed gold skins.
Realism: Realism? I don't think many shotguns are gold with engravings and named Betsy, but I won't really take off points for that, shouldn't have made realism a criteria.
Texture: The yellow is a little bland and uniform in my opinion, but I guess it has to be. I will be using this.


Thanks you the assessment and happy that you are using it. Enjoy! This one has been out for awhile and I've thought recently to make a V2 and play more with the color and lighting. And again I'm glad that that your using it in-game. ---- 8D

You know what phong is right ?
qoute me please.


Yea I got phong in the skin, but I'm still learning how to correctly use it. I've even looked at the tutorials here as well as at VDC. Dude, just download it, pick it apart, and see where I need improving. I really want to learn to do this right and ANY input will be appreciated.


open your skins reflection map and reduce the brightness. like alot, so that only corners and some other bits can be seen.
that might fix it.


Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I realy don't see how this deserves expert!
ffs.
it's just a yellow overlay with ..
infact it's just yellow end of.


READ my notes, it isn't done. I can always change and vary the color. I don't think it deserves expert either but as far as the VMT goes, I think I did a pretty good job (with a few things to work at there). I don't care about the color right now what I need is some input on the problem I'm having with the light reflection variations.

Detail: Good detail but you didnt add any color change to yellow.
Model: No model included in download.
Realism: Ive never seen a yellow gun before.
Texture: Its just yellow with some engravings. Engravings are nice but make the yellow look more like gold rather than one solid color!
Thanks
