Here's a little machete I've been working on for a while. It's based on
Dan Luvisi's piece "
TURK - LMS".
I'm trying to get a realistic look. I don't have much PBR reference material so I've relied a bit on ddo's (legacy version) reflectance values, and tweaked from there.
So far I like the leather although some parts of it could use a bit of polishing. With the metal however I'm having more trouble so I'll probably try to start that over, leaving the scratches for the last part. I know some of you would suggest sculpting those scratches in (and I agree) but that's not an option for me at the moment so I'm focused on making what I can from textures.
Any feedback texturing this would be very appreciated.
