okay, i'm new still getting used to texturing my models and this is a far cry from finished. So I really need to get schooled on my metal textures because I want this for my portfolio and need it to look photo-real within reason.

I'm having trouble mostly with the red-orangey color of my stock, magazine, and grips. It's a plastic called Bakelite and I don't know how to texture it. For that matter i'm having trouble painting my metal, too because I want it to be worn, but not rusty.

If anyone knows of any good tutorials for photo-real painting or texturing that could help me, I would be most grateful. Any help is appreciated!

    Are you wanting to use ZBrush to paint all the textures? If that's the case, then try searching for "Projection Master" tutorials for painting in photo-based normal map details like text, and scratches and such. Also try searching for "Spotlight" tutorials as well. That's more for taking a photo reference, like metal for example, and painting that image directly onto the mesh. I hope that's what you were asking for!

    Good luck and keep at it!!
