Re: diffuse, specular, normal maps all the time!?
I doubt anyone does a gamma correction to the curve. SpecularValue = (pow(saturate(dot(Normal,HalfAngle))),SpecularPower) * SpecularColour and that's it. Find the amount the surface would reflect the light source (N dot HA), raise that to some power (either a shander const or a map controlled value) - this shrinks the… -

Color gives you brightness, as well as hue and saturation. Edit... some general texture-type resources here: http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryTextureTypes -

Re: My metallic texture looks to much like plastic
I think a key to creating good metal is your specular maps, so you may want to post them as well. Also take a look around: http://wiki.polycount.com/SpecularColorMap?highlight=%28%5CbCategorySpecularMap%5Cb%29 Not quite related to the metal, but the mesh seems to have a discontinuity angle of 0 which is causing every face… -
Re: Gnome Warlock
Overall, she looks pretty cool. I agree with pseudoBug suggestion. Eyes needs more stylization. Hair too. Maybe you could use this as textures reference: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86808&highlight=bb+hood Metal is looking dirty and blurry... You could buy this tutorial, if possible. Very enlighting.…
