Hey I posted one of my skins here before thought I would post my newest one. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=411002465 The patina finish in the CSGO workshop is pretty cool to mess around with.
Had some time today. Just need to add patina to the metal and some other touch up. Then I'll be Zbrushing the broken rock part for when I destroy it. After that, just cleaning up the whole thing and making a pseudo scene with it.
oh really? sketchbooks is where i find a lot of inspiration. It's where the people who just make art with0ut all the bs'ing hang out, lol. Check out patina's critters. If you into that sort of things his thread is constant source of inspo.
Add a slight blue hue to the spec for metal, that will help give it the blueish look. Also google metal patinas and tweak / overlay / soften light w/e works for you, it helps with some slight colour variation to break up the metal etc.
Mac, this is coming along great! Cool painting you are working from. I wouldn't mind more dirt/patina on the figures. Right now they almost look to0 bright to me. Maybe try sampling more of the beige color from the stones? Keep it up!
Looks better, but your white scratching on the edges is too strong, too uniform, and too noisy/chalky/sharp. I'd also overlay some multicolored metal patina on your metal to give it some more visual interest and texture (without overdoing it or making it noisy)
I can't be 100% sure from looking there, but what you're referring to may very well be a result of texture compression. Often with texture compression, especially on flat-toned materials as you have there, you will get strange artifacts from compression that resemble almost a patina-type effect on your model.
Been a long while since I made an update, but I made some progress in texturing the lowpoly. Still is going to get even more polishing and retouch as it is still to clean, but I'm not going for that rusty look of the WH40k:Space Marine version. Just some grunge and patina. Feel free to drop any feedback.
Yes, I tried every single one of them and even Patina didn't work. Everything is set on 0 and I can't find anything else besides my messy alpha channels in Photoshop. I'll look into that when I'm making another AWP skin in the future. Thanks for your help!
At the moment, it looks more like rust than patina. Rifle barrels that have been well kept tend to have darker spots as they age: You don't need to over do it, however - a century isn't THAT old, assuming the weapon has been well-treated. These two examples are from the 1890s & 1860s, respectively.
