oh my lord! that thing looks like its been thru a few paintball wars and then had a nuclear bomb go off next to it! like sam said above, work on the uv'ing. Even with a 2048 texture, it looks like you're using only about 50% of available space. for the texture itself, you need to pay closer attention to how guns wear and…
