Re: Hand-painted texture doesn't look right- Can't figure out why.
Are you strictly going for a diffuse only look? If you want it to look more "metal" you can use PBR. It works with hand painted. In general, metal is very shiny, unless it's rusted or has grunge added to it. You could fake those reflections in your diffuse but they might look weird in a game (because that information gets… -
Hand-painted texture doesn't look right- Can't figure out why.
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and hand-painting in general. I've recently started to make a hand-painted dwarven dagger. I'm working on the bronze/gold bits at the moment and can't get it to look right... Any tips? -

What exactly doesn't look right about it? Looks fine to me. -

I definitely need to practice with colours and representation of material, I was planning to aim for a bronze material but found it tricky to get the balance of colour right. I'm working on the contrast now, thanks for the tips MeintevdS! :) -

Metal can be really tricky to paint with just diffuse. What makes metal look right is reflection, otherwise it will just looks like stone. Try to paint in some generic reflection. Add gradients and a strong highlight. -

Thanks so much Tomenjerry, that's just perfect! I've just gotten into hand-painting and 3D modelling in general, so getting the right feel for things is still difficult for me :) And thanks Polymator, that's really useful :) I'll have to wait a while though, because I'm a bit poor at the moment... it looks like a… -

Hey! I did a paintover for you (in 3 steps), hope it helps. If you really want to get in to the handpainted stuff, check out 3d motives handpainted weapon and shield series, by Tyson murphy. It's not free, But I learned a lot. Hope this helps. Tim Try to think about where the light is hitting. try to imagine what should be… -
Re: Hand-painted texture doesn't look right- Can't figure out why.
This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for :) Because I'm new to all of this, after a few hours of looking at my work it all becomes a bit abstract and I find it hard to progress. Getting someone else's view on light values really helps, thanks Azzamat :) -
Re: Hand-painted texture doesn't look right- Can't figure out why.
I think you should chose between gold or bronze since they're completely different, doing a gold/bronze mixed bit isn't gonna work, practice with an existing material before you're gonna mix and make up your own. It mostly looks like gold to me, in which case the grey scratches/dents don't really make sense, gold has no… -
Re: Hand-painted texture doesn't look right- Can't figure out why.
Tomenjerry's paintover is pretty spot on IMO. And yes Tyson Murphy and/or Kelvin Tan are the guys I'd recommend for learning hand painting metallic surfaces. And hand painting in general.
